Hey RyanLion! You’re welcome, glad it was helpful. There have been a few changes since making this video but you managed ok? Making an updated version so interested to hear back.
2:29 The part connecting the DS5 to the PC via bluetooth is what I had trouble with. First attempt was: press PS button on controller, see notification on windows that controller was detected, click notification, click "Yes" to connect. Instead of connecting the controller would instantly switch off, and i was back to square 1. What I had to do was press the reset button on controller, then turn on pairing by holding PS button and the button to the left of touchpad, until the light was flashing. I could then use the normal Windows bluetooth settings to connect it, and it worked. Both of these should do the same thing, but only doing the 2nd method exactly worked for me.
I don’t usually comment on any YT videos. Thank you so much habibi. I didn’t know why it wasn’t appearing but thankfully it worked after watching your video.

Hey Zaxhys! This usually happens if you’ve installed before. You can bring it up manually. Just go to the settings tab and under the “Utils” section you click on “Controller/Driver Setup” and that will open the same setup wizard.
Hey @TjGamin yes I believe you can, create a new profile (for native dualsense), edit the profile, go the "other" tab, and click "disable virtual controller". even though virtual controller is disabled, you will still be able to use your bindings. Let me know if that does it for you. Also note adaptive triggers only work over wired

God bless you brother. the thing that worked for me was, having the controller unplugged, just going to settings, device options, check the box “on” that says “dual sense support” x the window out, go to “controllers” hit “stop” and then “start” and it should appear once u plug the controller in with usb

DS4 is criminal for adding hidden option to enable ps5 controller to work, been beating my head on a table for 5 hours troublshooting. Thanks for the fix man
Thank you for making this video. It is the only thing that worked. The one thing I did find "confusing" was when I first installed it, it was saying it was an "xbox360" in the profile info. had to create a new profile for a PS4 controller. Then it worked for me. The only thing it seems I can't do is change the camera from 1st to 3rd person with the touchpad anymore (like the PS5). Have to use the "V" keyboard command. but as of right now....THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED...so THANK YOUUUUUUUUU! Appreciate the vid!
Hey Raith! You are welcome, glad you found it helpful! Just remember if a certain game is not working you can always change it back to 360 mode in the profile :-) Which game were you switching from 1st to 3rd person?
Hello, I have a problem with a Dualsense for PS5. Basically whenever I move the analogs, the pc detects as if I am moving the mouse, same think if I press the circle, it's like I want to go back...with the dualsense edge this doesn't happen, what can I do?

absolutely fantastic, it was the only method to succeed, after dozens of attempts, and that with an extension, having a 5m usb cable, attached with an extension. to be able to play dying light the first version 1.2, where it is possible to find golden weapons, in chests. you are the best!
Hey Repede! Awesome, glad it was helpful! That’s one serious usb cable run you have there! Hate to see what the HDMI run is like 😅

hey! at 1:51 i dont get the DS4Window.exe for some reason. Is there a solution?
Hey Mist! Did you manage to sort your issue?
I think your antivirus may have “eaten” the .exe?
Man thank you. This worked. It was not showing up.
Hey R R, you’re welcome, glad it helped 👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks my guy, came in with the clutch yet again
Hey @@jaleezie ! Glad it was helpful 👍🏻😀
Bro thank you soooo much now i can finally enjoy dark souls 3. your a lifesaver brooo

Thank you for making this video. It is the only thing that worked. The one thing I did find "confusing" was when I first installed it, it was saying it was an "xbox360" in the profile info. had to create a new profile for a PS4 controller. Then it worked for me. The only thing it seems I can't do is change the camera from 1st to 3rd person with the touchpad anymore (like the PS5). Have to use the "V" keyboard command. but as of right now....THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED...so THANK YOUUUUUUUUU! Appreciate the vid!
Hey Raith! You are welcome, glad you found it helpful! Just remember if a certain game is not working you can always change it back to 360 mode in the profile :-)
Which game were you switching from 1st to 3rd person?
Heh, forget to mention it. I am playing Red Dead Redemption 2, through Steam first > Rockstar Launcher.

Hello, I have a problem with a Dualsense for PS5. Basically whenever I move the analogs, the pc detects as if I am moving the mouse, same think if I press the circle, it's like I want to go back...with the dualsense edge this doesn't happen, what can I do?
Hey @@marcokappaa ! Just in case it solves the issue please check out this updated video:

Hey @makaras ! You’re welcome, glad this was helpful. Enjoy Watch Dogs 2!
DS4Windows still will not open when I click on the application. 1:50 what am I doing wrong?
Hey Colin! Could be your antivirus/malware protection on the pc or you don’t have admin rights? 🤷♂️
Oh man, God, u realy just save me from tilt. Literaly the best. Realy love u
Glad I could help Klaus! 💚👍🏻👊🏻
2:04 I have the DS4 Windows but there are no controller connected (my controller is connected to my pc) please help
Hey @LeonardDArmani Usb or Bluetooth?
does the adaptive trigger and haptic feedback work with ds4 windows ?
Haptics yes while wired but no adaptive triggers at this stage. There are varying levels of support form games though. Check out the list: www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Controller:DualSense
ALL the steps have driven me insane
Hey @@theodore961 Hope you found your sanity again 😅🤙🏻
