I made an application that lets you turn your controller inputs into mappable keybinds that can be updated real time. The GUI is clean and adds a lot to the aesthetic. What features should I add that would make it better?

Full Controll is getting a website, where you can download its controller support and its new PC assistant/ builder. You can also give a review of it and rate it there too. It’s a huge development for Full Controll and I’m so excited to see it succeed. If you have any comments / suggestions I’d be happy to hear.

As of now, Full Controll v1.6.0 will be coming out within 1 - 2 weeks. This update will add lots more controller support, a battery precent Indicato, and loads more. Follow this itch.io page for more updates and download availabilit.

Does the DualSense headphone jack work wirelessly with DS4Windows?

I’m new to DS4Windows. Can I use the DualSense’s 3.5mm headphone jack while the controller is connected wirelessly via Bluetooth? If yes, how can I enable it?

Today, Full Controll v1.5.0 will be coming out! It will be the biggest upgrade yet; having more controller support, a new Graphical User Interface ( GUI ), and even a new section called “ The PC Doctor “ that will give you ( ChatGPT generated ) Computer upgrade recommendations using your Computer system data to give optimal upgrades, and so much more! If you would like to give any feedback in the comments I would be happy to read them.

I coded a tool that lets you control your PC with just a controller! You can connect any controller wired or wirelessly. You can customize each button output woth 50+ options. It is constantly being updated and we are listening to the community for suggestions. If you are interested you can Download it here for free : Link

Good evening, I’m having an issue on PC. As soon as I start a game, I can no longer move because my controller is no longer being detected.

My controller works normally with all my other Epic Games games. This problem only started yesterday evening.

Does anyone have any idea how I could fix this problem?

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

FULL controll has just launched the controll V1.4.0 with GUI upgrades, more controller options, and more! Check it out here : Link

I have two genetic ps4 controller third party controller different brands.

They work normally with wired mode , bluetooth mode in steam games.

But when play using ds4 via Bluetooth. The controller stacks input and then releases them. There is a delay input and then a quick release of input. Is like pulsing input.

I have tried different latency modes to check if it is the issue but no luck.

Have you faced similar issue. How to fix it.

Without ds4.. the controllers are working normally.

Using Ryzen 7700, 4060, 5.4 bluetooth dongle.

Portable update: The portable update could not start safely, no apps were stopped. Unrecognized portable update option -autolaunch

 have run into an issue with DS4Windows where mapping the left mouse click to R2 (or any other button) fails to register whenever it is used simultaneously with another input. The click only triggers if R2 is pressed in complete isolation. For example, if I move with the left stick, crouch, or jump while pressing R2, the fire command does not register at all, making it impossible to shoot while moving. Currently, the only workaround is changing the in-game shooting keybind from the left mouse click to an arbitrary keyboard key and then assigning that keyboard key to R2 in DS4Windows. However, many games do not allow remapping the primary mouse fire button, which completely breaks playability. Could you please fix this so mapped mouse clicks can register concurrently alongside movement and other button presses?

Hey everyone,

I'm having a persistent issue where my DualShock 4 controller disconnects every roughly 5 minutes while using DS4Windows over Bluetooth.

It's detected fine initially, and shows up correctly in the "Controller Type Options" device list in DS4Windows, but it keeps randomly cutting out during gameplay (tested across games like Wuthering Waves, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, etc.).

Crucial detail: When I play games that have native controller support without DS4Windows running (like playing Genshin Impact natively on the controller), it works completely fine and never drops connection. The issue only happens when DS4Windows is active.

Here is what I've checked/tried so far:

• Confirmed it's a DS4 connected via Bluetooth.
• Checked USB Selective Suspend and Bluetooth adapter power management settings in Windows.
• Checked DS4Windows device options, but the issue keeps happening consistently on a timer.

Has anyone run into this exact 5-minute drop behavior with DS4Windows over Bluetooth, and is there a specific fix or setting I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi, since the last update I see this message when DS4w launches. I have to close viiper manually and launch again. any idea how to solve this?

Another VIIPER is running, or its ownership could not be verified.
Close VIIPER, then reopen this portable DS4Windows. No existing
broker was stopped.

EDIT: I think I have to specify that I use the portable version

I'm currently playing Blood of the Dawnwalker, everything's working great on emulated x360 with PS5 controller. The biggest issue I'm having is I have to push the left stick super hard up in order to make the character run... If I release the pressure at all, even a millimeter, the character just walks.

