DualSense Controller on PC works as a go-to microphone and speaker

The DualSense Controller on PC works as a go-to microphone and speaker, and the potential for this is limitless on the PC gaming space.

[Intentions]

Lol nope, I'm good. I'll just keep using my current headset

[SegaGamer]

I don't know why you are getting downvotes. Nobody that plays on PC is going to use the dualsense controller as a speaker and microphone.

[SyntheticForm]

He's getting downvotes because he cast aside the notion of using a controller speaker in lieu of a damn headset, which is vastly superior in every way to a controller speaker.

This makes perfect sense, but this is how sensitive fanboys are.

[generic-user-name]

And nobody is expecting them to. Sony themselves say its no replacement for a gaming headset while playing on PS5. It's benefits will be when you want to send a quick voice message or dictate speech to text.

[SegaGamer]

@Zeroblue2

So you are going to use that tiny speaker on a controller over your tv / monitors speakers or speakers you plug into your pc?........I don't believe you. Why would anybody do this?

[SegaGamer]

@SyntheticForm

It's not just inferior to a headset, but actual speakers you can buy and plug into your pc too😂

It makes me laugh how far people will go with their fanboying.

[Wrex369]

He's not worshipping PlayStation so the votes come lmao

[Profchaos]

Don't look at them as doenvotes or likes on n4g they are disagree and agree.

I didn't disagree or agree with him I saw the statement didn't feel for or against it.

[frostypants]

Imagine arguing over this.

[gamer7804]

If it’s not pro Sony it gets downvotes here, just comes with the territory. Better off investing in a headset but a lot of casuals will still probably use the controller to talk unfortunately.

[spdarksky]

Why would PC Players be using DualSense as a speaker and mic? It will just sounded awful. Better just stick with headset, for connectivity PC players can already do that on their xbox controller where most of pc players already had in their arsenal.

[Michiel1989]

I wish MS finally buried the hatchet for this and let me use ps controllers on windows without additional software, its pathetic really.

[KRUSSIDULL]

That not on MS table but on Sony to update and release drivers for their hardware to run properly on Windows.

[Michiel1989]

my bad, odd that Sony hasn't released any drivers for it then. I don't see any downside to providing them, only positives.

[runner4life]

Ds4windows 👌👌👌 as good as anything that Sony could make.

[Teflon02]

HUH lmao. NAWWWWW. I can confirm it's on MS. You can use a PS4 control to do everything on PC but play games. MS blocks the damn controller. How I know this? if you have steam open and you run something without the ps4 control support, you can still get functions to work even if wrong. You play a game through the MS store and the controller is completely disabled and it's not a coincidence. I can Turn off the DS4 support in steam and Cuphead will still read the PS4 control and work, I actually turn off the DS4 support in steams settings for any game that supports it and can identify it as a different control because the PC has drivers for it. Sony even specified at the beginning of the PS4 gen that the DS4 has PC support. I can use on anything gaming related but the MS store games.

[Inverno]

Software would be needed, what shouldn't be so additional hardware like the adapter. Which is why I use that DS4 driver software. Let's ya use it wirelessly too, and play around with the lightbar

[Michiel1989]

if you have bluetooth on ur motherboard or something u dont need any hardware as far as im aware. I used a dongle if i wanted wireless and the cable the consoles came with to connect them to the pc for wired, i dont consider that additional hardware.

[Teflon02]

Yup I actually connect my DS4 to PC wirelessly through blue tooth and it works like it would on PS4. Just tap the power on the control and it's instantly connected. This is even with all programs like steam closed.

[Inverno]

Ah, I thought the adapter was needed for windows to recognize the DS4

[GOULDYBOBS]

Most games won't pick up the controller. Can be fixed with software called DS4Windows

[VJGenova]

They patched that ages ago. Steam games are a bit, finicky. Dark Souls 3 for instance use the axis in the DS4 as a mouse. I had to use DS4 to emulate an Xbox controller. That said, Xbox, Uplay and Epic all support the PS4 natively now.

[Bigman4k]

I just hope I can used my ps5 controller to play both playstation 5 & 4 games on ps5 because I think read somewhere you need a D4 controller to ps4 games on the ps5

[ThereGoThatManQ]

lol just no

[Bigman4k]

Didn't DBZ super end back in 2017 🤭

[ThereGoThatManQ]

Nice comeback.....

Big man lol

[boing1]

You don't need ds4.

[Bigman4k]

How would you know because to play vr games on ps5 you need the vr,ps4 camera,and camera adapter

[boing1]

Because I know.

[ziggurcat]

"... I think read somewhere you need a D4 controller to ps4 games on the ps5"

No.

[Bigman4k]

Quote: use a DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller when playing PS4 games and PS VR games on a PS5 console.

[Bigman4k]

You should've said no to that profile pic 🤣🤭

[ziggurcat]

You can use a DuelSense to play PS4 titles on PS5 as well, so you don’t need a DS4.

[Christopher]

Considering you can use DualSense on PS4, that would be really stupid. But, it's also just not true.

[DivineHand125]

How do you use dual sense on PS4 because I've been looking around youtube and found that it can work on ps3 but not on ps4 unless you use remote play via a pc?

[Teflon02]

LMAO Divine, there's people using it straight out the box on PS4. The first unboxing of the control where they did a tear down and snapped the top by accident showed the man playing on PS4 with it lmao. Sony also specified it works on PS4 lol

[Mr Logic]

That only applies to VR games.

[Bigman4k]

These comments 😄

[DJStotty]

"I think read somewhere you need a D4 controller to ps4 games on the ps5"

No the DS5 can be used for PS4/5 games on the PS5

You can not use the DS4 to play PS5 games on the PS5. (think this is what you were referring to)

[Bigman4k]

😂

[Inverno]

DS4 also acts like a speaker but I've never been able to make any noise play through it

[Mr Logic]

You plugged headphones into the controller right...?

[Inverno]

Never really thought to while connecting to my laptop tbh. Figured noise would go through to speaker on the controller but now I guess headphones would make more sense lol

[TheColbertinator]

Maybe I should get one if certain PC games support haptic feedback

[Mr Logic]

Don't count on it. Only a handful of PC games ever supported the X1 controller triggers and that's basically a 1st party accessory.

[Flewid638]

I only play my PC games with a Dualshock so this will be a nice upgrade.
