Not sure why I never mentioned it,

 

but the PS5 controller's haptics are pretty freaking awesome.

 

I finally messed around with some settings in VP im running windows 11 latest.

The PC sees the ps5 controller as a quadraphonic system.

On some tables, you can really feel the ball rolling around the table! then music tables like Pink Floyd, AC/DC

OMG forget about it! The punch from the base feels solid in your hands!

 

Can I adjust the power of the haptics the table is putting out to the controller?

 

Now I want to build a mini cab with little ps5 haptics in it lol.

 

Has anyone tried this PS5 controller with pinball?

I think that's what I really want to know if anyone else has.

 

Anyway, if you haven't tried it you should. If you didn't know about  the cool haptics in the controller now you do :tup:

 

Really changes the way the tables play!

Edited my comment, as I got the mappings to work properly.

 

I am not getting any feedback at all in the game, haptic or otherwise.  Is there anything special I should be doing and/or need to configure to be able to experience the haptic feedback?

You have to move to XInput and enable the feedback within the Key/etc settings dialog. Btw, some fixes related to XInput handling: https://github.com/v...7.3-395-2bd9ac3

Hi, spacegoogie. Could you please explain how you configured VPX and Windows/PS5 controller to get the haptics working? I'm new to both VPX and I just got the PS5 controller so any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, this would be interesting for me too. Please, can you post screenshot of your settings?

 

I have connected DS5 to PC via Bluetooth and controls are working but no feedback at all. Using latest 10.8 Beta.

 

I only have feedback when using DS4Windows connected via Cable....
