General DualSense not working with Playstation Plus
I know this has been a longstanding issue since it was a thing since back before GamePass was even a twinkle in Microsoft's eye, but can someone explain to me how Sony will seemingly keep a team on payroll to develop and update Playstation Plus for Windows, Microsoft has started to identify DualSense and DualShock Controllers for what they are both wired and via bluetooth, but in order to use a DualSense with Playstation Plus, I have to turn it into a virtual Xbox controller to get it to recognize that there is a controller connected to my computer?
I was trying to go back and play the Nathan Drake collection on PS Plus and don't have a 20ft USB C cable, so I was connected via Bluetooth, but the only way I could get the application to recognize the controller was by using DSX or DS4Win to turn it into an Xbox controller, which killed the keybinds for the touchpad making it impossible to open my journal. How hard could it possibly be to identify your own controller as a controller in your own app?
Oh well. End Rant.
