By surprise and without any announcement (maybe I missed it?) Ryochan7 archived their ds4windows project with a final EOL release
Vigembus (the driver) is also discontinued due to a trademark issue by an unrelated company that has nothing to do with gaming
What will be the path forward to easily use non-xbox pads on windows?

Yeah, it does. This can sometimes require launching steam in Big Picture Mode first, then select the game you want. A bit annoying to take that extra step but Steam has upped their ps5 controller support lately.

But I play mostly from gog, and my Intel GPU doesn't play nice with the steam overlay (transparency becomes black and everything becomes 5 fps)
Also it means I have to waste 15 precious minutes troubleshooting the game. Pad isn't recognized, try via steam, add it manually, see if it works via xinput, and so on.

How do you not know you can add any game or program to steam?

Steam Input can handle this now I thought?

Steam handles all of the drivers now.

Check out reWASD, by Daemon Tools. I paid 7 dollars for it once and it's great.

reWASD is brilliant, great suggestion!

Holy crap! They still exist? I haven't heard that name in forever, but I loved their stuff back when I needed it. Wow.

It's for Linux, not windows
Bluetooth controller support on Linux is much better
