DualSense Works on PC but Has No Haptic Feedback

PC gamepad input does not prove DualSense haptics; Sony now says haptic feedback requires a USB connection and a game that supports it.

Why this happens

Advanced feedback depends on the game and connection path, not merely OS detection.

What to check

1. Check the game's official DualSense feature list.
2. Connect with a USB data cable for supported PC haptic feedback.
3. Test basic input, adaptive triggers, and haptics as separate functions in the game.
