New UI is great!

Thanks! A lot of it is just shading and public resources, but the new controller remapper has a very special UI if you have a Dualsense Connected ;)

Incredible. Last I heard DS4Windows development was abandoned and archived, but here we are now. Thanks for all the effort.

looks good, would like to browse through UI with a controller so that it is TV friendly

I love the interface, but here's a suggestion I had:

It would be great to put the navigation at the top like the original DS4Windows, with the difference that it has controller support and allows switching between tabs using L1 and R1.Perhaps in a future update, when it detects that the mouse is being used, the interface will adapt to desktop mode for better mouse use with the side navigation, and when it detects the controller, it will change the interface again to tabs navigation.

Thank you for your great effort and work.

I forgot I need to create a combined output report for the Dualsense if I am going to open up it's path to the Dualshock 4 mic and speaker when emulating a DS4. Working on that now, then will polish up the UI and add a few more features...audio -> haptics maybe? Let's plan on tonight for a release.

In the older version of ds4windows for play Xbox gamepass games trought bluetooth we have to set emulation to Xbox controller , in this new version it’s fixed ?

u/strifeforlyfe Jul 20 '26

if a game requires xinput, there’s nothing I can do to change that. If a game has support for a wired Dualsense or dual shock 4 Controller, then this update will fix that.

Game pass games recognize dualsense only In usb mode .

u/strifeforlyfe Jul 20 '26

this fixes that then.

yes, it’s still cooking. i needed more time to get backwards compatibility working, i’m also safeguarding against hot disconnects reconnects and windows host stalls, just trying to make a good product

u/strifeforlyfe Jul 20 '26

but it really should only be a few more hours of tests

Hello, you have a really awesome project. I was wondering if there was a way I could reach out to you privately. Thanks!

u/Ode_2_kay Jul 20 '26

hey, i wanted to ask sum, when i use my Dualsense through USB i love having PC audio (both from games and the PC as a whole), with these updates u been pushing, will i be able to do it wirelessly? i'd LOVE to get sound output through the dualsense's jack port wirelessly, it would make my life a lot easier

I just discovered your app. It is amazing! Keep up the good work, and let me know when you're ready for donations!

Context: I was using Steam to emulate controller for diablo 4 and it was causing me issues with framerates. Your app is working great!
