    I think it only works wired on PC (and obviously only on games that support it) but the triggers are insane. Steam input allows you to map dual actions to triggers for partial and full pulls, but consistently executing the right level without feedback isn’t trivial.

    There are PS5 games where there’s a clear break point with physical resistance at a half pull for one action, or you can pull through for a second action. On Horizon Forbidden West there’s a couple power attacks with the right trigger where you hold the trigger, and there’s a vibration sequence to indicate two different windows for a first or second different charged attack. You could obviously memorize the timing, and there are ways to do similar feedback with a less precise older “rumble” type vibration, but the way it’s executed in the game, specifically because of the precision of the vibration, is incredibly immersive. It’s very sci fi feeling feedback.

    The built in Astro’s Playroom also has some really cool tech demo type sequences showcasing the triggers in interesting ways.

      Huh, that sounds really cool!

      The only experience I have with anything like that is on the Razer Wolverine. It has toggles for both triggers that allows them to gradually go from 1-100 or instant 1-100. It’s an awesome feature and I love the “control” it gives me over my playstyles.

      Haven’t been in the PlayStation environment since I’ve grown up, but y’all are eating good lately!

      Not through steam, but I found a really cool add on type thing for ds4windows that configures the dualsense triggers to work and feel like the dual action gamecube triggers. It’s absolutely amazing when I’m emulating gamecube stuff to actually have the same triggers
