Had to install this app which then made me sign in (using my work PC) to update the firmware on my damn controller. Wish there was a way to do this in Linux. I’m so over Microsoft’s crap.

Well, in the case of the Dualsense on PS5, they’ve made changes to improve things like haptic feedback, controller volume output from the speaker, better noise cancellation on the mic (though I doubt anyone uses that) and if you have the latest PS5 models (pro or non-pro), you now have adaptive charging.
Oh brother, do people ever use the controller mic. They especially love to do it when they play music from their phone speaker on their lap. And they never use headphones, so when you unmute yourself to say “Hey, can you turn your mic down a bit? I can’t hear the game,” you end up blowing out your own eardrums hearing yourself through their TV at full volume.
I wish I had a way to permanently disable that mic. Why the fuck is that even there? Do console players use these?! All it does is yank priority from my actual mic if I plug it in to charge.

Looks like that works on PS5, not so sure about PC. I will investigate when I get home, thanks for the tip!
Almost every game that uses the speaker is even more annoying.
The exceptions being the Astro Bot games, because the sounds tie in to the haptic feedback.
Sony does hardware features well pretty much across the board. It completely changes the experience without dominating it.
Third parties seem to either halfass it or ignore it.
