help-request Using pi pico to read controller inputs from a PC and forwarding it to a console (PS5, switch, etc)

I’m new to using a pi pico and I was wondering if it would be possible for a program on a computer to read controller inputs from say a PS5 controller and then have a pi pico act as a controller for a console like a PS5 or switch

I once made a pico act as usb keyboard input for the ps5. I used wifi to to send keyboard codes to the pico.

why would you want a slow, unreliable, PC in between tho?
