VR2 Sense Status

VR2 Sense controller support is experimental and not usable as a normal gameplay path yet.

Current work includes Bluetooth HID input mapping, haptics report handling, stream integration, and a debug menu for testing output behavior. The implementation is public so other developers can inspect, test, and improve it, but it should be treated as work in progress.

Tester Notes

Bug reports, feature requests, and general experience notes are welcome. Haptic behavior can vary by game, phone, controller firmware, Android version, and Bluetooth stack, so hardware-specific reports are useful.

Instructions

• Allow the elevated Bluetooth permission prompt / nearby devices permission when starting the app for the first time.
• Connect the controller to your Android device while the app is open.
• Reconnect the controller each time you reopen the app after leaving it in the background or closing it.

Notes

• Elevated DualSense functionality uses AndroidHiddenApiBypass.
• Bluetooth DualSense and VR2 behavior is still being researched and refined.

Coming Soon

• Rumble emulation within haptics
• PSN console registering
• More complete VR2 Sense controller support
• Upscaling and streaming improvements
• Possible cloud streaming experiments
