Installation

To ensure a smooth setup of DualX, please follow the installation steps carefully before reaching out to support. Many common questions are already documented here.

1. License Activation

Before downloading DualX, you must first log into your account and activate your license.

Why is activation required?
When you purchase a license, it immediately appears in your dashboard, but it does not start consuming time until you activate it. The expiration countdown begins only after activation. If your license is not activated, you will not be able to access the software.

2. System Preparation

Before downloading DualX, we need to adjust some settings on your PC to avoid installation errors.

Our software includes an advanced internal protection system called Obfuscation, designed to safeguard its integrity. Because of this, some antivirus programs may incorrectly detect the installer as a virus. Please note: this is a false positive — the antivirus cannot properly analyze the files due to 100% obfuscation.

To ensure the installation runs smoothly, temporarily disable your antivirus. For convenience, you can use our utility DControl, which automatically disables the antivirus before installation.

Password File: dcontrol

Download DControl

Once opened, simply click on Disable Antivirus and proceed with the installation.

Additionally, while optional, we strongly recommend disabling the Windows 11 24H2 (Build 22631) driver vulnerability protection to prevent potential incompatibilities with our driver.

Additional Installation: Automatic Restore Point Creation

When starting DualX for the first time, the system will automatically create a Restore Point. This precaution is necessary because during installation, device drivers are loaded and configured, and in rare cases, a change may affect the proper functioning of peripherals.

The restore point ensures that if any issue arises, you can revert the system to a previous state quickly and safely, without losing personal files. This guarantees that you always have a backup of your system's state before applying changes.

If the installation completes successfully, you can verify that the restore point has been created by accessing the Windows System Restore tool, where the restore point created by DualX will be listed.

Controller Configuration

To ensure a smooth setup of DualX, please follow the installation steps carefully before reaching out to support. Many common questions are already documented here.

1. Controller Detection

When starting DualX, an automatic window will always appear to detect your physical controller (DualSense, DualShock, or Xbox). This step is very important: if you do not select your controller, you will not be able to use DualX. Make sure to select your controller and click OK.

Once this is done, the software will automatically hide your physical controller from the system and games.

• After completing the detection, it is recommended to close DualX, disconnect your controller, then reopen DualX and reconnect your controller.

2. Controller Logo Button

This button allows you to reopen the controller detection window. By unchecking your controller, it will become visible again to the system.

3. Controller Overclock (Reduce Input Latency)

By clicking this button, a window will open allowing you to lower the input delay of your PlayStation controller. This feature, known as controller overclocking, modifies the polling rate — the frequency at which the controller communicates with your PC.

Available polling rate options include:

• 1000Hz (1 ms response time)
• 500Hz (2 ms response time)
• 250Hz (4 ms response time)
• 125Hz (8 ms response time)
• 31Hz (32 ms response time)

Increasing the polling rate significantly reduces input latency, resulting in faster response times and a smoother gaming experience. This is especially useful in competitive or fast-paced games where every millisecond counts.

Once you select a rate, you will need to reinstall the service and reconnect your controller for the changes to take effect.

4. Profiles

The Profiles System has been redesigned to be much simpler and more user-friendly. You can quickly create and manage multiple profiles according to your needs.

Creating a New Profile
Enter a profile name and click the Create New Profile button. Your new profile will immediately appear in the list at the bottom of the panel.

Profile Order and Auto-Load
Profiles are numbered sequentially. The application will always automatically load Profile #1 on startup. You can easily change the order of profiles by dragging one above the other.

Additional Options

• Import profiles from an external file.
• Export any existing profile.
• Delete unwanted profiles.
• Select a profile and click Play to load it instantly.

Joystick Configuration

To ensure a smooth setup of DualX, please follow the installation steps carefully before reaching out to support. Many common questions are already documented here.

1. Deadzone Types

Axial:
The deadzone is applied independently on each axis (X and Y). This means small movements on one axis will not affect the other, making it easier to fine-tune horizontal and vertical input separately.

Radial:
The deadzone is applied in a circular shape, considering both axes together. This provides a more natural feel for diagonal movements, as input is detected only when the stick moves outside the circular threshold.

2. Joystick Response Curves

The Response Curves system allows you to define how the joystick reacts to your input by applying different mathematical curves. This customization helps adapt the controller to your personal playstyle, whether you prefer smoother control or faster reactions.

Available Curves:

• Linear: The raw input matches the output 1:1, offering a natural and consistent response.
• Enhanced Precision: Provides more control in small stick movements, ideal for aiming accuracy.
• Quadratic: Slower response at the beginning, with faster acceleration as the stick moves further.
• Cubic: Even softer start with a steep response curve at higher input levels.
• EaseOutQuad: Quick initial response that slows down for smoother control.
• EaseOutCubic: Strong initial boost with gradual control at higher ranges.
• Custom: Fully customizable curve where you can adjust control points to create your own unique response pattern.

3. Custom Joystick Configuration

The Custom Joystick Configuration panel offers complete control over how your joystick responds to input. By fine-tuning these parameters, you can achieve greater accuracy, responsiveness, and comfort according to your gaming style.

