How to Use the PS4 Controller on your Mac or PC

Make Use Of: Sony made a host of improvements to their controller, with the PlayStation 4′s DualShock 4. It seems slightly smaller, but the handholds are thicker, giving it a markedly more comfortable grip. The joysticks have been modified too, now convex and with a button click that’s easier to trigger. These and other changes make the DualShock 4 controller a joy to use. While we wait for PlayStation 4 games to grow in number, we’ll also show you how to use the DualShock 4 on your Mac or PC.

Does the Wireless Audio work over Bluetooth? If so I am doing this!

what about the Xbox one controller?

incendy354423d ago

There is a driver out there for the X1 controller, but it is pretty hacked together. Requires USB connection. Microsoft is working on an official driver, but it isn't out yet.

Activemessiah4423d ago

It would be nice if MS released an official driver though... a lot of PC gamers would buy it instantly to upgrade from the 360 pad.

@Linchpin: They are. Just not ready yet.

WTF is this for?

PS4 is just plug and play on windows.

itBourne4423d ago (Edited 4423d ago )

No it is not, sure your PC will recognize it... But most games are not compatible with it, hence fooling the PC into thinking it is a 360 controller.

LAWSON724423d ago

I dont think fooling is the correct term. I have no experience with using a DS controller on PC, but technically I believe it emulates an Xbox controller or installs a custom driver that has a custom version of Xinput. When you say fooling it is like saying the controller is not allowed to be used so it fools the PC into thinking it is a Xbox controller, which I dont think is the case or is at least not bearly that simple.

LAWSON724423d ago (Edited 4423d ago )

Sure it is however most games use Xinput which is not supported by this controller. It can only provide basic input with directinput which has limited support. That is why people need tools like X360ce and that popular dualshock one that I forget the name of.

Or considering how much most of us spend on gaming, you could just buy this and call it a day. http://controllermax.com/

Macs are PC, I know mind=blown. I hope for the day when everyone just says Windows and Mac that will never come. It really is not a big deal but I just think is stupid,mainly because why classify Windows PCs as PCs when there are also Linux PC.

To make my point starting with what this problem leads to. This articles first step is plug it into a PC, then the next steps are for Window PCs only. This idea that Windows = all PCs needs to stop, but as I said it never will, lol.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing16d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9216d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit16d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing16d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9216d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
