ARK: Survival Ascended (PS5 Remote Play)
Built from ARK's own control table, so left mouse is the R2 attack, right mouse the L2 aim, E is the Triangle use and mount, and Square's double job of reloading and opening someone else's inventory sits on both R and F. I opens your own inventory on Circle and T holds that same button for the whistle wheel, 1 to 4 sit on the d-pad a pad uses for hotbar items, and M opens the map through the touchpad. Crouch is on C and sprint on Shift, where a pad clicks its right and left sticks, and the mouse turns at 38 cm per 360 which drops to 0.75 of that while right mouse holds an aim.

Setting this up for PS5 Remote Play
This preset drives a virtual DualShock 4 from your keyboard and mouse, so ARK Survival Ascended reads an ordinary controller. Buttons, sticks and triggers are proven end to end through chiaki-ng on a real PS5. The touchpad binds are here because the output IS a DualShock 4, but a touchpad press arriving over Remote Play has not been measured yet, so treat those binds as untested.
Install a Remote Play client on this PC and pair it with your PS5. These presets are built and tested against chiaki-ng.
In the Remote Play client, turn OFF its own keyboard and controller mapping, and unplug or hide any controller you are not using. The client merges every input it can see with this one, so anything left connected fights your binds.
In OmniControl, set the Emulation output to DualShock 4 and start it.
Import this pack, then turn on Drive a Controller.
Start the Remote Play client and connect. It picks up the virtual DualShock 4 the same way it would a real pad plugged into this PC.
Launch ARK Survival Ascended on the console and play.
Aim is tuned to 38 cm per 360. If that feels fast or slow for your mouse, change it on the Drive a Controller page - everything else in the preset stays as it is.
If the character drifts or walks by itself, a real controller is still connected and the client is merging it with this one. OmniControl's Hide my controller fixes that, or unplug it.
Remote Play streams video, so there is always some delay between your hand and the screen. A wired connection to the console does more for that than any setting here.
What this pack changes

Have the app installed? Use Open in OmniControl below - it jumps straight to the import preview. Otherwise:
- Open OmniControl and go to Profiles (or Game Packs).
- Click Import, then paste the code above into the share-code box.
- Preview what it changes, then create a profile from it.
Importing only ever creates a NEW profile - your existing profiles are never touched.
