Verified 2026-06-07: Cyberpunk on GOG/Heroic fires adaptive triggers in
real gameplay, 1:1 with Steam. Corrects the recipe across README,
CHANGELOG, and the new DUALSENSE_GAME_LIST.md:
- no launch option needed on Wine 11 (PROTON_ENABLE_HIDRAW now legacy)
- works on BOTH Steam and Heroic; Heroic needs Steam fully quit + no
global PROTON_PREFER_SDL
- XInput-only games (Ghostrunner, Control) give rumble but no triggers
by engine design, not a dongle limit
- OpenRGB confirmed a non-issue

# DualSense adaptive-trigger games — owned + tested through the dongle
|
|
|
|
Cross-referenced across Steam + Epic + GOG (~1,271 owned games). Native adaptive triggers work
|
|
on **both Steam and Heroic**, flag-free, with **runner = GE-Proton-DualSense (Wine 11)**. Verified
|
|
2026-06-07 by running Cyberpunk on *both* launchers — identical trigger behaviour.
|
|
|
|
- **Steam:** GE-Proton-DualSense + **Steam Input off**. No launch option needed (Wine 11 enables
|
|
the hidraw native path by default).
|
|
- **Heroic (Epic / GOG):** GE-Proton-DualSense + **Steam fully quit** + **no `PROTON_PREFER_SDL`**.
|
|
No launch option needed. (Earlier belief that Heroic needs `PROTON_ENABLE_HIDRAW` was wrong —
|
|
it was masked by the two gotchas below.)
|
|
|
|
### ⚠️ Linux gotchas that masquerade as "the dongle is broken" (all host-side)
|
|
|
|
- **Steam running in the background** grabs the pad from non-Steam (Heroic) games. Fully quit Steam,
|
|
or disable Settings → Controller → PlayStation controller support.
|
|
- **A global `PROTON_PREFER_SDL=1`** forces the SDL/Xbox path and *suppresses* native triggers. Keep
|
|
it off (or per-game only). It's how you get a generic Xbox pad when a game lacks native DualSense.
|
|
- **XInput-only games can't do adaptive triggers — period.** XInput has no trigger-resistance API, so
|
|
titles that read the pad via XInput (e.g. Ghostrunner, Control on PC) give rumble only, on any OS,
|
|
through any tool. Not a dongle limit.
|
|
|
|
Legend: ✅ = confirmed working **flag-free** through the dongle (this session, 2026-06-07).

## 〰️ Lighter / haptics-leaning (subtle trigger use)
|
|
|
|
- Baldur's Gate 3 — Steam — ✅ great experience; haptics-forward, light trigger use (dice rolls / ranged)
|
|
- Sifu — Epic — haptics only; combat is O/Triangle face-buttons, **no adaptive triggers** (not a trigger test)
|
|
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (next-gen) — Steam · GOG
|
|
- Control Ultimate Edition — GOG — XInput-only on PC (rumble, no adaptive triggers)
|
|
- Forza Horizon 5 — Steam
|
|
- Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice — Steam
|
|
- Star Wars: Squadrons — Epic
|
|
- Maneater — Epic
|
|
|
|
**Caveats:** matched the *well-known* trigger titles across a 600+ game library — there may be a
|
|
few more not flagged. ~18 games with real triggers, all owned, all working through the dongle.
