Hi everyone! So, Silksong released, and so my dualsense has decided now is the time to not work.
It boots up fine and all but communication between the controller and my PC seems to not work, it connects shortly, but no input works, and then it disconnects again. Restarting my PC didn’t help, and the only other issues I find are all from 2023 when it was about bluez version. The Dualsense has already worked in 2025, so I guess that wouldn’t be it.
Installed dualsensectl and that can’t find the dualsense while my PC’s bluetooth can. Is anybody else experiencing this?
I’d like to give more information but I’m genuinely not sure what’s relevant, so please ask me for whatever you need
Are you connecting through bluetooth primarily. I just plugged mine in and fired up steam and seems to be working fine.
Edit: Also tried with bluetooth. Had to unpair and repair the controller. Furthermore whenever I pair the controller. It always cuts off in the middle of the processs for some reason, but that doesn’t mean that the pairing failed. Turning the controller back on instantly connected it and I was able to play on steam just fine.
I want to connect via Bluetooth because I fear for the battery life if I constantly charge it.
With Bluetooth, it pairs/connects according to my PC, but doesn’t react at all to inputs and then disconnects. Going into pair mode does not connect or pair it, and removing and readding the device didn’t help ://
The only change I’ve ever made to the bluetooth config file was uncommenting Experimental and setting it to true under the General section in the file. Maybe that has something to do with why it is working for me?
