Description morgoth-baeglir 2017-09-21 10:18:54 UTC 
SDL2.0.5 detects Dualshock4 gamepad but considers it as non-haptic. Therefore I am not able to use rumble for this controller. Xbox gamepad works just fine.

You can use https://wiki.libsdl.org/CategoryGameController API and its SDL_GameControllerRumble() for PS4/PS5 controllers
