How to Connect a PS5 Controller to Delta
Bring the DualSense's analog sticks and real triggers to Delta over a standard Bluetooth pairing.
Overview
The PS5 DualSense supports standard Bluetooth HID alongside Apple's game controller framework, so iOS recognizes it natively — no companion app, no extra driver, just a normal Bluetooth pairing like connecting a pair of AirPods.
Delta auto-maps the DualSense's face buttons and sticks to whatever console layout the loaded game needs. Since GBA and NDS games only use a handful of buttons, the leftover ones — L2, R2, the touchpad — are free to remap to shortcuts like fast-forward or quick save states.
A wired USB-C connection works as a fallback to Bluetooth too, which is handy when the controller's battery is low or you want to rule out wireless input lag entirely.

Good to Know
A wired USB-C connection skips Bluetooth entirely — useful for zero input lag testing or when the controller's battery is dead.
The DualSense's adaptive triggers and haptic feedback aren't used by Delta, since GBA and NDS games have no native support for that hardware.
