DSX

lit

IF your're having connectivity/compatibility issues even after installing the software please,
STOP blaming the app, the tools ARE there. I (and many others) are proof of this.

It works perfectly with adjustments and some knowledge. The whole reason this app was created is because of the complexities that exist using a lot of controllers on PC. If you expect to just plug & play, sure it can happen, but to remove all problems and have all-around compatibility, you WILL need to make some tweaks. Play with the software, run some trial and error, and as always; YouTube is your friend. The app is a gateway to solving the problems that vanilla controller usage creates.

Ds4 windows is free and works a lot better.

10$ for both works on the edge controler

I cant recommend the beta version of DSX only because of one bug. i want to be able to emulate and Xbox 360 controller and listen to headphones through the controller. Everytime i try to do this, the sound plays through the Dualsense controller speaker instead of my headphones even whether i plug em in before or after i start the app.

i no longer recommend the current version as it has a bug when i click the right stick down on my dualsense controller. when i press down, it will either work once then never again until i unplug my controller and replug it in. or it will constantly spam that right stick click down button, messing up my game. DSX could be good but it needs work

DSX is basically like an updated version of DS4Windows with some additional quality-of-life features. On paper, this sounds like a great idea, and for a while I enjoyed using it.

However, a recent beta update broke the software and created an annoying issue with sticky inputs and dropped inputs. Currently the only fix is disconnecting and reconnecting your controller, which you can imagine is quite annoying to do while trying to enjoy a game.

I really want to like and recommend DSX because I enjoy many of the features, but I simply can't recommend it until this issue is addressed.

Doesn't even work. Software is called "nefarious software", and if that doesn't tell you everything you need to know, what will? I mean, who names their company that?? Interferes with my controller and doesn't actually emulate a 360 controller, get DS4Windows for free instead of this paid garbage. Bloated, confusing ui, hard to work with, and oh - doesn't even work at all.

ds4windows does what i need and its free. no advantage for

this shi so ahh won’t let me launch the app because it can’t confirm my time and date on my pc and drivers randomly popping up to ask permission for updates in the middle of playing. Just use steam input it’s free

slow af, unresponsive after every click, there are free versions online, dont spend your hard earned money on this crap

Purchased the DLC and it worked fine and now it doesnt even show up anymore so I cant use it.

Kindly Remove The Word Kindly From The App, Thank You, Kindly

I have pressed my buttons 1 million times but was unable to unlock the achievement :(

Basically paid DS4Windows with extra steps, extra slow and longer launch, extra paywalled features.

This game is super cute but also not great for little ears/eyes... perfect for streaming! I love the cutesy vibe with the cult

Great app, very useful.

Easy to switch how the controller is recognised - Xbox, Dualshock or Dualsense, which is very handy for games like battlefield which only seem to work with an xbox controller.

Rumble and haptics pass through which actually translates the subtleties of rumble - unlike Steam which is either 1 or 0.

Custom adaptive triggers, ie. for racing games I will put a slight resistance on L2 & R2 to give me greater control of breaks and accelerator.

Yes you could just use Steam input or DS4Windows but if you have a Dualsense and use it as your primary controller (wirelessly) then this is a godsend and provides a much better experience.

very nice for emulating in games that only take either/or, i wouldn't really have anything to compare it to since i bought this immediately when i started usin a controller occasionally lmao

It's a good program, but the UI is an absolute mess. It's over produced and uses icons instead of words to represent things. How do I save? There is no save button! I gotta look around for the button that is the save button and hover over it and wait for it to say "save" to know I hit the right button!

There is also remapping support much like Steaminput and Xpadder, but once again the dev thought an overproduced and flashy UI is better than a utilitarian one. Pretty much UNUSABLE.

Easy way to make this program better

You gotta drop your ego and get a REAL UI going where I got a file menu and can just click "save" instead of seeing all of these buttons and icons representing functions.

I want to give this program a thmbs up, but until these problems are fixed ill be doing a down. When its fixed ill switch it to a up!

Хороший софт. Всё, что от него ожидал я получил. Еще и развивается постоянно.

very useful wish it didnt show up in amd software as a game but as a software it would be nice but the fact it works is stress relieving and with the dualsense emulation now its even better!

perfect way of using a dualsense on any gameand setting up a wide variety of trigger haptics and vibration presets

❌ This software is a scam and NOT worth $5.

I initially purchased DSX on Steam because I genuinely wanted to support the developers. I thought, "Wow, finally someone has created a program that allows native DualSense support on PC. Let's give them credit and pay for their work."

But after spending hours trying to make this work, I realized that it does absolutely NOTHING useful.

🔥 Key Issues:

You still see Xbox button prompts in every game (X, Y, A, B instead of ⭕🔺❌🔳).
DualSense Emulation is locked behind a DLC paywall after already paying for the software.
Even DualShock 4 emulation doesn’t work properly.
The "Use PlayStation Labels" option does NOTHING.
The software requires installing multiple external drivers and creates a mess on your system.
HIDHide and ViGEm Bus Drivers introduce more problems than they solve.
🎮 If you're buying this to get native PlayStation button prompts on PC, DON'T.
This is just an overpriced LED customization tool with a broken UI. The free GitHub version was abandoned, and now they charge for a version that doesn't work. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

🚨 I refunded it immediately. Save your money and avoid this at all costs.

removed Dualsense support and added it as a paid DLC? so I have to pay again to use the feature that I paid to use in the first place.. Super greedy devs. Don't recommend purcharsing this

I don't mean to be disrespectful but this app is just stupid and poorly made. It's overpriced, a bunch of features are locked behind a paid license paidwall, the software is slow and has compatibility and stability issues.

