Can just use a controller on the computer, right?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

AFAIK you can. I haven't tried since I don't have a controller for my computer.

Your controller should work through steam input (or natively if you use Linux)

I can use a PS5 controller on Linux? Will it affect the PS5 sync when I go to use it there again?

[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I don't own a ps5, so I'm not 100% sure on the ps5 sync, but there shouldn't be any issue for that as Sony put out a firmware update to make it work well with pc at one point. But for me with my ps5 controller, it works and pairs flawlessly, and the touchpad on the controller works as a mouse on the desktop.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

No problem! Message me if you need any help, if you can't to that on Lemmy just mention me in a post or something idk

The PS5 controller doesn't work there?

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Does it? I haven't tried. When I tried to use a PS4 Pro controller in the past it messed it up and I had to reset it to use it with the console again. Can you use PS5 controllers with a Linux PC?

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Not sure, I know that you can in Windows.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah it plays well with the Steam Deck
