How to disable the mouse cursor when using dualsense touchpad?
Some playstation games i'm playing require using the touchpad to interact with parts of the game and i'm unable to do so currently as the touchpad is treated as mouse input.
there is documentation for this on the arch wiki but i'm unsure how to apply it.

Solution
nevermind, you can just disable the touchpad in kde plasma system settings
make the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/72-ds4tm.rules
put this inside it
reload udev rules with sudo udevadm control --reload
to manually trigger the rules sudo udevadm trigger
you found the answer for kde while i was translating the archwiki guide for you 🤣lol yup
i didn't think the kde settings would treat it as an actual touchpad
pleasantly surprised
same
dont have a PS5 controller atm as i own a custom one but its in for repairs
oh neato
i had an older xbox 1 controller but i swapped to the ds5 for the gyro
helped with switch games
not really but i needed an excuse ☠️
usb c is nice too
yeah my issue was with the thumbsticks
thats how the full rotation of the sticks looked like
ignore the avg errors, its not important and has nothing to do with the issue
