How to connect DualShock 4 controller to a PC

"I had a pleasure to hold a lot of controllers, but DualShock 4 is without a doubt my favorite. Not only because of the shape and the arrangement of buttons, but also because of pure practicality. Firstly - it’s compatible with PlayStation 3, so when I want to play a game on the older generation, I don’t have to get used to a different controller. Secondly – it does an excellent job as a PC controller, and the touchpad is a salvation in games that don’t have native support for controllers and require frequent clicking on some icons or windows."

My DualShock 4 works perfectly with my MacBook Pro via bluetooth wireless.

And now I just discovered that we can wirelessly wake up the PS3 with the DualShock 4's PS button.

JackGraal4190d ago

Oh, interesting. So it's even more practical than I thought.

I recently discovered that if you plug in the DS4 with a USB cable it works automatically in AC: Unity and Far Cry 4 without using any extra software. It even has the correct button icons in game. Pretty awesome. I hope more devs do this.

OculusRift4190d ago

What? Are you being serious.. That must be a new update because when I plug in my controller directly into the game with no software it just shows me general gamepad buttons like A and B it doesn't show X, square, triangle, etc.. Weird.

1. Install DS4Windows (DSDCS) program
2. Install bluetooth adapter
3. hold Share+PSButton, then release share...3 sec latter ps button slowly (If you want to avoid turning PS4 ON) Your PS4 light will start blinking WHITE
4. Open Bluetooth scan, there will be Wireless Controller, double click and !!!IMPORTANT!!! PAIR with "0000" four zero-s password or it won't work

HOPE THIS HELPS

you have to have bluetooth version 4.0 or maybe not that high, but it doesn't work with one of my old bluetooth dongles.

JackGraal4190d ago

My old adapter stopped working so I bought a new one with Bluteooth version 2.1 + EDR and it works fine with DS4.

Xbone controller works better with PC. It has native drivers.

dragon824190d ago

My computer hits the blue screen of death every time I plug in my 360 PC controller. It has never worked with this PC. I used it all the time with my old one. I tried downloading new drivers for it and no help.

rodiabloalmeida4190d ago

There is something wrong with your rig. Don't blame the controller.

Varmint4189d ago

It's a driver conflict that causes the BSOD. I found I couldn't have Dualshock 3 drivers and 360 controller drivers installed at the same time because it would cause my computer to BSOD as soon as I plugged in the 360 controller. Solution was simply to remove the DS3 drivers.

@rodiabloalmeida

I never blamed the controller. All I said was that this PC hates it. Calm down.

@Varmint

Thank you for a real comment with helpful information. +bub

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.

Jingsing13d 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.

Tanktopmaster9213d ago

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

S2Killinit13d ago

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

Jingsing13d 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.

Tanktopmaster9213d 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
