The Logitech X52 (and Extreme 3D Pro) works on PS5 using two adapters: Brook Gaming Wingman FGC 2 and hid-remapper. The hid-remapper board converts the joystick to look like a gamepad. The FGC 2 adapter makes the hid-remapper gamepad look like a DualSense gamepad.
Other joysticks may or may not work. The Thrustmaster T.16000 does not work with the Feather board.

Scroll down past the list of files to see the instructions. Load the hid-remapper firmware into the Feather board.
The X52 configuration can be loaded from this JSON file. Using the JSON file is faster than setting the mappings one line at a time.
Plug the Feather board into the computer. Open Chrome to hid-remapper-config.
In the configuration screen, use the "Open device" button to open the Feather board. Click on Actions then "Import JSON". Specify the x522dsgamepad.json file. Next click on the "Save to device" button.
Unplug the Feather board and plug it back in to make sure it is using the latest configuration. Plug the joystick into the Feather board.
The X52 has more controls than a gamepad so only a subset can be mapped. Mapping to a gamepad has the advantage of making the X52 usable in games that do not support joysticks.

The big joystick X and Y axes control the gamepad left thumb stick axes. The big joystick twist/yaw axis controls the gamepad right thumb stick X axis (look left and right).
On the throttle, the top rotary dial controls the gamepad L2 axis. The side rotary dial controls the R2 axis. The big throttle controls the gamepad right thumb stick Y axis (look up/down).
Buttons and axes mapping can be changed using the web interface.
Be sure to map the PS button because PS5 requires this button to recognize the controller. PS = PlayStation logo.

Set the "Emulated device type" to "PS4 arcade stick" and the "Input labels" to "gamepad".

Every control is available. The large dpad on the stick requires special handling but it works. See Expression 1 and Register 1 to 4 in the mapping tab.
The Logitech Extreme 3D Pro (LE3DP) also works but it has fewer controls. The throttle slider does not work.
The LE3DP configuration can be loaded from this JSON file. Using the JSON file is faster than setting the mappings one line at a time.

The big joystick X and Y axes control the gamepad left thumb stick axes. The big joystick twist/yaw axis controls the gamepad right thumb stick X axis (look left and right). The big joystick dpad up/down positions control the gamepad right thumb stick Y axis (look up/down). Buttons can be mapped as needed for the game.
Be sure to map the PS button because PS5 requires this button to recognize the controller. PS = PlayStation logo.
The joystick throttle slider cannot be mapped. Button 54 is a bug so do not use.
