USB HD Control

USB HD Control is an optional utility for Sony DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers. Its code recognizes USB product IDs 0x0CE6 and 0x0DF2 through Linux's hid-playstation driver and hidraw interface. It shows a controller's connection, battery and firmware, checks Sony's update server, and updates firmware over USB. For a DualSense Edge, it can also back up, display and edit the controller's profiles.

The Console Suite port has not been validated on PS5 hardware. Controller detection and functions depend on the system's kernel driver and controller support.

Install

Run the installer from a repository checkout:

bazzite-console/apps/hdcontrol/install.sh
bazzite-console/apps/hdcontrol/install.sh --no-desktop-shortcut
bazzite-console/apps/hdcontrol/install.sh --uninstall
bazzite-console/apps/hdcontrol/install.sh --uninstall --purge

The app is available from the desktop menu or ~/.local/bin/ps5-usb-hdcontrol. It does not request root; access depends on the system's permissions for the controller's hidraw device. Firmware updates require a USB cable; leave the cable connected and the system powered on until the update finishes.

Optional Bluetooth idle-off service

The installer does not install or enable this feature by default. To opt in, run:

bazzite-console/apps/hdcontrol/install.sh --enable-idle-service

This installs and enables a per-user systemd service, not a system-wide service. It disconnects a Bluetooth controller after the idle interval selected in the app. The service leaves USB-connected controllers alone, and the app removes it when uninstalled.

Firmware and license

Controller firmware belongs to Sony and is not included with the app. USB HD Control is GPL-3.0-or-later; see the app's README and LICENSE in bazzite-console/apps/hdcontrol/. Its update protocol and DualSense Edge profile implementation retain the MIT attributions and license notice in the README.
