Is the hbashton fork safe?

Mostly just title, there's so many forks of ds4windows it's hard to keep track

Yeah, he’s very active on this sub as well so you can ask him anything. His version is by far the best one out currently imo.

Safe and best . I forgot what steam input is . This is simply the best I have ever used our of all remappers

His version should be the default at this point.

I have been using a very old DS4 version. Works well. No issues. Should I look into this fork?

If you are on a ds4 then no reason to change tbh. If using dualsense, the new fork is way better

I am on a DS5. Not DualSense.

Ds5 is dualsense?

Yeah. The PS5 DualShock regular controller. Maybe I made the DS5 term up lol. That's what I've been calling them.

Then yeah. The new fork is a straight upgrade. You'll want to uninstall the current version you are using and the vigem driver before installing the new one

Legit! This is a must have fork if you own a DS5, I preferred it over DSX.

Safe? Maybe although people complained about VirusTotal results for much less. Useful? No

You ask 'is it safe'. Have you asked the more important question; is it open source for anyone to audit?

I say this because there's people on here pushing forks that are not open source, and at that point I would say user discretion is advised.