I recommend using the free and open source DS4Windows instead of this.

Great tool with a neat UI, not perfect but is being constantly updated. Audio to Haptics is awesome. Easy recommend for any Dualsense owner.

Definitely a must have if you use a DualSense controller for gaming.

I use it for emulating a DS4 and Xbox 360 controller on games that don't support the DualSense.

Неплохое приложение для вашего дуалсенса :) Реально неплохо, с последних версий v3 приложение неимоверно удобное и почти не лагает. Функционал весь есть, что тоже неплохо для настроек. Покупайте - не пожалеете (ну только если вам не пофиг на адаптивные курки и haptic, тогда там можно или старый DualSenseX или вообще DS4Windows)

100% does what it needs to but I think it goes too far into the UI design. It should be laid out more like GPU-Z where the main goal is to provide information and deliver a function. Nobody is really interested in fancy looking UI, it just needs to be functional.

Love this program. It runs perfectly and with the newest version is nearly perfect from Forza to GTA it just works. Worth every penny! if you are on the fence, just buy it. The DEVS are active and constantly improving its function and the controllers ability. I use it with a PS5 Controller and couldn't live without it.

Don't buy this paywalled trash. Yeah, I have a lot of hours in it, but honestly, that's just because I forget to close it.

I picked it up a few years ago since I liked the updated UI over DS4Windows and the DualSense options, but over time, the devs have gotten greedier and greedier. The icing on the cake? Charging for the fucking DualSense emulation.

Seriously, don’t buy this, just get it from GitHub. It is LITERALLY the only features you will ever realistically need. Nobody gives a fuck about being able to yoinky sploinky the triggers to make it SOMETIMES make it feel like I'm shooting a crossbow.

Can be used along with mods to add adaptive trigger and enhanced rumble to many games.
Its being constantly worked on and improved.
Must have for Dual Sense owners.

If you own a DualSense controller it's a pretty good program to have, I love to play with the GameCube triggers.
I think their are some free alternatives I didn't know about so look there first.
However, some mod devs make custom trigger loadouts for this program specifically though so it is worth it for that aspect.

Don't waste money this is a shit tool.Just use default steam input its work fine for most of the games

Great app if you're using a DualSense controller and want the adaptive trigger feature. There's also DS4Windows if you don't have a DualSense or have no use for the extra things. There's also some adaptive trigger mods for games that use this app to do it.

alot of options, emulation of xbox controller and more, worth the buy

the new update (3.1) very useful but a little confusing at first with the amount of customization it has.

This game deserve the Game of The Year Award, not the God If War: the father simulation !!!
Just play and enjoy, fr

Written in the .NET framework by a scummy developer so support for Linux is unlikely. While I was on windows, the promised 3.1 was the most buggy mess i'd ever dealt with. If on windows, just use DS4, don't use this.

Its good for games that don't have native dual sense support.

works perfectly. Helped me get the right symbols in Red dead redemption 2 for my ps5 controller because rockstar by default only uses xbox symbols! Worth every penny IMHO! And im sure it'll do the same for other games too.

Listen, I hate reviewing things, but here we are almost 2,000 hours in and this thing just keeps getting worse.

Paliverse's cash-grab "upgrade" moving DS functionality into a higher premium add-on when it used to be base app functionality was a trash move. This app used to be great, but now we're in a place where settings are just ignoring their selection after a steady decline in user experience since I purchased the original DSX, before the "upgrade" existed. I never, *ever* want to see this app on startup and it used to respect that setting, but the V3 "upgrade" hogs a huge chunk of my screen on every reboot.

The app is constantly dropping inputs, sometimes even in passthrough, though rare. The CPU resources needed to emulate controller functionality are either low-priority in scheduling (potentially a machine issue, but likely not) or horribly allocated (not my fault, but is causing input drops). I'm more inclined to believe the former, because controllers connected without the app running work without any issues, there's just no DS functionality.

Lastly, get that "kindly connect a controller..." language out of here. No. I will not, and I will not do it kindly next time I do because of how this app makes me want to behave: like a petulant teenager with a baseball bat. I don't know who on your design team worked in call centers or for how long, but it's offensive to be told to do something with the request of "kindly." Don't tell me what to do directly, just inform me that I need to connect a controller for the app to work. Less words, more clear, doesn't use uncomfortable language. Amazing. What a concept.

I bought your product, twice. Lots of people here did. Kindly pull your heads out of your asses.



(Edited to add dropped inputs complaint)

I changed a theme setting if I'm not mistaken, and now the application window is bugged, almost completely blank and everything is unreadable, I can't configure my control anymore.
I would really like to know if it's possible to fix this.
Or if it's possible to restore the application's default settings.
Please Help me

Application, Laggy, bugs, and buying the application only to have to pay again to support PS5 controller as "DLC" .. on top of that the community here Sucks.

amazing application, allows for so much customization and emulates with no input delay to pretty much every game

The external speaker of the controller cannot be turned off.
Need full control over external speaker volume otherwise this software is useless.

pros:
- App has support for DualSense
- It's relatively easy to use

cons:
- Horrendously slow to navigate
- No reason to use this over the fast, working DS4Windows
- Developers are not great people, they are traitors of open-source
- DLC for something that should come in such an expensive tool

essential if you have a dualsense edge controller and want to play on PC with full functionality

just fine, plz fix dualsense controller support game. tqvm

Haptic Feedback on the controller always goes out of sync with the audio and I have to refresh it every single time. It is quite annoying and not sure how I can keep it without going out of sync. There is free software version of this one which works just fine and I think this is just overpriced. This software cannot be used on multiple accounts and you have to buy them again and again which is horrible.
