PS5 Controller set up questions
Hi Group
I just recently bought a brand new PS5 dualsense controller to play with ETS 2, on my M1 Macbook Air, 8GB, 2020 laptop...

I have a couple of questions in this regard, I hope it is ok to ask here??

1: What is dualsense?

2: I see or saw on a video something about gyro.. Can I steer the truck using the moving of the PS5 controller?

3: At the moment I have the controller set to steer using the left joystick, left/right, and the up/down is used to look left/right.. As I found using the right joystick for left right a bit cumbersome.. Trying to find the right set up..

3.1.. I tested this, and found that I could not move the external camera on the 9 button on the keyboard, if I used the right joystick for look left/right, the external camera on button 9 works.. strange...

4: Is there a marketplace, download section for already mapped out controllers such as the PS5 dualsense??

5: Is there a map of the names of the keys in ETS2? In the setup in-game, it calls them joy, hat, etc... It would be just perfect if there was a map of buttons to names.

6: Acceleration and braking, I have mapped to L2-brakes, R2-throttle, just not sure about settings, how much for each?

7: The "trackpad" the flat square-ish thing by the tiny 2 white buttons, is this used in ETS2? If yes, what???

8: Forcefeed back.. Is this working, as in 1 mission I had loads of vibration in the controller, but now, nothing.. Not sure if this is due to steam input enabled.

9: Steam inputs.. Do I enable, or disable Steam inputs?? Seems confusion...

Thanks

1. Read about it on Sonys website.

2. No

3. ?

3.1. Not really.

4. No

5. There is not.

6. Up to you.

7. No

8. Try disable Steam input. It is not needed with an XBox Controller since SCS changed to whole controller setup in the game.

9. Should be disabled for ETS2.
Oh, very brief..disappointing to be honest..

Well - put in some effort yourself. Others can’t tell you what settings feels right for you. Dualsense is explained on Sonys website. You can also Google it - it’s right there at the top results.
Your other questions have been answered. 👍🏻

Also - your PS5 controller is designed for use with the PS5. Even though it is possible to use it on a PC you won’t get full use or compatibility.

Seems their is no default button mapping for PS(5) Contoller(?), but the Xbox Controller has a great mapping from SCS imho!
I recommend to search for Xbox and PS Controller mappings and compare them.
Maybe you like the Xbox default mapping and port it to your settings! HF
