Hey,

I recently made the jump to linux. I wanted to sart PC gaming and figured I would start as I mean to go on.

I am having an issue with getting my ps5 controller connected. Steam recognises it, everything mapped fine. I open pcsx2 and it thinks its a dualshock 2. I cannot get it to work in game. I have remapped and everything but when I get to a menu, the D pad will work but selecting an option won't.

Any advice appreciated.

Hey, thanks. After a bit of poking and getting annoyed, the fix was to open pcsx2 directly and not through steam. Dualsense was detected and I clicked automap. It was still under dualshock but it recognised to be mapped like a dualsense.
