Hey,

I recently made the jump to linux. I wanted to sart PC gaming and figured I would start as I mean to go on.

I am having an issue with getting my ps5 controller connected. Steam recognises it, everything mapped fine. I open pcsx2 and it thinks its a dualshock 2. I cannot get it to work in game. I have remapped and everything but when I get to a menu, the D pad will work but selecting an option won’t.

Any advice appreciated.

    You shouldn’t need to remap anything. And PCSX2 should be able to tell that it’s a DS5.

    Are you sure you’re not mixing up the actual controller with what PCSX2 is pretending the controller is, which by default is a DS2 (this can be set to other stuff that isn’t a DS2, like a guitar hero controller).

    To configure an input device, you’d go into the controller settings, of course. There are separate settings for controller 1 and 2. In the top right of either, there should be a drop down for assigning a device to be that controller. That’s where you select the DS5.

      Yes the top right was not showing it as an option. It showed mouse, keyboard and some SLI or three letter thing. Getting annoyed I just opened it without steam, directly into pcsx2 and it was now listed on that dropdown, and I was getting my ass kicked in MK in no time.
