Connecting a PS5 DualSense controller to your PC with DS4Windows takes a few extra steps compared to Steam's native support, but it unlocks compatibility with far more games. This guide covers the full install, the Steam setting you need to turn off first, and the fix for when DS4Windows doesn't detect a DualSense controller β€” the exact issue I ran into.

Note: the DS4Windows download page shown in this video (via Ryochan7's GitHub) is no longer available β€” that build was discontinued. The current maintained version is available directly from ds4-windows.com (linked below). The install and setup steps covered in this video are the same once you're on the download page.
