The problem is the reason those people don't get into PC gaming is because they don't wanna spend $700 on a gaming machine.
That's not necessarily true. I want my gaming to just work, and that's not the case in Windows. It's becoming less the case with console gaming, but I can still be confident that when I buy a game for my PlayStation it'll actually boot, I won't need to use third-party software for controller support, and I won't need to tinker with drivers. That said, I already have a PS5. The TV I game on is still 1080p, so I don't understand what $700 would get me over my current hardware.
Sounds like your last pc gaming experience was in the 90s.
I did have to install 3rd part drivers for Dualshock 3. And I will follow a GitHub guide when the gaming PC is upgraded to Win11 and Logitech f710 no longer works. https://gist.github.com/bsamadi/4d4070658b7ea4ee7960cae40a7fccb4
Well, you CAN actually use that 18 years old hardware with a PC. Try it on a PS5.
The other way around is actually supported
Is it?
I don't have a ps3 controller to try, but the internet seems to say no pretty unanimously.
I meant dualsense on PS3, not Dualshock 3 on PS5
