[Bug]: DualSense PS5 controller detected as XInput Controller on Steam

[ansoncsau]

Description

My DualSense controller is detected as an Xbox contoller. It works fine. But the Steam UI and games show Xbox glyphs and revert LT and LB, RT and RB everywhere.

Although I tried to override the Wireless Controller in Connected (xinput device) section in Whisky Control Panel to make Steam detect the controller as a PS5 controller and remap all the buttons, it works in Steam big picture mode, the games (Cyberpunk 2077 and Eurotruck) don't detect the controller.

Steps to reproduce

Connect my DualSense controller via Bluetooth and open Steam Go to Steam Settings/ Controller, see XInput Controller as the controller name

Expected behaviour

Steam should detect the controller as DualSense Controller, just like my native Mac Steam does

Yes, it's quite annoying.

this is most likely due to wine translating all controller input into a generic xinput controller, rather than passing the direct controller to steam. is this correct @IsaacMarovitz ?

[hahayupgit]

additionally, using the non-xinput controller is likely due to how macos handles controller input. i've personally had a terrible time with that, as i can't even use my xbox series controller in games like stardew valley native. controller works fine in the steam menus, but doesn't work at all in "supported" games. i'm willing to bet that same issue is happening through wine when not translated.
