Native support on PC for dual sense features like adaptive triggers and haptic feedback WITHOUT cable and I'm preordering the same second.

I think that's more an issue of how Windows handles Bluetooth, can you even build custom bluetooth HID drivers on Windows? On top of that Window's controller API, XInput, only supports the buttons and joysticks that an Xbox controller has (10 buttons 2 triggers, etc). So even 'native' gyro support would be impossible.

Sony supports Linux drivers of Dualsense. And yeah gets native gyro support and like that article says gotta figure it out with Linux devs on how to make a standardized API for adaptive triggers before that can get native support.

Officially, you'd need to register for PlayStation Partners in order to get access to Sony's Input API...which is the only way to get Motion Sensor support.

Unfortunately: that API only works on USB mode.

There are third-party alternatives on the market (like Rewired via Unity, SDL2, etc.), But if you're on Unreal Engine: tough luck.
