Try Chiaki4deck. you can configure it to run remotely too, and unless you are extremely far away, you won't notice the input lag.
Now, the reason i made this post is that a lot of people seem to not know how to mimic dualshock/sense touch gestures. i've read some threads from a while ago mentioning that the old way, using community layouts, was deleted, and they didnt know what to do now.
this official guide should be enough to get you set for trackpad gestures. you basically map the right trackpad as 'mouse region', touch is left click, click is the keyboard key T, and you're good to go.
my testing in regard to distance was 40 miles away from home, and i could play Dragon's Dogma 2 and Unicorn Overlord with zero notice of any lag. I will try GoT too, but don't expect to have issues.
so, if you're like me and wanted to play again because of the PC launch hype, but don't want to double dip, enjoy!
