Controller Rumble not working on DS4
Personally I use CircumSpector's DS4Windows. It has restored rumble and lightbar passthru on my end. The lightbar passthru is kinda buggy but it kinda works.

VR quality gyro aim with NO software, NO cameras, just plug and play with one wireless dongle. Tested reliable for more than a year with NO drift.
Thankfully, Jibb already redirects the newer fork if you look at the Release page or literally the first Paragraph of README.md. So unlike DS4Windows (which took 6-7+ years to tell folks to move over to Ryochan4 fork...which said fork been discontinued and someone else took over. Welcome to FOSS. 😋), it should be easy enough to head over to Electronicks fork.

PC players can now update their DualSense wireless controller with the latest firmware from Windows 11 and select Windows 10 devices, without connecting to a PS5.
Final note: DS4Windows hasn't been updated since August 2021. Another group forked it and they're rewriting a lot of it. There is no release yet and no release date planned.
- DS4Windows IS dead ?
- For those on PC. Best way to use controller on pc?

Ask HN: Who Wants to Collaborate?
A couple of FOSS enthusiasts and myself have taken over the decade old game controller remapping tool DS4Windows (https://github.com/CircumSpector/DS4Windows) with the goal to rewrite major parts using latest dotnet patterns and technologies. There's still months worth of work left but despite being an ambitious task, it's quite doable and fun figuring out your way around someone else's massive code base. Join us if you like!

Dualsense in-app battery indicator
The DS4Windows project is not dead. There is a new team working on it called CircumSpector, but it may take a while for a update to be released since they are focusing on "modernizing" the code so it's easier to maintain it in the future. There are lots of changes going on under the hood, but "user visible" changes for now.

Will the Rumble get fixed anytime soon when using DS4 emulation?
This is not exactly true. Check CircumSpector's DS4Windows.

Third, integration of the controller is fairly simple. Everything is addressable via a standard HID interface, heck here’s it running in JS on your browser. Off the shelf engines also support it. It was the same as DS4 and that’s why many games like cuphead or such support them with no configuration.
