To be fair, the PS5 controller is absolutely the best PC controller out there. Got a fucking trackpad right in the center, gyro, proper drivers, DS4Windows handles all sorts of context-switching if you set up your profiles per active window, etc.
Everyone could follow their lead here.
Don't even own a console but I went with Xbox Series X when I needed a controller for my pc. Your comment is given me buyers remorse even though it's been like 2 years since I bought it. The trackpad and gyro would be quite nice :/
The trackpad even has individual zones, and I can't believe XBox controllers don't have a gyro in them yet! Gyro aiming is the fucking GOAT.
The DS5 trackpad can be programmed so that if you use the left half of it, it does one thing, if you use the right it does something else, if you use 2 fingers and swipe it can change profiles, all sorts of crazy stuff.
ONLY complaint that I have with it is that the battery only lasts for 14 hours or so. Xbox/Switch controllers last daaaaays for me, and the DS5 I have to recharge more often. It's not a big deal for me, but it might be for others.
Yep, I picked up the Dualsense controller for my PC. Easily the best controller. I just wish we had broader support for the adaptive triggers!
