A Reddit user has created a wireless receiver for the PS5 controller that activates adaptive triggers and haptic feedback on PC. Sony does not offer official support for these features via Bluetooth, limiting the experience to using the controller wired. The solution is inexpensive and uses open-source hardware and software.
Raspberry Pi Pico 2W: the receiver Sony never made 🎮
The process uses a Raspberry Pi Pico 2W (around 17 euros) and a free firmware called awalol, available on GitHub. You connect the board to the PC with the BOOTSEL button pressed, it appears as a storage unit, and you drag the .UF2 file. Upon restarting, Windows recognizes the controller as if it were connected via cable, activating all native DualSense features. The creator, SlaveKnightSoman, published the tutorial on Reddit.
Sony, take note: they've stolen your idea for 17 euros 🔧
While Sony doesn't release an official dongle that costs double or triple, a user with a 17-euro board and free firmware has solved the problem. Now anyone can play wirelessly with triggers that resist as if they had a life of their own. The best part is you don't need to be an engineer: just drag a file and you're done.
