Huh. Windows just... natively interfaces with PS5 controllers now.

oh???????????????????/

Bumped my PS5 controller touch pad and it started scrolling my BlueSky timeline lol

i could have sworn that could always use xinput, but good to know!!!

Has for a while!

To be fair I haven't had a need to plug a controller in for a while now. My wife just prefers them b/c she has reduced hand mobility.

Hopefully that means Xbox can do it soon too

Nice

But Microsoft aren't moving to setting up a better relationship with Sony at all. Indiana Jones is an Xbox exclusive...Oh no wait, it WAS.

I play Baulders Gate 3 with a PS4 controller and its excellent. I imagine PS5 has the same support.

I wish the api support for dualsense controllers was better and more widespread for games

It's worked since at least 2022 on Windows 10. Windows 7 needed Steam to make it play ball outside of games, though.

I want one so bad

Windows and Mac natively supporting official gamepads is awesome as a veteran of downloading dodgy drivers off the Internet.
