No paywalls, no ads, nothing tracking you. If Dish makes your setup better, tips cover hosting, code-signing certs, and the Google Play developer account.
What's new since Dish 2.0: DualSense HD haptics over Wi-Fi, the touchpad and lightbar without Direct mode, Bluetooth DualSense on the desktop, and Diagnostics.
007 First Light, God of War, and Horizon only vibrate a DualSense over USB on PC, because the haptics are audio. Dish and Satellite carry them over Wi-Fi.
On PC, adaptive triggers usually mean a USB cable to the gaming PC. With Dish and Satellite, a game's trigger effects reach your DualSense over Wi-Fi.
