ApexSenseBridge v0.3.0

ApexSenseBridge brings native Sony DualSense Adaptive Triggers (FORCEADAPT) and Haptic Feedback directly to the Flydigi APEX 5 on Windows.


📥 One-Click Installer & Download

No compiling required! Download the standalone installer and extension below:

  • 🚀 ApexSenseBridge-Setup.exe : Complete installer configuring the C++20 engine, required virtual drivers (usbip-win2, HidHide, viiper), and Playnite extension.
  • 🎮 ApexSenseBridge.pext : Standalone Playnite extension package for automated per-game profiles.

🎮 Fully Tested & Verified In-Game (100% Functional)

  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Beta : Dynamic adaptive triggers per weapon category (semi-auto wall, full-auto recoil kick, bolt-action stop) and textured DSP haptics (footsteps, slides, explosions).
  • Marvel's Spider-Man 2 : Progressive web-line tension while swinging, web-shooter clicks, gadget resistance, and touchpad swipe gestures (FNSM app & abilities via WGI Fix).
  • Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced (GTA V Enhanced) : Full driving trigger resistance (throttle resistance, ABS braking, off-road vibration) and deep haptic textures (engine revs, gear shifts, surface grit).

✨ Key Features

  • Real-Time Trigger Translation: Intercepts native DualSense trigger reports (USB 0x02 / BT 0x31) and converts them dynamically into Flydigi FORCEADAPT commands (0x81/0x82 packets) with near-zero latency.
  • DSP Haptic Frequency Splitting:
    • Real-time 48 kHz audio signal processing:
      • Low Frequencies (< 150 Hz): Routed to the heavy left grip motor (explosions, heavy impacts, vehicle suspensions).
      • High Frequencies (> 150 Hz): Routed to the fast right grip motor (rain, surface textures, footsteps, mechanical clicks).
  • Per-Game Touchpad Gestures: Built-in swipe/tap translation for games requiring touchpad inputs (Spider-Man 2, Miles Morales, Ghost of Tsushima, Warframe).
  • 🛡️ 100% Anti-Cheat Safe: Pure OS-level HID emulation. Zero memory injection or DLL hooking. Completely transparent to anti-cheat software.
  • Physical Controller Isolation & Watchdog: Prevents double controller input via temporary HidHide isolation with automatic crash-recovery watchdog.
  • Audio Endpoint Protection: Automatically restores your default headset/speakers so Windows doesn't reroute general game audio to the virtual DualSense.
  • Automated Playnite Extension with Auto-Updater: Auto-detects compatible games, assigns profiles per-game, and updates itself in the background via GitHub releases.

🔮 Roadmap & Next Update

  • 🖥️ Standalone GUI Control Panel: A dedicated desktop UI / System Tray app is in development for users who wish to run ApexSenseBridge without Playnite.
