On an Ubuntu system the package libhidapi-dev
is required.
sudo apt install libhidapi-dev

from pydualsense import pydualsense, TriggerModes
def cross_pressed(state):
print(state)
ds = pydualsense() # open controller
ds.init() # initialize controller
ds.cross_pressed += cross_pressed
ds.light.setColorI(255,0,0) # set touchpad color to red
ds.triggerL.setMode(TriggerModes.Rigid)
ds.triggerL.setForce(1, 255)
ds.close() # closing the controller
