DualSense haptics now work wirelessly on PC: DSX beta brings Bluetooth support

DSX, a PC app on Steam, just added something wireless haptics and adaptive triggers over Bluetooth in a new beta: wireless haptics and adaptive triggers over Bluetooth. So if you use Sony’s PlayStation 5 controller on PC, you can finally get its best features without keeping a USB-C cable plugged in.

Sony still doesn’t officially support this on PC. DSX apparently gets around that by making your computer think it’s connected to a wired DualSense, then sending the haptics and trigger data over Bluetooth anyway. Until now, the options were pretty limited. Stay plugged in, or mess with DIY fixes like a Raspberry Pi Pico adapter.

The timing matters, too. Sony keeps bringing more first-party games to PC, and a lot of those ports make heavy use of DualSense feedback. Valve says daily controller use on Steam has tripled since 2018. PlayStation controllers now account for 26% of all controller gaming sessions on the platform, according to Valve.

So far, early impressions from Digital Foundry and PC Gamer have been positive. There are still a few open questions, though, especially around accessibility benefits and whether reliable unofficial support like this could shape how developers think about advanced controller features on PC.

If you use a DualSense on PC, this beta is probably worth trying. You can get DSX on Steam for PC.
