Работает со всем — с играми, музыкой, видео.
Мало кто на этом сайте не слышал про DualSense, но те кто смогли добыть его и подключить к ПК заметили, что новая обратная отдача (хаптик) на ПК не работает. По крайней мере, у меня не работала, но это можно исправить.
Для начала подключим геймпад по проводу (через Bluetooth не получится, потому что Sony использует для звука свой протокол) откроем аудиоустройства в системе и выберем там Wireless Controller (то есть DualSense) и нажмите на «Настроить». Возьмите геймпад в руки и в появившемся окошке нажмите на Тест. Круто, да?
Закройте это окошко, но оставьте с аудиоустройствами, туда мы ещё вернёмся. А теперь нам понадобится утилита VoiceMeeter. Устанавливаем, перезагружаемся, запускаем. У меня на запуске было сообщение о «плохих аудиодрайверах», но после нажатия на ОК поломок замечено не было.
Теперь вернёмся к окошку с аудиоустройствами и выбираем там VoiceMeeter Input в качестве устройства вывода по умолчанию. Возвращаемся к VoiceMeeter и нажимаем на А1 и выбираем там наш Wireless Controller, точнее ММЕ Wireless Controller. Теперь нажимаем на А2 и выбираем там устройство где будем слушать (если слушать будем через миниджек геймпада, то выбираем Wireless Controller ещё раз). Осталось только нажать на Stereo Repeat под кнопками А1 и А2 (на скриншоте выше она уже нажата). Попробуйте теперь включить какую-нибудь музыку или ролик, если вы всё сделали правильно, то теперь DualSense должен вибрировать в такт любому играющему в системе звуку.
Если звук как из бочки, как получилось у меня, то в А1 и А2 вместо ММЕ выберите те же устройства но с припиской WDM или KS. Иногда звук после настройки может отвалиться, тогда ещё раз выберете те же аудиоустройства в А1 и А2.
Минус — системная регулировка громкости перестаёт работать, теперь громкость настраивается только ползунком справа от нажатой нами кнопкой Stereo Repeat. Он же регулирует интенсивность, с которой вибрирует геймпад. Единственное, что я могу предложить в этой ситуации — использовать колонки/наушники с независимой регулировкой громкости, в моём случае это гарнитура Playstation Gold.
Теперь у нас всё готово, запускаем Steam или ds4windows и играем. В моём случае подопытными были Приключения Капитана Блада и эмулятор PS1 с Gran Turismo 2 — в обоих случаях работало и ощущалось отлично. На The Only Thing They Fear Is You тоже неплохо ( ° ʖ °).
Курки это, конечно, не включает, да и работает не совсем как на PS5, но тоже неплохо.

