Could you build this?
No A Bluetooth controller bridge on a jailbroken PS5 depends on a console exploit, kernel-level payload work, and low-level Bluetooth stack knowledge that vibe coding cannot supply.
What it would actually take: The build requires a working PS5 jailbreak or exploit chain, a payload that runs on the console's FreeBSD-based kernel, and Bluetooth HID driver internals. It takes console-security researchers with hardware access and a test device.
