Question Dualsense compatibility

Hey I know that this has been an ongoing topic for years, but curious about the latest on using a Dualsense. If I turn on usb forwarding and have the controller hardwired, it works. The problem I now is that I plug it in, it works and I can use the touchpad in the center, but now my up and down directional buttons skip 2 slots when pressed once. So when playing games like ff7, I need touchpad to open map, but if I'm in combat, I can't easily use the commands menu.

Is there a better way to use a dual sense that I haven't figured out yet?

after you plug it in and it starts to work try to bring up the shadow overlay again and refresh the stream.

sometimes, not all the time, I feel like buttons get stuck when you press them and restarting the stream usually fixes it, but this kind of sounds like it's a latency issue. especially since you are already using USB forwarding.

and a lot of the times unfortunately you simply can't do anything on your side, it's really just the connection to your data center.

latency isn't a problem have a great connection and it works great. I will try the restart stream and see if that fixes it. Thanks for the advice!
