It's been long enough that I'm sure someone besides me has shelled out the $200 for a DS5+, since it's a bluetooth controller with a touchpad and grip paddle buttons. Is it worth it?

Edit: To clarify, I own a Dualsense, but I'm lusting after the Dualsense Edge revision.

I use DS on my PC and love it. I find XBOX controllers too loud and feeling cheap. Haven't hooked mine to Steam Deck, since it's the deck I hold in my hands already...

Are you planning to use a secondary controller and play on a deck screen, or hook it up to a monitor? (Just curious)

I use my deck with the living room television, yes. Have you used the Dualsense Edge? Or the original Dualsense?

[–] QubaXR 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Awwww, the original. I forgot edge exists. Now your idea makes way more sense!

Steam Input does support capturing the "mute" button from the Dualsense, by the way -- by default it's just used as a screenshot button, but I believe you can re-bind it. But yeah, I got excited when I heard they also capture the paddles from the Dualsense Edge and the Xbox Elite.
