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.

Sounds like your last pc gaming experience was in the 90s.

Yeah, steam straight up tells you if games have support for controllers, and they are all plug-and-play...

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
