Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense controller works on Android and PC

Date:

PCs and Android devices strongly support many peripherals such as Xbox and Stadia controllers. If you’re wondering if Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 5 DualSense controller is included, the answer is yes. In most cases.

thanks to Austin Evans on YouTube, We have confirmed that the next generation controller can be connected to PC and Android. A detailed video of the DualSense controller’s hardware shows a clean texture design featuring small triangles, squares, circles, and crosses on the back. Evans shows that the controller works out of the box on the Surface Laptop. Connection (about 6:20 in the video).

Evans can also wirelessly connect the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller to his controller. Google Pixel 5 Via Bluetooth (about 6:50 in the video), and he plays Microsoft streaming games Xbox game streaming.. Bluetooth compatibility can be confusing on Android, especially when it comes to latency and key mapping, so it’s useful to know that it works. However, there are some caveats. This meant that when the controller was connected to a PC and Android device, Evans couldn’t experience the controller’s new features such as tactile feedback and adaptive triggers.

He also tried connecting the PS5 DualSense controller to other devices such as the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox Series X, but couldn’t get the controller to do much. Neither console recognizes button presses from the DualSense controller, but it may change in a future firmware update (although you can’t expect to add support to your Xbox).

Sony states that the PS5’s DualSense controller is only compatible with future consoles, but the video clearly shows otherwise. The PlayStation 5 will be available on November 12th, so it won’t be long before you can connect your DualSense controller to your Android device. After all, the best controller is what you have.
