A useful pick in the Superhive library for anyone wanting to drive Blender navigation from a PS5 controller. A demo video is available.

What is Ps5 Controller?

PS5 Controller for Blender brings console-style input to Blender through a dual stick control system. The left stick handles object movement and positioning while the right stick manages rotation, with axis-based navigation and adjustable deadzone settings. Dedicated camera controls map the Circle button to camera view and the L1 button back to normal perspective view, alongside direct camera object control.

Settings are customizable, covering adjustable movement speed, turn sensitivity, boost multiplier options, and custom speed presets. The add-on integrates with a one-click setup, a UI panel, and a real-time response system, and runs with native Windows support.

The add-on is listed for uses including cinematic scene navigation, precise camera operation, detailed object manipulation, smooth animation previews, interactive scene exploration, virtual set scouting, and architecture walkthroughs. The package includes the add-on as a .py file, a documentation PDF, and a quick start guide, with regular updates and email support offered by the developer.
