Description isaboll12 2020-12-22 04:05:32 UTC 
The PS5 Controller is not found as a haptic supported device when using the "testrumble" SDL test application.

Additionally, when using the haptic subsystem to open a haptic device with the PS5 controller, the Haptic device created appears to be NULL, however controller haptic works using the Gamepad API "SDL_GameControllerRumble" function. This impacts haptic support for older applications that use the haptic api for controller haptics, where replacing the DLL doesn't bring the functionality (unlike previous versions).

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