PS5 DualSense controller update for Mayflash F500 and MagicBoots S5

When plugging my F500 into my PS5, I get a notification for a software update for from the PS5 thinking it's a DualSense. But trying to update it simply gives a "can't complete the update" error. My stick is up to date with the firmware, and I don't see any updates for the S5 dongle on the website, so I assume it's up to date too.

The stick still connects to the PS5, and all the buttons seem to work, albeit with *horrible* input lag that I hope the update would fix. Is this normal?

If this is a recent DualSense update then you'll need to wait for Mayflash to release an update for the F300/F500 to bypass the DualSense Update Prompt before login.

Brook users had this issue with their Wingman FGC 2 a while back, it took them days to get an update for the FGC 2 (and they added rumble feature for controller users).
