How to Use a PS5 Controller on Windows 10
Sony's DualSense controller for the PlayStation 5 can also work with Windows 10 and Steam, as long as you don't mind losing a few features (such as the adaptive triggers). You can also have the DualSense work with non-Steam games if you're willing to try out some third-party apps to help the controller connect.
Pairing Your PS5 Controller to a Windows 10 PC
You can pair your DualSense controller with either a USB cable or via Bluetooth. However, while connecting via Bluetooth is relatively easy, the controller's Bluetooth connection is not the best, so we highly recommend you connect the controller to your computer via USB.
To begin pairing, plug the USB cable into your computer and the top of the DualSense controller. Wait a few seconds for Windows to detect the controller—you'll know it worked if the controller's LED lights around the touchpad light up.
Next, you'll want to open the Control Panel on your Windows 10 PC and confirm whether your computer has identified the controller. To do that, press the Windows key, type "Control Panel," and then hit Enter to launch the Control Panel app.
From the Control Panel menu, click on "Devices and Printers."
Under "Devices," the DualSense controller will appear as a "Wireless Controller."
Before continuing to Steam, you'll want to check and see if Windows 10 has added the DualSense controller as an audio device—a common occurrence when first pairing the controller.
To check this, go to "Settings", click on "System", then on "Sound."
Next, click on "Manage Sound Devices".
On this screen, you'll likely see that the DualSense is both an input and output device.
Click on the device and choose disable for both instances, and Windows 10 will no longer default to the DualSense as an audio device.
