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.

My biggest gripe with the dualsense is the battery life. I get maybe 3.5 hours from it if I'm lucky and that's just watching media, literally barely using at all.

I don't have any of those 😅 🤷 I've not had stick drift... yet... (all of my Nintendo switch nunchuck controllers that I barely use however... all have stick drift 😅) I've never noticed any input lag, but maybe my bt receiver is decent or something 🤷 there's quite a few community layouts for the DS5 in steam That gamepadlia site doesn't appear to have a filter for trackpads...
