Wrong inputs on DualSense Edge Wireless Controller

Wrong inputs on DualSense Edge Wireless Controller

Hello,

I am currently on Fedora 39 (6.5.12-300.fc39.x86_64) and I am noticing that the inputs for this controller are wrong primarily on the right side of the controller.

playstation 0005:054C:0DF2.000C: hidraw11: BLUETOOTH HID v1.00 Gamepad [DualSense Edge Wireless Controller] on 10:3d:1c:fd:30:bc
playstation 0005:054C:0DF2.000C: Registered DualSense controller hw_version=0x01000208 fw_version=0x01000036

This is the current mapping that I'm seeing with the hid_playstation module loaded:
"X" is actually "Square"
"Square" is "Triangle"
"Triangle" is "Circle"
"Circle" is "X"

Also the right joystick seems to be controlling "R2" instead of the right joystick. "L2" and "R2" triggers control the joystick instead. It's overall very weird. Has there been any similar reports to this?

Hi Alexander,

Sorry for the late reply, but I have been out for a few days. I'm not
aware of any button/axis mapping change between Edge and regular
DualSense. The HID reports stayed the same.

I just did a quick check on my laptop also on Fedora 38 / kernel 6.5
and the mapping seems to be fine. In evtest, triangle reports
BTN_NORTH, square BTN_WEST, etcetera.

The sticks, triggers and buttons seem to be fine as well. How are you
testing this?

Thanks,
Roderick

I was testing this in the Steam controller test, Cyberpunk 2077 (through GOG, not through Steam), and SuperTuxKart. All of these have wrong mappings for the Edge controller exclusively.
For additional context I have a PS5 controller (non Edge) and it works out of the box. This just seems to be an issue with the Edge variant.

I tested in evtest, and it's reporting sane results (cross south, square west, etc). So this seems to be an issue outside of the playstation driver itself?

Right, I believe the problem stems from Proton -> Windows userspace
Xinput drivers or game/Steam controller test specific code though I am
not 100% sure.

  https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/blob/proton_8.0/docs/CONTROLLERS.md

A easy way to confirm would be to run the Steam controller test from
Windows (if you have access) and see if it is weird. You will see from
the diagram that the driver is bypassed by hidraw on the linux side. If
hidraw is not usable on the system, a fallback occurs SDL2's js backend
is used to map the device into a "generic" Xbox controller on the
wine/Windows land.

[Roderick Colenbrander]

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for testing. This indeed confirms the kernel side mapping
(hid-playstation) is right. Different software layers e.g. SDL2 and
others tend to do their own mappings. This type of mapping seems to be
incorrect (or even missing for DualSense Edge resulting in a default
fallback).

Thanks,
Roderick

Re: Wrong inputs on DualSense Edge Wireless Controller

[Roderick Colenbrander]

Many applications use SDL2 and don't use evdev directly. Latest SDL2
from git doesn't have the mappings for dualsense edge, but only
regular dualsense. Though usually on SDL2 it would use hidraw.
Depending on what version of the library was used, it may not support
the controller.

See e.g. https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/8d47e3bb82288321eb15a0708d1311cbd25a11d6/src/joystick/SDL_gamecontrollerdb.h#L765
