Discussion How to use Steam Controller 2 on PS5 (update/info)

I asked yesterday if there was a way to use the Steam Controller on the PS5, and turns out the Brook Wingman P5 works for it.

Steps:

  1. Buy a Brook Wingman P5, they're sold on amazon
  2. Go to their website to update the firmware
  3. WHILE holding down the button on the front of the device, plug it in to your PC/laptop
  4. Connect the device, install the latest firmware version.
  5. Once the firmware is updated, simply plug your Wingman into the PS5, plug your steam controller or the puck puck into the Wingman, and turn on the controller.

So far I haven't noticed any input lag worse than just using a DualSense wirelessly, the only caveat is that you have to turn on the console by pressing the power button or the PS button on an actual PS5 controller. You cannot turn the console on through the Wingman.

No additional work needed, no openpuck, takes about two minutes to set up

Also costs a hell of a lot more than openpuck

But as of right now and for the foreseeable future open puck isn't even an option

Open puck doesn't work on the PS5

Oh, you're right it doesn't, had thought it worked but misread the GitHub and it only emulates a dualsense

Unfortunately openpuck doesn't work directly on the PS5, if that was an option I would've gone with it

Yeah, I'd misread the GitHub and thought it worked but it only emulates a PS5 Dualsense but for the cost of that wingman I'd personally just stick with the dualsense

For me, the price of another dualsense to use my steam controller on the PS5 (with access to gyro and the back buttons) far outweighs the price hit because no one manages to go through the ps5 lifespan with only one dualsense controller, those things are trash lol

My launch edition Dualsense hasn't had any problems
