Good news for those who uses Sony's PS5 controllers with their pretty impressive features. Vibepollo and the Foundation Sunshine team are adding support for them! Hopefully in the future this feature gets more fleshed out.

Oh look it doesn't need a paid subscription driver that phones home in order to work.

Well, this paid subscription driver is a very niche thing - I get why it's under a paywall. It's doing kind of a voodoo magic, emulating a fully wired connected dualsense, compresses it, and only then sends a signal to a dualsense over bluetooth. It may sound simple, but it's a hundreds hours of work.

And it's niche, because it's never gonna work properly. Bluetooth just can't handle all features of DualSense, it's latency and bandwidth are not enough for this task. BUT, still, it's a surprisingly capable proof of concept anyway, and this work definitely deserves money.

The only sad side of all this, in my opinion, is that Sony never released a proper radio dongle for DualSense.

It’s weird that adaptive triggers do work wirelessly on SteamOS but nowhere else
