I saw this video [0] from the creator of this project the other day. Here he shows how to connect a USB joystick with a playstation access controller [1] by mapping from USB to 3.5mm analog output.

I found this because I was looking for something else for the access controller. It's basically the other way around: I want to use the controller on a mac and need to remap it's outputs to something useful. I don't have a playstation and apparently you need one to remap the controller keys once before plugging it in to a PC, otherwise only 3 out of 8 buttons will send something that is recognized as USB HID

You could totally use HID Remapper to do what you want.

The PlayStation Access Controller has profiles that can be configured from a PS5 as you say, but regardless of the current profile or mapping, it always sends the raw button/joystick states in the report. They're not properly exposed in the report descriptor, but they're there. You would have to use what HID Remapper calls "custom usages" to get to this raw data. I can assist you with that if you're interested. Though it might be easier to find someone with a PS5 for the one time setup.
