I’m thinking about getting a PS5 Pad. I know that the PS5 pad received some driver support however i read that the Adaptive Triggers don’t work (does that mean the triggers don’t work at all?). Though i can’t find any newer info about that and don’t know if this still is a thing.
I know that i could pick up some 8bitdo Pro Pad as an alternative though i haven’t been happy with their quality (The R and L Buttons suffer from a really bad design with a very thin rubber that died on me the second Time already)
Just got a DualSense controller like a week ago and have been playing with it a bunch.
It works very well as a standard controller. If you use Steam Input, it all good.
If you use it directly, it also works, and also adaptive triggers work too, but haptic feedback does not currently work due to the feature not being implemented in WINE/Proton. There is a patchset floating around that adds the support, and there is even a compiled version of Proton with it here, but from what I can tell, major Proton/WINE distributions such as GE do not seem to carry it, which is a bummer.
So, in my opinion, DualSense is a good choice for gaming on Linux, with a few more kings to be ironed out.
