DualSense Gyro Mouse Profile (Dualpakka)

This repository contains a HID Remapper profile for turning a Sony DualSense controller into a gyro mouse setup.

The goal is to make a DualSense feel closer to a mouse-and-keyboard style FPS layout, with gyro aiming for mouse movement and stick-based directional input. In spirit, it is trying to recreate the feel of the FPS WASD profile from Alpakka by Input Labs, but on a DualSense. You can think of it as a kind of "Dualpakka" approach, a community term also used in posts such as: https://www.reddit.com/r/GyroGaming/comments/1jx147j/my_dualpakka/

At the moment, the exported JSON profile is based on the DualSense Edge. The main logic can be adapted further, but the current custom usages and profile layout were built around that device first.

What It Does

• maps gyro movement to mouse movement
• activates gyro when the touchpad is touched
• uses expression-based logic for gyro shaping and stick classification
• includes stick-driven directional outputs inspired by Alpakka-style controls

Current State

This is an experimental profile setup rather than a polished end-user release. It is a working base for testing, tuning, and iterating on a DualSense gyro mouse layout.

Some parts are already organized into reusable expression files:

• expression_1_gyro.txt
• expression_1_gyro_calibration.txt
• expression_2_left_sticks_4dir_inner_outer.txt
• expression_3_right_stick_8dir.txt
• expression_4_fn_scrolling.txt

The current exported profile file is:

• ds-edge-hid-remapper-config.json

The exported JSON should be understood as a solid base configuration for further tuning, not as a fixed final setup. If needed, individual expressions can be swapped out without rebuilding the whole profile logic. For example, there is an alternative gyro expression with auto-calibration and residual drift filtering:

• expression_1_gyro_calibration.txt

There is also a dedicated Fn button scrolling expression for the DualSense Edge front function buttons:

• expression_4_fn_scrolling.txt

Current Mapping

The current JSON profile maps the DualSense Edge inputs as follows:

Input	Output	Notes
Gyro	Mouse X / Mouse Y	via expression-based gyro mouse logic
Left stick	W / A / S / D	via 4-direction stick expression
Left stick inner ring	L	via left stick ring detection
D-pad	Arrow keys	up/down/left/right
Cross / Circle / Square / Triangle	R / F / V / T	face button cluster
L1 / R1	Q / E	shoulder buttons
L2 / R2	Right mouse / Left mouse	trigger buttons
Create / Options	Tab / Esc	menu buttons
L3 / R3	J / 0	stick press buttons
Touchpad Click	M	touch contact itself is used separately for gyro activation
PS button	Enter	system button
Mute button	F12	microphone mute button
Back paddles	Left Shift / Space	DualSense Edge rear buttons
Right stick 8 directions	1 to 8	via 8-direction stick expression
Fn buttons	Vertical scroll	via dedicated Fn scroll expression

HID Remapper

This profile depends directly on the HID Remapper project by Jacek Fedorynski. HID Remapper is the hardware and firmware layer that makes this kind of setup possible: it can remap HID inputs in hardware, expose custom usages, run expressions, and save the resulting configuration to the device itself.

Inspiration

This work is inspired by the Alpakka firmware and control ideas from Input Labs:

• Alpakka overview: https://inputlabs.io/alpakka
• Alpakka profiles: https://inputlabs.io/alpakka/manual/profiles
• Alpakka FAQ, including touch-activated gyro behavior: https://inputlabs.io/alpakka/manual/faq
• Community examples of the "Dualpakka" idea: https://www.reddit.com/r/GyroGaming/comments/1jx147j/my_dualpakka/ https://www.reddit.com/r/GyroGaming/comments/1p67nhh/taking_the_dualpakka_one_step_further/

The intention is not to copy it one-to-one, but to bring a similar control philosophy to the DualSense through HID Remapper.

Notes

• the current JSON profile targets the DualSense Edge first
• some logic may also work on the regular DualSense with adjusted device IDs
• tuning values such as sensitivity, deadzones, and stick thresholds are still meant to be adjusted to personal preference

Purpose

This repository is mainly meant as a practical profile project:

• to experiment with gyro-to-mouse remapping on DualSense
• to document the related HID Remapper expressions
• to move toward a comfortable FPS-style controller layout with touch-activated gyro aiming

My Hardware Setup

• DualSense Edge
• Adafruit Feather RP2040 with USB Host, Type A (5723),
• Mac mini M4
