The PS5 DualSense is definitely the second-best choice if you can't get a Steam controller. It has comparable features, although I personally feel like the touchpads are placed in suboptimal position compared to the Steam controller. It also has comparable build quality, unlike Microsoft's various iterations of Xbox controllers that all have absolutely disastrous build quality.

I'm a huge fan of the Dual Sense. Best haptics I've ever felt, awesome triggers, etc. That said, the track pad on it isn't at all comparable to the ones on the Deck (and I'm guessing this new controller). Even if games *did* let you bind it to anything and use it as a mouse for FPS games (it doesn't), the size and placement is super awkward for that use

Why PS5? why not any of the other good controllers out there. https://gamepadla.com/ We all know the "trackpad" on the ps5 controller is not really the same at all. Potentiometers for joysticks are unheard of in high quality controllers these days- everybody is using Hall Effect or TMR. It's not like games really make use of touch controls these days, at least not the ones releasing on PC with high popularity like Crimson Desert. PS5 controller specific, there is no dongle. You're stuck wired or bluetooth. Bluetooth is generally the worst for latency on any controller, and aside from a couple of very specific models with very low bluetooth latency it's really bad compared to a dedicated dongle / 2.4G.
