Do gamers get the most out of PS5 and Xbox Series X | Yes? Some may say “I’m having fun!” And others may be angry, “I can’t believe it!” On the other hand, there may be some true PC gamers who say that it has nothing to do with me.
However, in reality, the number of game console controllers these days that can be used as PC controllers, such as the Xbox Wireless Controller, is increasing, so this is a relevant enough story. This time, I targeted the PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller and the Xbox Series X Wireless Controller | S Xbox, and I tried to see how it feels at launch in a wired environment.

“Microsoft Flight Simulator” (Asobo Studio, 2020)
Dual Sense does not have an official controller at launch Difficult to use every day
Let’s start with Dual Sense. DualSense has been redesigned while inheriting DUALSHOCK 4 as a basic element as a game controller. New built-in tricks like haptic feedback and adaptive trigger on the slightly longer grip part. Furthermore, it is the newest generation of game controllers currently equipped with a microphone as standard equipment and a headphone terminal. If you can use these features at full capacity, you can say that 7,678 yen (excluding tax) is exceptionally cheap. However, the only compatible hardware listed in the package is “PlayStation 5”. I can’t complain even if it doesn’t work on my PC.
PS5 “Dual Sense” standard controller
A separate USB Type-C (A to C) cable is required for connection
The DualSense package is simpler than the PS5 itself. There is only a DualSense head unit and a simple manual. Yes, there is no connecting cable. However, in the case of PS5, a USB Type-C (A to C) cable is included as a Dual Sense charging cable on the side of the PS5 head unit, so that PS5 owners can use it. PC gamers without a PS5 will need a separate USB Type-C (A to C) cable to connect and charge, so be careful.
When I diverted the PS5 cable and connected it to the PC, I recognized it quickly. As a device, it is a general purpose “wireless controller” and is not recognized as Dual Sense because there is no official controller yet. You can’t wait long when this happens.
However, I was surprised to see the properties of the USB game controller. It is recognized as the largest “15-button controller” ever by the author. Not only the button function of the PS button and the touch pad, but also the newly installed microphone button is recognized as a button. Compared to the Xbox Wireless Controller, which can be said to be the standard 10-button PC gaming controller, the potential is quite high.

Recognize as wireless controller
Recognized as a 15 button mouse
When I plugged it in right away, at the level where it barely works as an input device for PC, the key binding did not work well even with the USB game controller setup on the Windows 10 side, so I tried “Ori And The Will of The Wisps “first Although I was able to operate the character with the left analog stick and the jump operation with the □ button, it was not correctly recognized as a game controller and I was unable to change the key settings.

Controller setup screen designed to work with the Xbox Wireless Controller in the first place
It is possible to perform basic operations such as moving characters and jumping
I also tried it with “Forza Horizon 4”, but it was announced that the game controller could not be recognized normally at startup. This is the screen I see for the first time. There are three options, “Move to operation”, “Next” and “Do not show message in future”, but no matter which one you select, you won’t be able to perform any operation after all. Naturally, the touch panel, microphone, headphone terminal, etc. They didn’t work, and it was a treasure.
The strange thing is that when you start “Forza Horizon 4”, the title screen is displayed and the haptic feedback starts to work. In words, it is a weak vibe like “jijijijijiji …”, but it is definitely working, and as if linked to the McLaren Senna movement on the title screen (not really linked), the feedback is given gradually. Change. It doesn’t matter if you can enjoy haptic feedback without PS5.
“Forza Horizon 4” issues a warning at startup
Even if I replace it with DualSense during startup, it doesn’t change from this screen
Currently DualSense on a PC seems to be possible for simple gaming using analog sticks and buttons depending on the title, but when the official controller is not supported, touch pads, microphones and a total of 15 buttons. It is difficult to make effective use of individual functions, and at this point it can be concluded that they are “almost useless”. Since the DUALSHOCK era, using a PlayStation controller on a PC hasn’t been easy, but I definitely want to use DualSense on a PC with full specs. I’d like to wait for the official driver to show up.

We are waiting for the day when it is PC compatible!
Stable Xbox Series X Controller | S. However, it is a huge deduction that the essential share button does not work
Next, I would like to introduce the Xbox Series X controller | It’s made by Microsoft. The official name is “Xbox Wireless Controller” also for this generation, and since it is completely indistinguishable from the previous generation, in this document it is called Xbox Series X | S Controller.
[Mando inalámbrico Xbox]
Xbox Series X standard controller | S “Xbox Wireless Controller.” This shock blue was awaiting arrival in a color limited to a single release.
The “Xbox Wireless Controller” has supported PC connections since the previous generation Xbox 360 era, and of course the Xbox Series X Controller | S has also announced support from the early stages.
The Xbox Series X Controller | S is a revamped model that incorporates the good parts of the high-end Xbox Elite game controller, which is a high-end model, while almost inheriting the functions and design of the Xbox One controller.
However, there are always some hostile parts and it cannot be said that it is easy to use for everyone. There are two steps before you start using this time as well. One is to update the dedicated application of the Xbox Wireless Controller “Xbox Accessories” from the Microsoft Store. If it is not installed, please search the store and install it.
When the update is complete, “Xbox Accessories” will be compatible with the Xbox Series X Controller | Yes, so start the application in that state and connect the Xbox Series X controller | Yes to start the update, this is the second step They will be.

This screen does not appear unless “Xbox accessories” are updated.
By the way, the Xbox Series X | S doesn’t come with a USB Type-C (A to C) cable in either the main unit package or the controller package, so you have to get it somewhere. I used the Type C (A to C) cable that came with the PS5 featured above.
This completes the setup, but when I check it again with “Xbox Accessories” the controller shown on the screen is definitely the Xbox Series X Controller | Yes, but it is configured as Xbox Series X | S Possible items are different. Specifically, I was unable to configure the share button.
I was concerned that the recognition on the USB game controller would still be “Controller (Xbox One for Windows)” even after the update, but I was concerned.

When I update the controller, it correctly recognizes it as an Xbox Series X controller | S …
There is no configuration item for the share button
Even in test mode the input is unresponsive and it can be seen that the controller itself does not support the share button

You can see there is a share button element
You can choose how to use the share button
In fact, I tried it with “Ori And The Will of The Wisps”, “Forza Horizon 4” and “Microsoft Flight Simulator”, but the operation is the same as the Xbox One controller I used so far, and the grip feeling is older. It’s even easier to operate, but it’s a shame the essential share button doesn’t work.
[Puedes jugar normalmente]
However, like the previous model, the headphone terminal works normally, the redesigned keyboard (cross key) and both triggers are definitely evolving, and users who are just looking for a PC game controller can be good as the first . But don’t forget to prepare the cable.
[No necesita un conector de expansión …]
The Xbox Series X Controller | S follows the Xbox One controller design from seven years ago, for better or for worse. The expansion connector is a connector for connecting a mini keyboard, etc., but does it have any use this time?

We are waiting for a driver update!
