DualSense Haptics

Turn your PS5 DualSense into a PC haptic peripheral. Static adaptive trigger resistance, native DualSense passthrough, and virtual Xbox 360 output — all without a PlayStation.

---

Features

• Static trigger resistance — L2 and R2 hold firm while pressed
• Native DualSense output — games that support the controller read it directly
• Virtual Xbox 360 mode — XInput-only games see a controller via ViGEmBus
• HidHide integration — cloak the real pad so games see only the virtual one
• Frameless UI — clean, minimal window with custom titlebar
• USB + Bluetooth — auto-detects transport, CRC-32 valid on wireless
• Zero config — plug in, launch, it works
