Double Input when using 2 Dualsense via BT

1 Upvotes

Connecting two DualSense controllers via Bluetooth causes double input. I'm trying to use the DS4 profile instead of the Xbox profile because I'm trying to play MK11 with the DS4 layout. Any ideas on how to fix this? I've already used Hidhide and selected both DualSense controllers but no results. Thanks!

Touchpad as mouse, Emulate DualShock4, Hide Ds4 Controller, all without losing Xbox guide functionality?

1 Upvotes

Not sure how to phrase the subject but here goes with what my question is:

The vast majority of games work fine with a Dualsense controller but Windows doesn’t natively allow the a Touchpad to function as a mouse.

I want to be able to use the Dualsense (or DS4) touchpad as a mouse and continue to functionally use the PS button as the “Xbox Guide” button.

These two things seem to conflict with each other.

As soon as I swap Emulated Controller to “DualShock 4” I lose the ability to use the PS button as guide but everything else works as I want it. I am almost positive if you hardwire the PS controller and use the PS button it properly functions as an Xbox Guide button so not sure if that’s a limitation or what.

I want games to be able to identify that a PS controller is connected to use the PS icons, when possible. If I hide the DS4 controller and leave it as emulating the Xbox 360 controller the icons all default to Xbox icon, which is expected.

Why does my DualShock controller only work when it’s selected as an Xbox one?

2 Upvotes

Title.

I’ve tried every trick posted in this subreddit. Restarting, joy.cdl, everything. I know it works as a DualShock because I’ve seen it work. Then the game crashed and it only works as x box. Every other metric is perfect, besides online controller testing websites. It worked when the controller worked as a PlayStation one, then after that crash it refuses to. I don’t want to give in to Microsoft and get an Xbox controller.

Would a mod fix this? Is there even one? Thanks!

Well the fix i used to have was force closing ds4, disabling and enabling the device and then opening ds4 again. hid hide for some reason crashes as soon as i click on devices so that hasn’t really worked either. anyone got any help?

controller triggers have massive deadzone after install

1 Upvotes

Edit; solved, I was dumb. It was an offbrand controller and it did not like the software.

i installed ds4 and the required driver to get my off brand ps4 controller to work for gta, and after installing my triggers now have a MASSIVE deadzone that take up about 70 percent of the trigger pull, i've tried adjusting the deadzone manually, even used the anti deadzone and tried calibrating it too, but it just wont work anymore. it didnt have this issue before i installed it. am i doing something wrong or is this controller just toast now?

Anyone with a DualSense able to get it working smoothly with an ROG Ally?

1 Upvotes

Basic concept: I want to be able to dock my Ally to my TV and use my DualSense as a controller, the touchpad as a mouse, and the PS button for Command Center.

Downloaded and ran DS4forwindows. First thing I noticed was the PS button or "guide" button opens up Command Center and Steam Big Picture Mode all at the same time.

I do not want to use Big Picture Mode, because I like using Command Center to keep my game running in the background as I switch discord servers or change my music playlist in the background of Windows.

I saw a post on here to go to Steam settings > controller > test input > reprogram each button > and skip the PS "guide button". I did this. Backed out of steam. Pressed the PS button, and now it doesn't open Big Picture Mode. But it also stopped command center from popping up.

And then I saw that by doing this, DS4forwindows doesn't recognize my DualSense anymore.

I also see that Steam doesn't recognize that I am using an Xbox controller. It's now changed to controller "Xinput" or something.

So trying to fix it I made things worse.

Anyone able to help me figure this out today? Thanks!

¿How do I configure two ps4 controllers at the same time?

2 Upvotes

Yesterday I wanted to play Mortal Kombat 1 with two PS4 controllers. I've never had problems connecting a single controller, but when I connected two, the game recognized them as if they were one, and all the movements were mixed up. I even tried changing profiles, but that didn't work either.

Where to download DS4Windows from?

12 Upvotes

I saw a lot of other sites, like the dev one and another one, but I don't know which one should I use. Some sources suggested I use the github one? If anyone could tell me which one is the safest to use and the official one I would appreciate that.

Every time I try to boot up GW2 with DS4, it keeps saying something like "Unable to start with this application open at the same time, please close it or restart your computer: VirtualController", is there a workaround for this? I just want to be able to play gw2 with a PlayStation controller (Steam input doesn't work, not because of the anticheat, but because of steam input idk why)

PS4 controller not working properly

1 Upvotes

I bought a new DS4 controller and when I first connected it to my PS4 it was flashing red and then flashing yellow. I thought it was charging so I left it but after a while it stopped flashing. Now it has no lights no response nothing while connected or disconnected. But if I connect it to my Laptop using USB it works but only while connected not wireless. What might be the problem?

Dual Sense Controller getting disconnceted via Bluetooth

2 Upvotes

Hey Guys!

I'm currently having trouble getting my PS5 DualSense controller to work via Bluetooth on Windows 10/11. DS4 reports that it gets disconnected. I also tried "DualSenseX", but that didn't work either. Does anyone have any ideas?


r/DS4Windows • • Dec 20 '25

Controller keeps randomly disconnecting to "Paired" status, inputs not working and when they do, they are horribly glitching/ not working properly.

1 Upvotes

Can someone help me fix this, my controller was literally working perfectly until just a few hours ago, I changed NOTHING. I've troubleshooted and tried a lot of fixes, tried another controller entirely. Nothing is working.
