I've had playstations for multiple console generations, but I just ordered an OLED Deck as my first ever "gaming PC". Forgive the naivety, but could non-supported titles potentially get Dualsense features modded in?
Steam Input will allow you to use a PS controller with any game (even ones that aren't made for a controller!)
However, if you mean adaptive triggers, haptic, etc. Then this page is what you want. It's a list of games with either native or modded support
Huge asterisk on any game, many don't work for me with an original Sony branded DS5, I end up having to use DSX way more than I would like.
Yeah, that's what steam input did, it emulates a controller on the fly, you can even emulate a keyboard and mouse in games that don't support controllers, I have a steam controller and in most fps I configured it to emulate a controller but with mouse look on the right touch pad and gyroscope on a light press on left trigger, unfortunately some games don't support simultaneous mouse and controller use, other games change UI when switching between mouse and controller, which may be annoying
Do you mean features like the haptic triggers?
Yeah, haptic triggers, high definition rumble, touch pad... things like that.
Touchpad always works, but the haptic triggers and rumble need you to be wired. They also only work in supported games like Spiderman. I remember needing to go into desktop mode to enable the controller's "speaker" for the rumble.
Adaptive triggers begin as a hardware feature. Steam Deck can't emulate that without changing the triggers out completely (if it's possible at all).
I imagine the internal motors for the crazy precise haptic feedback is also hardware level.
