Could you build this?
No It requires low-level kernel and Bluetooth driver development on jailbroken PS5 firmware to intercept, translate, and emulate gamepad HID protocols.
What it would actually take: Requires C/C++ embedded systems expertise, reverse-engineering PS5 FreeBSD kernel internals and Bluetooth stack (FreeBSD netgraph/bthidd or proprietary Sony drivers), and implementing custom HID packet translation for various controllers without introducing input latency.
