Wait till you try a game with support for the adaptive triggers, like Rift Apart, where the trigger will only pull halfway for primary fire (and resist being pulled further), and putting in more force to pull it fully is secondary fire.
Most games don't use it of course, but it IS supported and working.
Wow, that sounds cool!
Is this a feature of latest DualSense controller from PS5?
Yes. Though it's not a "latest" DS5 thing, it's in all DS5 controllers.
We have two PS4 controllers we use everyday on a pop os machine. Fully recommend!
Yup, mine work well too. Haven't gotten a PS5 controller, but my two PS4 controllers are great.
Still waiting on $ony or m$ to introduce back paddles as independent buttons, removable battery packs with AA support on ps controllers, and hall effect everything that moves. But Linux hardware support is indeed impressive and nothing like the old days.
This is how I felt about my Stadia controller! Under Windows I had to buy some third party software to get it to work, and the rumble still doesn't work there. However in Linux wired or wireless works perfectly, and the rumble works too!
Been using mine on Linux for a few years, love it too!
More or less yeah. My PS5 controller has stopped working via bluetooth (on basically all my machines) until I applied a firmware patch using a Windows only tool. Other than that, it's been my preferred controller, and the PS4 controller was before that. I don't like the internal lithium ion batteries in them though. I've had to replace 3 of them between the 2 controllers in the ~8 years I've had them. Xbox controllers just take regular batteries with is pretty handy. Though I've had the same suddenly-stopped-working-on-bluetooth-until-you-update-the-firmware issue on those as well. -_-
