Using PS5 DualSense on your PC
As much as we want to give you information on the DualSense Edge, we have to wait for further announcements about this subject. If the upcoming controller does have PC compatibility, maybe you can use this guide too! On the other hand, if you have the PS5 DualSense, you may want to try connecting it to your PCs. We’ll provide you with a simple step-by-step guide!
- If you’re curious about the DualSense to PC gaming, use Steam, USB, or even Bluetooth to connect your controller to your PC! It isn’t really too much to do, just a few steps along the way and you’re ready to go.
Connect via USB
- The easiest way to connect your DualSense to your PCs is through USB. Although, you’ll be needing a USB-C to USB-A cable to connect the controller. The DualSense utilizes a USB type-C port, by the way.
- You can simply plug the cable into your DualSense and your PC. As far as we know, Windows can automatically detect it. Anyhow, if you have a USB-C port on your PC, you may use a USB-C cable to connect your DualSense.
via Bluetooth
- To simply connect via Bluetooth, ensure that your PC has Bluetooth built-in to receive that controller pairing. From there, hold the DualSense’s central button and Create button simultaneously for about three seconds, and the lightbar flashes.
- Access your Bluetooth settings on your PC, then select the Wireless Controller button. But if you’re using Windows 10, peek at the lower right corner of your screen and see a bubble icon there. Click and this brings you to the Action Center, hover over Bluetooth then click, then head to Wireless Controller.
Connect via Steam
- Firstly, open your Steam application, then hover over the upper left part where you click Steam. Then, head to the Settings, to Controller, and then General Controller Settings. Make sure your DualSense is connected to your PC (wired or wireless, whatever you prefer). Steam detects the controller so you may expect a configuration window where you can adjust the controls. If none, head over to the device, then click Define Layout.
- From there, you can tweak the settings based on your preference. Do remember to select it as a PlayStation 4 controller. You should save these settings and name your DualSense. On the Controller settings, tick the boxes of Generic Gamepad Configuration Support and PlayStation Configuration Support to enable them.
That’s it, players! Enjoy!
