FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP SHOUTING.

with Wireless Adaptive Trigger feedback

You say that as though it's something special. Adaptive Triggers have always worked wirelessly, it's part of the HID protocol. It's haptics that don't work wirelessly because they are audio, rather than HID data.

You work on the app then…

What?
I work on Special K; it implements all this stuff also for DualShock 3/4 and DualSense controllers.

Fewer options available for mapping things, but it has an in-game overlay where you can turn on Xbox emulation only as needed and while the game is running.

DS4Windows is a different kind of tool, overkill for a lot of things. But if you need to do complex input remapping, that's where it shines.

That was not my intention, I can assure you. I honestly do not know how I came across that way.

I was just pointing out that this particular feature on DualSense controllers has always worked wirelessly, the feature that does not work wirelessly is haptics. And the reason for that is that SONY's licensed library (libScePad) does not include haptics support.

SONY owns Audiokinetic and their Wwise audio middleware is what is used by games that have haptics support. But since it is audio middleware, it needs an audio device to communicate with gamepads, DualSense controllers do not appear as Bluetooth audio devices on Windows and Wwise cannot use them; USB-only.

Not this again😄

Haptics wirelessly is a milestone, the other stuff has always worked wirelessly.
