PS5 Adaptive Triggers

[Ikagura Ikagura]

Good idea fundamentally for gaming or just another gimmick that would get barely used by third party devs?

It's an amazing feature, one of the many reasons the PS5 controller is my favorite controller. I also use it for PC games. Best way to play Cyberpunk 2077, game feel from the controller adds so much to the experience for me.

Then again I absolutely love (and collect) controllers, I'm fascinated by the way they change the way you interact with a game. It feels significantly less impactful now to pull a standard trigger to fire a gun or to not have resistance when pulling back a bow string. I wish every game implemented the features.

Every time I used adaptive triggers in games it felt great. Unfortunately, the springs in the triggers of earlier Dualsense models have a habit of giving up the ghost early, leaving the controller with no adaptive function, beyond feeling like a "hair trigger"
