Firmware that turns a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W into a wireless Bluetooth dongle for the DualSense (PS5) controller, making it appear as a wired USB connection on a host. It supports HD haptics, headset audio output, and microphone input over the bridge.

Use cases

  • use a DualSense controller wirelessly on a PC without official Sony adapter
  • get HD haptic feedback over Bluetooth on unsupported platforms
  • use the DualSense headset jack and mic as a USB audio device
  • build a DIY wireless controller adapter with a Pico 2 W
  • pair and manage controllers without unplugging the dongle

When to choose

  • you own a Pico 2 W and want a cheap official-adapter alternative
  • you need full DualSense features like haptics and audio on hosts with poor Bluetooth support

When to avoid

  • you need a plug-and-play commercial product with support
  • your host board is not a Pico 2 W or compatible RP2350 board
