ds4 windows *HELP ME*

[mpowski]

i need help with a ds4 windows problem, i have a ps5 controller but it keeps showing up as an xbox one how do i get it back to normal

That "DS4Windows" is a program, is it not? An input mapper, to be exact.

THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM! DS4Windows is an input mapper. It takes complete ownership of the gamepad, hiding it from the rest of the system, presenting it as an XBox gamepad to the rest of the system. If you want the rest of the system (i.e. a game with native PS gamepad support) to see a PS gamepad, remove DS4Windows.

so the only solution is to delete ds4 i cant just pause the emulation when i dont want it ?

Try using Steam controller support for Steam stuff and don't load DS4windows. Use DS4windows for other platforms as needed.

Haven't used DS4windows for a few years myself. Got fed up having to unpair and re-pair all the time..

If you really want DS4windows the best I can suggest is have Steam closed, Load Ds4window, make sure Hida DS4windows is selected and then load Steam. Didn't always work for me hence why I gave up after having to mess around all the time

You can
1. Stop that program when you aren't using it
2. Switch to Steam which is able to detect when a game natively supports PS gamepads and gets out of the way if a game does, emulating an XBox gamepad if the game doesn't
