        Gadget of the Week Playstation 5 Controller

        DualSense™ Wireless PS5 Controller

        • The DualSense wireless controller for PS5 offers immersive haptic feedback2, dynamic adaptive triggers2 and a built-in microphone, all integrated into an iconic design.

        • Feel physically responsive feedback to your in-game actions with dual actuators which replace traditional rumble motors. In your hands, these dynamic vibrations can simulate the feeling of everything from environments to the recoil of different weapons

        • Experience varying levels of force and tension as you interact with your in-game gear and environments. From pulling back an increasingly tight bowstring to hitting the brakes on a speeding car, feel physically connected to your on-screen actions.

        • Available from Sony for $69.99

        • Linux driver support

        • [From Roderick Colenbrander]([email protected])

          • Supported in linux

          • *DualSense in both Bluetooth and USB modes
            *LEDs
            *Touchpad
            *Motion Sensors
            *Rumble

          • Not supported yet

          • *Adaptive Triggers
            *VCM based Haptics

            These features require a large amount of data and complex data structures. It is not clear how to

            expose these. The current Evdev and FF frameworks are too limiting. We hope
            to have a dialog on how to expose these over time in a generic way.

            • Companies are starting to get it - make a good controller, make the code open so everyone can use it, people will buy your controller.

                • Improved operations to a number of the tools

                • Releasing the first version of the new user manual, now split into a separate project named “dtdocs”. We have completely reorganised and rewritten the manual into a more maintainable structure using Markdown.

                • Hovering your mouse over the header of a processing module now displays a tool tip providing detailed in-app documentation.

                • Many users have requested customization of module groups, and now that feature is here! Processing modules in the darkroom can now be assigned to user-defined module groups. This replaces the previous “favorites” group and the “more modules” module with a tool that allows you to create your own module groups and presets based on your work flow.
