Hello all - new Steamdeck owner here. I also own a PS5 and had been wanting to stream to my deck.

I learned about Chiaki4deck and did the install this weekend and was up and running playing games within a few minutes. However, I am still having a few issues getting the Touchpad on my PS5 controller to work right.

The controller works fine with that one exception.

I have a few games that really utilize the pad - is there something that can be done on the Deck side help with compatibility?

Edit: just resolved the issue thanks to @PlasticExistence@lemmy.world: the firmware on the controller I was trying to use had not been updated. Once I did the issue resolved itself.

Thanks all for the suggestions and help

I've never been able to get my PS5 controller working properly on my main PC, which is an Arch system. So, when I got my Steam Deck I just went with an Xbox controller. It's not a solution to your specific issue, but I haven't had any issues with this setup.

I’m running DualSense on Arch without issues. It even uses the touch pad for mouse movements when not in-game (Steam).

Make sure to check the docs if you aren’t using Gnome: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamepad.

My only complaint is the atrocious battery life, but that’s not a Linux issue.

I'm on Plasma, my issue has always been getting the Bluetooth to function properly. bluez-util just won't sync with it consistently.

Had the same issue on newer versions of bluez-utils. Downgrading it to 5.6x fixed my issues.
