[Feature Request]: Adding support for wireless DS3 pressure sensitivity on Linux/macOS

[omar-mahboubi]

Description

Pressure sensitivity on the DualShock 3 is already supported on Linux/macOS when the controller is connected through USB (wired). Switching to Bluetooth however, none of the pressure-sensitive buttons work (all the extra axis are no longer there).

Reason

Convenience: e.g. ability to plug the computer into a TV for a more couch gaming experience for games that require it (GT4, MGS2/3, etc...)

Examples

Already existing support for wired mode.

I'm aware that this is a limitation of SDL2 (i think). Now that SDL3 has been released, will implementing it fix this issue?

[TellowKrinkle]

Can you check if this is fixed by #12311?

can confirm that updating to SDL3 fixed the issue; pressure sensitivity now works in Bluetooth mode as well (at least on Linux)

[omar-mahboubi]

when will SDL3 be merged btw?
