Despite being fine wirelessly on my PS5, both my DS4 and DualSense die after about an hour of bluetooth connection to Windows 10, with DS4Windows showing them as draining and then dead accordingly. Is this normal? They're supposed to last like eight hours, right? I even have their lightbars disabled.

It's not normal. You say that they coincidently stop working. Do you mean that both of them stop working at the same time? If so, then it's probably not the battery charge that is the issue. More likely a communication fault.

Sorry, I worded that poorly. I meant either controller (not connected at the same time as each other) disconnects from Windows and needs to be recharged in accordance to DS4Windows displaying them as dead,

Okay. What version of DS4Windows do you have? I'd recommend trying a fresh reinstall with new drivers and updated software to see if that fixes things. Newest version is 3.0.18

Is the battery normal right now? What exactly did you update aside from DS4WINDOWS?

Yeah, I am seeing some poor battery life from my PS5 controller when using it to bluetooth to the PC.
I can't pinpoint when it was better, but v3.3.3 seems to be harsh.

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    @BigOnYa i was legitimately trying to scratch my leg, this is reminding me of that cylinder post

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be

    Lol nahhh it's because I usually get what they want on the first date lol
