Could you build this?
No Making a PS5 treat a Switch or Xbox controller as a DualSense requires a jailbroken console, USB-level protocol emulation, and hardware-specific work that vibe coding cannot produce.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a PS5 jailbreak or exploit, USB gadget or descriptor emulation, and reverse engineering of the DualSense HID protocol and authentication. It is typically built in C with kernel or firmware-level tooling on a Raspberry Pi or microcontroller, and it requires embedded and security expertise.
