DS4 Bridge 1.0 🎮

The biggest update so far: a full settings window, per-game profiles, gyro aiming, desktop mode and an AppImage that runs on most distros.

⬇️ Download

  • DS4_Bridge-1.0-x86_64.AppImage (recommended): download, chmod +x, run.
  • ds4_bridge_tray: plain executable.

Both need glibc 2.34+: Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Linux Mint 21+, Fedora 35+, Arch and other rolling distros. On older systems, compile from source (see README).

✨ New

  • Settings window with tabs for buttons, sticks & rumble, gyro and desktop mode
  • Full button remapping: every button (incl. Share / Options / PS, L3 / R3, D-pad) can be mapped to any Xbox button or disabled
  • Per-game profiles: switch automatically while a game runs (e.g. eldenring.exe) and switch back when it closes
  • Gyro aiming with the right stick or mouse pointer, with calibration (needs working motion sensors; many clones don't have them)
  • Desktop mode (PS + Options): use the controller as mouse and keyboard
  • Controller test window: see stick drift live and pick the right deadzone
  • Round deadzone per stick, rumble strength, invert Y, swap sticks, digital triggers
  • Virtual controller type: Xbox 360, Xbox One S or DualShock 4 (PlayStation button icons)
  • Battery per controller with charging indicator
  • One-click fix for /dev/uinput permissions
  • Languages: English and Azərbaycanca
  • Works with both Ayatana and legacy AppIndicator automatically, with a classic tray icon as fallback

🐛 Fixed

  • Changing the button mapping while playing could leave a button stuck
  • Status showed "Running" even when /dev/uinput could not be opened
  • Battery could be read from a mouse or headset instead of the controller
  • Two tray instances could run at the same time
  • The log file grew without limit (now capped at 1 MiB)

⚠️ Notes

  • Settings moved to ~/.config/ds4-bridge/settings.ini; your old settings.json is imported automatically.
  • Logs are now in ~/.local/state/ds4-bridge/.
  • On GNOME, the "AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support" extension is needed to see the tray icon.
