In order to have proper functionality of the DualSense controller, you have to check the games Steam page to ensure that it supports it fully AND, it needs to be wired, as shown in the screenshot below. Won't work properly over Bluetooth. Most games you'll just see something like "Your PlayStation controller" meaning it doesn't support DualSense features. 

As for button inputs, I believe you have to go to the properties of the game and go to the Controller tab, and disable Steam input to get the proper button layout.

That's annoying, I was hoping it would work seamlessly like the Xbox controller across basically every game.

That's the benefit of Windows and Xbox being so tightly integrated. You have native Xbox controller support. 

PlayStation not so much. Controllers have to be added by the platform holder, in this case Steam, and even then, PlayStation uses proprietary wireless tech that's only available in the PS5. So unless Sony releases a separate dongle for PC for the DualSense controller to communicate with, wired will be the only way to have full functionality. Even with that, it's still a game to game basis.
