QS to ps5

[Jesus Dominguez]

I’m trying to get back into gaming after a couple of months of not playing. I can’t get my ps5 to read my quadstick. It was working fine before but now it won’t seem to connect. I updated the firmware on my quadstick and my brooks fgc2 and followed the steps and it still won’t work. Am I doing something wrong?

For the FGC2, use the latest non-beta firmware, V1.1.2.4:

The PS5 requires the PS button to be pushed to wake up the USB connection.  That is typically the soft sip on the center mouthpiece hole. 

In this video, the PS button is mapped to the lip sensor, but that is not normally the case.

It worked. Thank you.

So with this stick its possible to use the ps5? Which controller setting do i have to use for it? Probably the ps ones right? Can the qs be used as kb+m directly?

QMP settings:

In order to have access to the touchpad and motion functions, the quadstick needs to be in PS4 mode with the authentication turned off.

For basic controller stuff, default PS3 mode also works.

Mouse and keyboard to not pass through the FGC2 to the console.

On the PS5 side,  the PS5 controller settings should be set to wired USB only and disabling the PS5's Bluetooth.  This prevents the native Dual Sense Controller from periodically waking up and taking over the connection via Bluetooth.

Some people report using the front USB-C connector via an adapter to USB-A female worked more reliably than the USB-A connector or the connector on the back.

So enable_DS3_emulation has to be 4 right? Good to know! I want to get it working now, so I am ready for GTA VI😍
