PS5 DualSense Not Working On PC? Here is how to fix it, both wired and over Bluetooth, and get it recognized.
Windows 10 and 11 recognize the DualSense natively over USB-C and Bluetooth, but games often will not read it until Steam Input is turned on, and Bluetooth pairing can fail when the PC Bluetooth driver is corrupt or incompatible. After this you will have a controller that is detected and working in your games, connected wired or wireless, with the right Steam setting enabled.
