Hey,
I recently made the jump to linux. I wanted to sart PC gaming and figured I would start as I mean to go on.
I am having an issue with getting my ps5 controller connected. Steam recognises it, everything mapped fine. I open pcsx2 and it thinks its a dualshock 2. I cannot get it to work in game. I have remapped and everything but when I get to a menu, the D pad will work but selecting an option won’t.
Any advice appreciated.

You shouldn’t need to remap anything. And PCSX2 should be able to tell that it’s a DS5.
Are you sure you’re not mixing up the actual controller with what PCSX2 is pretending the controller is, which by default is a DS2 (this can be set to other stuff that isn’t a DS2, like a guitar hero controller).
To configure an input device, you’d go into the controller settings, of course. There are separate settings for controller 1 and 2. In the top right of either, there should be a drop down for assigning a device to be that controller. That’s where you select the DS5.
Do you have steam open at the same time? Steam will present a virtual pad to emulators/retroarch. You shouldn’t need to configure it manually.
Hey, thanks. After a bit of poking and getting annoyed, the fix was to open pcsx2 directly and not through steam. Dualsense was detected and I clicked automap. It was still under dualshock but it recognised to be mapped like a dualsense.
I would guess that since it’s a PS2 emulator, then marking the pad as DS2 would make sense. But why buttons don’t work is a good question
EDIT: what about the tester from here?
