What premium gift would you get for a Steam Deck lover who’s already well-equipped?

I have the Deckmate stuff by Mechanism, and I really like it - it’s basically a little bracket that attaches to the back that you can then attach accessories to, like a kickstand or gaming pillow. The gaming pillow is pretty neat - it was kind of a luxury purchase, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised

Starfield is coming to PlayStation 5 on April 7, enhanced for PlayStation 5 Pro, with a Visual mode that runs 4K resolution at 30 fps and a Performance mode that features improved visuals at 60 fps.

On top of that, in-game audio logs and non-local ship intercoms will pour through the DualSense controller speaker, immersing you deeper in the action. Starfield has also been visually enhanced for the PlayStation 5 Pro, with a Visual mode that runs 4K resolution at 30 fps and a Performance mode tha

PS5 controller makes playing feel difficult

I just bought the PlayStation five digital last week and I’ve been a long time Xbox player. The dual sense controller at least for me is a way better controller. It doesn’t take long to get used to it at all. If anything the dual sense is one of the biggest Wins of the console. It’s just awesome.

Testing PlayStation DualSense DIY Homebrew Dongle for P.C Gaming!

Since Sony PlayStation won't make an official dongle of their DualSense controllers for PC, so i made one for myself instead and it is fantastic! Thanks to Raspberry PI PICO 2W as well as the software that is developed by awalol, i don't have to deal with Bluetooth that has terrible latency whenever

Should I get a DS5 controller?

Same here. I’ve always been a PlayStation fan and not so much of an Xbox fan, but until this console generation, I think Xbox had the better controller. Prior generations of PS controllers were too small and light. But this time Sony really upped their game with the DualSense. Both in terms of the h

Sony Patents Controller With Deformable Buttons To Let You Twist, Pitch, And Feel Gameplay

I don't own a PlayStation so I unfortunately can't play Astro Bot, but the footstep haptics in FFXIV is some of the coolest stuff I've experienced with my DualSense controller. Incredibly immersive. I've also been playing Arkngiths: Endfield quite a lot since its release earlier this year, almost ex

Tried DualSense haptic feedback with Rift Apart, not fully convinced. Is Returnal a game changer?

As someone mentioned, the DualSense is a PlayStation controller. You get the full package if you use it with a PlayStation 5 or 5 Pro.

Received the steam controller today, kind of disappointed in the ergonomics.

Indeed. Completely a preference thing and what actually fits your hands. PS5 was my first PlayStation but the dual sense just felt great to me right away even though I had mostly used an Xbox controller previously.

Full Dualsense features (adaptive triggers, haptics, gyro) over Moonlight, without Sunshine emulating a controller

Thanks mate! Now that I learned about the Pico dongle from the community, the whole concept makes much more sense. Using a Pico 2 with the DS5Dongle firmware essentially turns the DualSense into a native wireless USB bridge instead of relying on standard Bluetooth passthrough or emulation. So for Ap

Jump shooting (ps5)

I’ve been using a scuff controller for a very long time until the dual sense edge kind of came out. I scooped one up after my scuff controller was starting to wear down. And I like the dual sense edge much much more just customization wise. It’s a lot easier and better to do and having the profiles
