I recently came across DIY projects like DS5Dongle and DS5 Bridge, which use a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W to connect a DualSense to PC wirelessly.
There are some interesting DIY projects based on the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W, as well as newer ports for BL616/BL618 boards. They support quite a few features, including controller audio and button remapping, but getting them running usually involves flashing firmware and some manual setup.
Dedicated wireless adapters are generally more straightforward. Most are designed to work out of the box, and some also offer multiple controller modes, button customization, and browser-based firmware updates.
The DIY route seems cheaper and more customizable, but I'm wondering about connection stability, setup, and how reliably the features actually work.
I'd go the DIY route and see how it goes - you could probably return the Pi if you find it doesn't meet your needs, and the firmware update step is extremely straightforward.
