Dongle Modification Successfully Enables Wireless DualSense Triggers and Haptics on PC
If you're a fan of using the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller on PC, you're not alone. With the help of Steam Input, you can fully utilize the controller's gyro and touchpad features, and some PlayStation Studios games even natively support adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.
However, if you're a user like Reddit user u/SlaveKnightSoman, you've likely noticed that these two core features, which are highly preferred by PlayStation 5 players, don't work when the PC is connected wirelessly. This is due to the limitations of the Windows Bluetooth stack, which doesn't support 4-channel audio bandwidth, unlike PlayStation 5 or Linux.

Fortunately, a solution already exists for u/SlaveKnightSoman and other players in the form of the DS5Dongle script by GitHub user awalol. Using this script with the Raspberry Pi Pico 2W, you can restore all DualSense functionality on PC even when used wirelessly. However, instead of connecting to PC's Bluetooth as usual, you need to pair with the Pico 2W dongle. A video demonstrating this feature was posted on the r/Raspberry_Pi subreddit and garnered significant attention, making it an excellent quality-of-life improvement for DualSense gamers while also demonstrating the utility of the compact Raspberry Pi Pico 2W.

Requirements for using wireless DualSense adaptive triggers and haptic feedback on PC:
-- DualSense Controller
-- Raspberry Pi Pico 2W
-- awalol DS5Dongle script from GitHub
Note: DualSense features on PlayStation 5 are fully supported via Bluetooth through the hid-playstation kernel driver in Linux environments and also work with Steam Input. This dongle and script are only necessary for Windows users.
