Hello all - new Steamdeck owner here. I also own a PS5 and had been wanting to stream to my deck.

I learned about Chiaki4deck and did the install this weekend and was up and running playing games within a few minutes. However, I am still having a few issues getting the Touchpad on my PS5 controller to work right.

The controller works fine with that one exception.

I have a few games that really utilize the pad - is there something that can be done on the Deck side help with compatibility?

Edit: just resolved the issue thanks to @[email protected]: the firmware on the controller I was trying to use had not been updated. Once I did the issue resolved itself.

Thanks all for the suggestions and help

Make sure your controller's firmware is updated. I've seen a fair number of complaints about getting a DualSense working outside of a PS5 where the owner never updated the controller.

That was it! The controller I was using needed a firmware update. I tried that and when I took it back to my SteamDeck, voila!

Can the controller be updated without a PS5?
