DualSenseAPI

A .NET standard API for interacting with DualSense controllers. Full docs and API reference are available at https://badmagic100.github.io/DualSenseAPI/.

Features

• Basic Input: Analog sticks and triggers, d-pad, and all buttons. Basically any input library you will use can offer this, including DirectInput or similar.
• Advanced Input: Most of the rest of input features for the DualSense. This includes:
  • 6-axis accelerometer (accelerometer and gyroscope)
  • 2-point multitouch
  • Battery status
• Output: Most of the full suite of output features for the DualSense. This includes:
  • Haptic motors
  • Adaptive triggers
  • Lightbar color
• Flexiblility of Control: Supports both synchronous and asynchronous/event-driven IO.

Example

This simple example connects to a DualSense controller using asynchronous polling. The repo contains a more detailed sample and also shows the usage of synchronous polling as well. Check it out here!

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    DualSense ds = DualSense.EnumerateControllers().First();
    ds.Acquire();
    ds.JoystickDeadZone = 0.1f;
    ds.BeginPolling(20, (sender) => {
        DualSenseInputState dss = sender.InputState;
        Console.WriteLine($"LS: ({dss.LeftAnalogStick.X:F2}, {dss.LeftAnalogStick.Y:F2})");
        Console.WriteLine($"RS: ({dss.RightAnalogStick.X:F2}, {dss.RightAnalogStick.Y:F2})");
        Console.WriteLine($"Triggers: ({dss.L2:F2}, {dss.R2:F2})");
        Console.WriteLine($"Touch 1: ({dss.Touchpad1.X}, {dss.Touchpad1.Y}, {dss.Touchpad1.IsDown}, {dss.Touchpad1.Id})");
        Console.WriteLine($"Touch 2: ({dss.Touchpad2.X}, {dss.Touchpad2.Y}, {dss.Touchpad2.IsDown}, {dss.Touchpad2.Id})");
        Console.WriteLine($"Gyro: ({dss.Gyro.X}, {dss.Gyro.Y}, {dss.Gyro.Z})");
        Console.WriteLine($"Accel: ({dss.Accelerometer.X}, {dss.Accelerometer.Y}, {dss.Accelerometer.Z}); m={dss.Accelerometer.Magnitude()}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Headphone: {dss.IsHeadphoneConnected}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Battery: {dss.BatteryStatus.IsCharging}, {dss.BatteryStatus.IsFullyCharged}, {dss.BatteryStatus.Level}");
    });
    Console.ReadKey(true);
    ds.EndPolling();
    ds.Release();
}
