My DS4 V2 suddenly died, alternate controller for PS5 remote play?

[Boltman]

I was just wondering if anything new has been discovered since last. I know we needed a DS4 V2 to run remote play on PS5. I guess what I'm asking is, do I need to buy another one of the same type?

Also my mouse doesn't seem to want to light up when my xim is plugged in and powered on.

You can use a DualSense, just make sure it has enough power.

When you say enough power is it enough if I have the xim adapter (3 USB one) plugged into power? Because I am running a plug into the adapter. Or do you mean but an entirely separate power USB hub? I have several from 5V to 9V, from 2.0 to 3.0.

Use a power adapter but also make sure the DualSense is fully charged.

Yep, charging it to full now. I have 2 dualsense, so I can dedicate one to the xim for remote play.
