About the project

Firmware that turns a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W into a Bluetooth dongle for the DualSense 5 controller, making it appear to the host as a wired USB device with haptics, headset audio and mic support.

Useful for

Connect a DualSense wirelessly to a PC or console that lacks Bluetooth, using the Pico as a USB dongle.
Pair, disconnect or forget controllers via BOOTSEL button clicks without unplugging the Pico.
Use the controller's headset jack and microphone as a USB audio device on the host.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
