Adaptive triggers on PlayStation controllers can create a noticeable resistance when pulling the triggers, which some players find distracting or even disadvantageous during fast-paced multiplayer matches in Battlefield 6. Disabling this feature on PC, however, is not as straightforward as it is on PlayStation consoles, and the in-game settings currently lack a direct toggle. Here’s how you can turn off adaptive triggers using the most effective available workarounds.

Using Steam Input to Disable Adaptive Triggers

Step 1: Open the Steam client on your PC and log into your account. Steam Input provides controller configuration options that can override or disable hardware features like adaptive triggers.

Step 2: Navigate to Steam > Settings > Controller. In the Controller settings, look for the option labeled “General Controller Settings.” This area allows you to manage how Steam interprets your connected controllers.

Step 3: Select "Enable Steam Input” for your PlayStation controller. Check the box for “PlayStation Configuration Support.” This setting allows Steam to remap and override certain controller functions.

Step 4: Connect your PlayStation controller (DualSense/PS5 controller) to your PC via USB or Bluetooth. Steam should recognize the controller and allow you to configure its settings.

Step 5: In your Steam Library, right-click Battlefield 6 and select Properties. Go to the “Controller” tab and set “Override for Battlefield 6” to “Enable Steam Input.”

Step 6: Launch Battlefield 6 through Steam. The game should now use Steam’s controller profile. In many cases, Steam Input will emulate an Xbox controller, which does not support adaptive triggers, effectively disabling the trigger resistance and haptic feedback. This approach has been reported to resolve the issue for most users.

Step 7: If you want to further customize or ensure haptics are off, go to Steam > Settings > Controller > Desktop Configuration and select your controller. Look for any settings related to “Trigger Haptics” or “Trigger Effect Intensity” and set them to “Off” if available.

Note: If your controller still displays adaptive trigger effects, try disconnecting and reconnecting, or restarting Steam and the game. Some users have noted that this method only works when launching Battlefield 6 directly from Steam and not from other platforms like EA App.

Alternative Method: Using Third-Party Software (SignalRGB)

Step 1: Download and install SignalRGB, a third-party software that manages lighting and haptic feedback for various devices, including PlayStation controllers.

Step 2: Connect your PS5 controller to your PC using a wired connection. SignalRGB’s haptic management features currently work only over USB, not Bluetooth.

Step 3: Open SignalRGB and navigate to the controller settings. Locate the haptics or adaptive trigger section. Turn off or lower the trigger effect intensity as desired. This disables the adaptive trigger resistance while playing Battlefield 6 or other games.

Note: SignalRGB may not be compatible with all setups, and results can vary depending on updates to the software or controller firmware. Always download software from the official website to avoid malware risks.

Other Workarounds and Limitations

Some users have attempted to reduce the impact of adaptive triggers by adjusting trigger dead zones or travel settings in the controller’s hardware configuration (such as on a DualSense Edge controller). Lowering the trigger travel can minimize resistance, but does not fully disable adaptive triggers.

Currently, Battlefield 6 does not offer an in-game setting to disable adaptive triggers when using PlayStation controllers on PC. While PlayStation consoles allow you to turn off adaptive triggers through system settings, this menu is not accessible on PC. If you play through the EA App instead of Steam, these workarounds may not be available, and you may need to wait for a future update or hotfix from the developers.

For those using PlayStation controllers via Bluetooth, Steam Input typically still works, but some users report inconsistent results. If you continue to experience issues, consider using a wired connection or checking community forums for updates and new solutions.


Disabling adaptive triggers in Battlefield 6 on PC requires a bit of setup through Steam Input or third-party software, as there’s no native toggle yet. Keep an eye on game updates, as a direct option may be added in future patches.
