After u doing the update, can you play games with your ps5 controller on wireless? or you need to plugin usb always when u want to play ?

This is just application for updating firmware on controller. I don’t know why it exists in first place. Computer is not going to recognize it as “dualsense” outside of that application.

Any benefits in games supported and nonsupported? Especially on PC.

Hi man, how are you? To do this update, when I try to connect the USB cable to my controller as it says on the screen, it just doesn't do anything, it keeps saying the same message "Connect your controller to your computer using the USB cable". Now my question is, do I have to have the original PS5 controller cable, or I can just use some USB cable that works in my controller?
Thanks

Heads up to anyone thats gonna be updating the PS5 controller via PC do not do it with USB-C to USB-C it will always fail, you will need to use regular USB to USB-C.
Idk how many controller players use USB-C to USB-C connection but i do as its 2X faster than regular USB.
