More info about v3.1:

Profiles now save with a .dsx file extension, making them easy to manage and share right from File Explorer. Plus, they’re no longer tied to a specific device, meaning you can set up and tweak profiles without even having a controller connected.
The haptics system got a big upgrade in v3.1.0, with new modes and more control over feedback for an even better experience:

• Multi-Mode Activation: You can now activate multiple haptic modes at once, combining effects for a richer feel.
  
• Touchpad to Haptics: Maps touchpad movement to haptic feedback, adding a new layer of interaction.
  
• Audio to Haptics with Channel Mapping: Link audio channels directly to the haptic feedback – if your game or app has left/right channel audio, DSX can map that to left/right haptics for a more immersive experience.

This is your new home for device details and settings. Here’s what’s included:

• Device Info and Real-Time Feedback: Get a live view of everything happening with your controller – trigger and joystick feedback, touchpad, and motion sensor data.

It’s now set up to support both DSX v2 mods and any new mods made for v3.1+, so you’ll be covered whether you’re using your old favorites or exploring fresh mods down the line. There’s a new Mod System page coming soon to make browsing and adding mods way easier.
You’ll find advanced options for combos where they activate like keyboard keys (Alt + Tab), button passthrough, and a turbo feature that also effects the button mappings added.
Steam achievements are fully working now, and we’re adding Steam Workshop so you can share profiles with the community in the future.

• Gyroscope and Accelerometer Calibration: Motion controls are set with proper passthrough for DualShock and DualSense emulations, and we’re planning adjustments for deadzones and motion-to-mouse features soon.
  
• Shortcut Actions: Quick actions for switching Adaptive Triggers presets, LED presets, switching touchpad, and joystick modes. Enabling windows screen saver, and more makes it easier to customize on the fly.
  
• Joystick to Mouse: Now you can map joystick movement to control the mouse, giving you a new way to navigate both in-game and on your desktop.
