Linux 6.2 will officially support Sony PS4 handles

CTOnews.com, November 15, according to the hid-playstation driver update submitted by Sonny to Linux, users will soon usher in the official support of Sony PS4 DualShock handle in Linux version 6.2.

Since then, many users have been looking forward to the official extension to support more handles, and now this update has finally arrived. This support has been incorporated into the for-next branch of HID and will then be introduced with the Linux 6.2 kernel.

The new driver brings the support of USB, Bluetooth connection, touchpad, battery, vibration, accelerometer, gyroscope, LED brightness, lamp strip, adapter and so on for Sony PS4 handle.

CTOnews.com has learned that other Linux developers have launched hid-sony drivers for Sony PS4 handles, and the solution can still be used, but when official support comes online, you can compare which is better and make your own choices.