Available Options Explained in Detail:

• Dead Zone:
  Defines the minimal stick movement that will be ignored. Increasing this value prevents unwanted micro-movements caused by hardware wear or stick drift.
  Best for: Old or worn controllers with drifting issues.
• Max Zone:
  Sets the threshold at which maximum input is registered. Lowering this value allows you to hit maximum movement earlier, while increasing it requires a full deflection to reach maximum.
  Best for: Players who want faster access to maximum speed or prefer smoother full-range control.
• Anti-Dead Zone:
  Compensates for the dead zone by boosting smaller inputs. This ensures that even slight movements register, reducing the “dead” feeling in the center of the stick.
  Best for: Precision aiming in FPS games or quick micro-adjustments.
• Max Output:
  Limits the highest possible output of the joystick. Even at full deflection, the output will not exceed this cap. Useful to avoid overly sensitive behavior in games.
  Best for: Racing games or simulations where maximum stick output feels too aggressive.
• Vertical Scale:
  Controls the sensitivity of the vertical axis relative to the horizontal. Reducing it helps when you need faster horizontal movements but slower vertical ones (e.g., aiming in shooters).
  Best for: Games where vertical precision is critical, such as FPS titles.
• Sensitivity:
  Adjusts how strongly the stick input is scaled for speed. Lower sensitivity provides more deliberate control, while higher sensitivity makes the stick more reactive.
  Best for: Fast-paced games requiring rapid input response, like fighting or action games.
• Smooth:
  Adds interpolation to joystick movement, reducing abrupt changes and making transitions smoother. While it adds stability, excessive smoothing may increase input delay slightly.
  Best for: Racing or flight simulators where fluid stick control feels more natural.

AI-Powered Aim Assistance System

This section explains in detail how the Artificial Intelligence assistance system works, helping you achieve an optimal configuration before requesting support.

Important Note

Using the AI aiming assistance system does not guarantee 100% accuracy, as performance depends heavily on your hardware components. It is not mandatory to use the AI to enable ControlSync; you can disable it if preferred. This clarification helps avoid support requests on systems with limited hardware performance.

Model Selection

Before activating the system, select a detection model compatible with your game. Several versions are available (V1, V2, etc.), each optimized for different setups. Not all models provide the same level of accuracy, so we recommend testing several to find the one that best suits your needs.

Assign a Key or Button – Activate AI

Click the assignment button and press a keyboard key or mouse button. This will be your main command to toggle the AI Aim Assist on or off. Then, check the 'ENABLE AI' box; if not enabled, the remaining options will stay locked.

Visual Adjustment

This section allows you to configure the visual elements of the system, such as the detection area (FOV) and AI overlays. These settings determine how visual indicators are displayed on the screen.

Aim Assist Configuration (AI)

Here you can fine-tune the parameters that control how the AI-based aim assist behaves. These settings let you balance speed, smoothness, and precision to match your playstyle.

Optimization and Aim Assist Power

Allows you to adjust the system’s performance and aiming strength to balance stability, resource usage, and precision.

Aiming Position (AI Position)

Defines the exact body point where the AI will focus its aim assistance. The vertical and horizontal sliders allow precise control over the target point.

Trigger Configuration

To ensure a smooth setup of DualX, please follow the installation steps carefully before reaching out to support. Many common questions are already documented here.

1. Trigger Response Curves

The Response Curves define how the trigger input is translated into output. Choosing the right curve allows you to control whether the trigger feels more precise at the start, more responsive, or balanced throughout the press.

• Linear: Input and output match in a 1:1 ratio. This is the most natural curve and is ideal for general use.
• Quadratic: Slow response at the beginning with faster acceleration near the end of the press. Good for gradual control, such as throttle or braking.
• Cubic: Even softer start than quadratic, with very strong acceleration at full press. Suitable for games where maximum input is only needed at the end.
• EaseOutQuad: Fast activation at the beginning that slows down toward the end. Provides quick initial response but smoother control later.
• EaseOutCubic: Strong initial boost with a gradual increase across the rest of the trigger pull. Useful for shooters where fast trigger response is required.

2. Trigger Deadzone Configuration

The Trigger Deadzone Configuration panel allows you to fine-tune how your triggers respond by adjusting their sensitivity and limits. This is especially useful for improving accuracy and avoiding accidental inputs.

Available Options Explained:

• Dead Zone:
  Defines the initial portion of the trigger travel that will be ignored. Increasing this prevents unwanted or accidental presses, especially useful if the triggers are too sensitive or worn out.
• Max Zone:
  Sets the maximum distance of trigger travel required to reach full input. Lowering this value makes the trigger hit 100% earlier, reducing the need to press fully.
• Anti-Dead Zone:
  Compensates for dead zones by boosting small inputs, ensuring that even light trigger presses register more strongly.
• Max Output:
  Limits the final output strength of the trigger. Even at full press, the input will not exceed this cap, which helps reduce oversensitivity.
• Sensitivity:
  Adjusts how strongly trigger input is scaled toward final speed. Lower sensitivity makes the trigger feel more deliberate, while higher sensitivity makes it react faster to small presses.

3. Adaptive Triggers (DualSense Only)

The Adaptive Triggers system is a unique feature of the PlayStation DualSense controller, allowing you to customize resistance and effects for a more immersive gameplay experience. These settings can be tailored to simulate real-world sensations such as pressure, resistance, or vibration.

Available Modes:

• Normal: The trigger behaves without any adaptive effects, providing a standard linear input.
• Resistance: Adds resistance when pulling the trigger, simulating physical pressure such as braking or pulling a bowstring.
• Pulse Automatic: The trigger vibrates at a defined frequency, simulating effects such as automatic weapons, engines, or repeated impacts.
• Section Resistance: Resistance is applied only in a specific section of the trigger’s travel, allowing for advanced customization (e.g., strong tension halfway through the press).

Additional Parameters:

• Start: Defines where the effect begins during the trigger press.
• End: Defines where the effect ends during the trigger press.
• Frequency: Adjusts the speed of vibration effects (used in Pulse Automatic mode).
• Force: Controls the strength of the effect applied to the trigger.
