Question PS5 controllers not working with gaming laptops

[dank69]

Hey guys, I bought some PS5 controllers for my girls for xmas. They pair with their gaming laptops but they don't do anything. I can't find any settings to "enable" them or find anything on Google to tell me what is wrong. Any ideas?

I installed some 3rd party software (ds4windows) and now it works. Nevermind I guess.

Yeah, PS5 controllers work great... for PS5.

The only controller that works natively on PC is an XBox 360/S/X controller.

Gald that you found a 3rd-party driver solution; I'll have to look into that more closely.
