Reddit user SlaveKnightSoman demonstrated the under-$20 Raspberry Pi Pico 2W device, based on GitHub developer awalol's MIT-licensed design, in a video showing low-latency gameplay.
The dongle pairs with the controller over Bluetooth, then presents itself to Windows as a wired DualSense, preserving haptics, adaptive triggers, audio and other features normally lost wirelessly.
It aims to bypass Windows Bluetooth bandwidth limits and fill a gap left by Sony, which does not offer an official PC dongle for full wireless DualSense functionality.
Why did a sub-$20 DIY project solve a wireless problem that Sony and Microsoft ignored for years?
Could Sony's next firmware update intentionally disable this popular community-made wireless solution for PC gamers?
