For some reason this took me a lot longer to figure out than it should. I have a bunch of games on GOG which only support an Xbox style controller, but I really like my DualSense 5. I searched online, but found that people were mainly sticking to using steam. For some reason when I played my GOG games via steam it still didn’t work.
I then remembered that AntiMicroX exists and is included in the repositories of most distos/flatpak. So that’s how I made my PS5 controller work like an Xbox controller on linux 👌
So far I’ve tested this with Kingdom Come Deliverance and Mirror’s Edge
Yeah I know, I do have it enabled. I force enabled it for generic and playstation controllers and I just double checked in the game preference to make sure it’s actually enabled for it. I think it used to work, but I couldn’t get it to work for Kingdom Come. Tbh I prefer the antimicrox soluction. There’s just the heroic+game+antimicrox processes running, I don’t need all the steam processes when playing a GOG game :D
