This thread is all about the DualSense and using it on Android devices (Phones/Tablets)

CURRENT ISSUES ON ANDROID:
So I tried the DualSense on android and it has a lot of issues with many apps (most apps).
the issue at hand is that android runs it in Dualshock 4 Type 2 Mode, which means that buttons are mapped all wrong. (Square is X, X is Circle, and I think Share is R2 etc.)
This makes it basically unusable on Xbox Remote Play or xCloud as well as most games as they all require DualShock 4 Type 1 Mode (I tested Max Payne and GTA VC). it will be detected but button mappings are so wrong that most games are not playable that way.
So for starters, it would be nice if someone had a possible fix for this that doesn't require Root access!

MAKESHIFT FIX THAT WORKS WITH ANDROID GAMES BUT NOT XBOX REMOTE PLAY OR XCLOUD:
Connect your DualSense via Bluetooth to your device.
Download the App "External Keyboard Helper Demo" and map all buttons manually to the corresponding Xbox Counterparts. (I found a Tutorial using a DS4, but the DualSense works the same)
PROS: Works with many Android games, Max Payne and GTA work flawlessly this way
CONS: Does not work with xCloud or Xbox Remote Play, you have to change virtual keyboard settings every time you want to use it and change them back afterwards as it functions as a virtual keyboard

HOW TO USE THE DUALSENSE CONTROLLER ON PS4 USING AN ANDROID DEVICE:
Connect your DualSense via Bluetooth to your device.
Download the App "PSPad - Mobile PS4 DualShock Gamepad" and follow the steps in the app to connect it to your PS4.
PROS: Works with PS4 with correct button-mapping out of the box, it works with many controllers while the official app requires a DualShock 4 (a wired one even on everything below Android 10)
CONS: Input Lag (it uses the PS4 remote play codec which has relatively high input latency sadly), doesn't support any advanced features like Rumble, Sixaxis or the Touchpad
EDIT: when connecting it using a USB connection the latency is greatly reduced