Long story short: If you have any DualShock or DualShock 2 or other 3rd party similar controllers and using them to play games on Windows, here how you can enable the rumble / vibration function so for supported games, you will feel the rumble effects.
Check the steps below.
Here’s how to enable Vibration function for your DualShock controller on Windows PC
1) Plug the DualShock controller to Windows PC
If you are using the original PlayStation / PlayStation 2 DualShock controller, you must use dualshock to USB adapter, however if you are using any third party / chinese-made dualshock controller, most of them have USB port already, so you just need to plug the controller to your Windows PC.
2) Download and Install DualShock Driver for Windows
Well, technically it’s not really a driver as in Windows driver, but it’s a piece of software that enables MFi controller to work on Windows. It maps the MFi controller to be another controller supported by Windows (Eg: Xbox 360 controller).
The generic Windows driver will just recognize the DualShock controller as a normal gamepad, you need to use this specific DualShock Windows driver to enable the vibration function.
Here’s the download link:
Download the “VID_0810&PID_0001 Twin USB Gamepad 64Bit Setup.rar” file and unzip it, inside you’ll find “VID_0810&PID_0001 Twin USB Gamepad 64Bit Setup2.exe”. Double click to start installing. After installation, you won’t see any icon created anywhere, since this is just installing driver for you.
3) Download X360CE
X360CE is short for “Xbox 360 Controller Emulator”. X360CE is community-build small application that allows your controller to function as Xbox 360 controller. Long story short, Xbox 360 controller was one of many controllers that Microsoft officially supported on its Windows platform which has many game developers support for it, so the idea by using this small application is to turning your generic Bluetooth controller (which some games may not recognize) into a Xbox 360 controller (that most if-not-all Windows controller-compatible games recognize).
Here’s where you can download X360CE:
Download the “Download – x360ce.zip” file and unzip it, inside you’ll find “x360ce.exe”.
4) Setup X360CE and map your DualShock controller
X360CE allows you to customize the controller and buttons mappings and save it for either generic purpose or game specific. On the steps below, I’ll show you how to setup a generic one. You, however, free to customize it for each and every game titles you have.
To set it up and map the controller buttons, do the following steps:
a) Double click on “x360ce.exe”. When prompted by Windows, select allow to run.
b) On the x360ce interface, assuming you are setting up for Player 1, go to “Controller 1” tab and click on “+ Add…” button to add your controller (ensure your controller has been paired and connected to Windows). Select the controller from the list available and click on “Add Selected Device”. In case you can’t see your controller, go back to step 1) Plug the DualShock controller to Windows PC, ensure you have plugged it successfully.
c) Once the controller has been selected, the controller will appear under “Controller 1” tab. Start mapping your controller to the Xbox 360 controller. The easiest way to do this that I recommend – especially if this is your first time using the X360CE – is by clicking on each button on the Xbox 360 controller image shown on the X360CE, then press the corresponding button on your controller.
d) Once mapping is done, then go to “Force Feedback” tab. Tick “Enable” Force Feedback. Then at the bottom, there’s 2 section: Left Motor and Right Motor. On each section, change the “Test” slider from 0% to 100% to test the vibration function on the controller. If you do all the steps above correctly, you should feel the vibration.
e) Once done with buttons mapping and Force Feedback, click “Save All” button (located on top right of the X360CE).
f) Once saved, do NOT close the X360CE software. Let it run, by minimizing its window while you are starting your game.
Bring it all together

Why Do PS4 Controllers Have a Vibration Feature?

One of the two controller motors is heavier, making the vibration more intense. However, the vibration strength still depends on the game move or issue being highlighted.

Meanwhile, errors with PS4 controller vibration apps can be solved by updating or subscribing to their packages if you want advanced PS4 vibration control.
Note: You can also contact PS4 support to help you make your PS4 controller vibrate.
How to Test for Vibration on Your PS4 Controller
Assuming that your DualShock4 has vibration issues and you brought it to a repair center, you can test the console or use Windows to check if the feature works.
These are the steps to test your PS4 controller’s vibration feature:
Method 1. Use PS4 Controller’s Buttons
You can test your PS4 controller by pressing the O button on the gamepad. The command activates the controller’s vibration diagnostic function. You also get to know its status as relayed by the console.
If your controller’s vibration is faulty or not vibrating at all, make sure to contact PlayStation customer support.

Another method to check for PS4 controller vibration is via a vibration test app. One of the most famous examples of this app today is the Gamepad Tester, which is accessible via any computer operating system.

Step 1. Go to the Gamepad Tester website.
-
Step 2. Connect the controller with a USB cable.
-
Step 3. Press any of the controller buttons.
Avoid touching the analog sticks, as you must test the DualShock4 buttons’ vibration. The button you are pressing will initiate a change in the codes displayed on the Gamepad Tester. A working or properly vibrating button will move from the code “0.00” to “1.00.”
-
Step 4. Move the “Analog Sticks”
-
Step 5. Observe the “Axis” section.
The respective numbers should reach “-1.00.” Any other result means the controller has an issue that causes it not to vibrate or work at all. However, some jittering from their center is not that bad, though you can have it fixed if it’s affecting your gameplay.
