PS5 controller use with Steamdeck - Lemmy.World

Hello all - new Steamdeck owner here. I also own a PS5 and had been wanting to stream to my deck. I learned about Chiaki4deck and did the install this weekend and was up and running playing games within a few minutes. However, I am still having a few issues getting the Touchpad on my PS5 controller to work right. The controller works fine with that one exception. I have a few games that really utilize the pad - is there something that can be done on the Deck side help with compatibility?

Make sure your controller’s firmware is updated. I’ve seen a fair number of complaints about getting a DualSense working outside of a PS5 where the owner never updated the controller.
Can the controller be updated without a PS5?
yeah sony has an app for window
