## What it is
DualSenseX (DSX) is a Windows application that lets users connect a PS5 DualSense controller to their PC with support for Adaptive Triggers over USB or Bluetooth. It can emulate an Xbox 360 or DualShock 4 controller via the ViGEmBus driver so the DualSense works across Steam and other game platforms.

## Use cases
- use a ps5 dualsense controller on pc
- enable adaptive triggers on pc games
- emulate xbox 360 controller with dualsense
- emulate dualshock 4 on windows
- connect dualsense via bluetooth to pc
- get dualsense haptic feedback working on steam

## When to choose
- you want full DualSense features like adaptive triggers on Windows
- you need DualSense to appear as an Xbox 360 or DS4 controller for game compatibility
- you prefer a free community version over the paid Steam DSX app

## When to avoid
- you are not on Windows
- you want ongoing updates - the GitHub version is frozen at v1.4.9 and development moved to the paid Steam version
- you use a controller other than the DualSense/DualSense Edge