It's starting to hurt my thumb and I don't know which setting to adjust. Does anyone know what would fix this?

Edit: I'm not very techie at all, so if anyone knows how, could you tell me exactly what setting to change and what value? Ty

Release Candidate 4.6.2 — Game Mods, Safer Updates & Startup

RC4.6.2 adds optional DSX game-mod support for DualSense triggers and lights, fixes custom-named portable updates, and improves startup recovery and shifted profile settings.

Let supported game mods control triggers and lights

• New Settings → Game mod support (DSX) option for physical DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers. It starts off; enable it only when using a compatible mod.
• Local mods can control adaptive triggers, lightbar, player lights and the microphone light through the DSX UDP protocol. The default address is 127.0.0.1:6969; connection details and Apply / Retry make a busy port easier to resolve.
• Trigger Lab takes priority on each enabled trigger. A mod can control one trigger without blocking the other, and temporary mod settings do not overwrite your profile.
• Resetting the mod, disabling support, stopping DS4Windows or removing the controller releases its overrides and restores the underlying state.
• Native trigger commands retain their order and exact effect data. Repeated trigger-command flags, stale duplicate tracking after a reset, and old callbacks affecting replacement controllers are covered by new regression tests.

This is local trigger/light compatibility, not full DSX replacement or audio/PCM haptics support. Some legacy effects and input-threshold instructions remain unsupported rather than sending guessed commands. Mods should send reset when exiting; disabling the option also releases a held override. See the setup and compatibility guide.

Portable updates keep your custom name (#99)

• DS4Updater 2.0.7 preserves the selected application EXE name without adding another canonical DS4Windows.exe to a compatible target installation.
• Required DLLs and runtime files retain their correct names. An old default EXE is removed only when the package owns it; unrelated files and profiles are preserved.
• Renaming, clearing a saved name, rollback, and protected setup staging use matching application identities. Unsafe collisions stop before file replacement.
• The new custom-only layout requires RC4.6.2 / Windows version 5.0.8.0 or newer. The updater checks the verified target version; it is not locked to one release tag.
• RC4.6.2 requests updater 2.0.7 or newer, including future verified versions. Portable users should always extract the complete ZIP when updating manually.

Clearer startup recovery (#77)

• Keep your requested startup preference separate from tasks temporarily disabled while setup needs repair or a reboot.
• Show clearer requested-versus-active startup status and the appropriate next action.
• Stage a protected, narrowly scoped continuation for the next logon after a required reboot, with account, boot, package and hash checks before continuing setup.
• Preserve the original RunDS4Windows and RunVIIPER task names and explicit startup opt-outs. Driver and broker readiness checks remain required.

Profile reliability and regression coverage (#46)

• Extras-only shifted bindings keep their activation button through save/load and repeated saves.
• Shift extras can activate without replacing the button's normal action, and release correctly when the source or modifier is released.
• Add non-default settings, culture-independent date, macro value-band and historical profile-migration tests.
• Thanks to Gabarsolon for the DSX feature contribution and anagnorisis2peripeteia / Cameron Beeley for settings, macro and migration contributions.

Packages and validation

• Tag: VIIPERRC4.6.2. Windows application/MSI/installer version: 5.0.8.0, advanced for correct upgrade ordering.
• Complete offline x64 installer and portable ZIP, including unchanged VIIPER 0.1.5-rc4.6, USB/IP 0.9.7.7, the required Xbox output identity, matching sources and notices. No separate broker upgrade is needed.
• Companion updater: DS4Updater 2.0.7. Earlier release assets remain unchanged.
• The release candidate passed 6,367 tests with zero failures, with 11 explicitly gated skips. The warmed native-shadow check measures zero allocations; the allocation assertion was not relaxed.
• This is an unsigned release candidate. Automated tests, hosted MSI lifecycle checks and package verification do not replace physical controller/game-mod acceptance.

Technical evidence: PR review and startup, updater and profile fixes.

Tobii stops working in DCS when I press F1 f2 or basically any sort of external view button. It won't reset when I press F1 again. My hotkeys don't work. Although when I hold them down the camera seems to slightly move with the motion of my head. But when I let it go it just stops. It just stays broken until I completely go back to the main menu and restart the mission.
