If your PC has bluetooth DS4windows is pretty good. It also can hide the DS4 and make it seem like it's an Xbox controller so it's compatible with basicially all PC games with joypad support.

Ordered one yesterday and mine's been dispatched. Nice to finally get one, using remote play more and more these days. Rare to see them going under £16-£18 region.

Finally nabbed obe, great orice for it. Been looking for this instead of a regular Bluetooth adaptor for the simple reason it can send computer audio through the headphone jack of the DS4 as well as be wireless. That'll be a lifesaver for me.

Ah poo bums it's sold out! Been playing Hollow Knight on my laptop whilst the other half watches Love Island and this would have been perfect!

Picked this up earlier should be a good replacement over a very fake Xbox 360 controller

Can this be used in PS3 so we can use wireless controller for it??

Dualshock 4 already pairs wirelessly with a PS3 without this. If what you mean is can any bluetooth controller be used on a PS3 with this adaptor, then no.

Very strange.
I have been using DS4 Windows on Win7 flawlessly for over a year now.
Was playing helldivers last night (8 hours in), and the controller stopped working. And will no longer show up under DS4Windows. Cannot for the life of me figure it out.
Please don't make me use the Xbox One controller!

Yeh, its a good price but the native bluetooth pairing on OS X/MacOs via bluetooth works really well already. I also got one running on my Windows 10 machine too last summer without a lot of hassle using bluetooth for Steam (it was a while back so sorry I can't walk anyone through it) so not really a necessity if you have bluetooth.
Does anyone know if using the dongle bypasses the issues with input mapping on Windows though (where its native API treats all controllers as if they were xbox controllers so inputs aren't always correct in certain games)?

I was gonna get this for use on Steam until someone said it only connects one controller, which seems to be the case. I'd rather have the ps4 controller over Xbox but I don't get the point of this tbh. Also it looks to have a blue light on it which I'm not keen on.

If you don't buy this adapter the Dualshock even connects to a PS4 for seemless gameplay, amazing ;p

I believe this can only connect one DS4 controller? Check before you buy.
Whereas a cheap bluetooth dongle I picked up for a few pounds (delivered) from Amazon using DS4 pairs a bunch of devices, I've used 2 DS4 controllers and one XBone controller at once on my machine. Steam will recognise the PS4 controller just fine for many games, and for others the slightly awkward DS4Windows does the trick.
Just make sure this is really what you want before you buy, videos and such. It wasn't the right thing for me.

You're right but this is mainly for people who use Remote Play on PC or Playstation Now. A standard Bluetooth dongle doesn't work with them unfortunately.
But of course they couldn't just release the official DS4 driver could they? Not much money in that!

This is insanely hot. Been using mine with the dualshock 4 through steam and it's flawless.

yep the Steam link has built in bluetooth and that's what the DS4 uses

11 Jul 171#12
Does this work with the steam link?
EDIT: Seems you don't need anything extra to pair with the steam link!
Jonnyblock to lukec123

A steam link pairs with a DS4 controller by itself?
Moss87
11 Jul 17#33
so this only works with the steaming services or dose it work with all games like the xbox controller?
matt139
11 Jul 17#30
Is this the same as using a xbox controller on pc? As in games will recognise the ds4 as a 360/x1 pad?
ST3123 to matt139
11 Jul 17#32
That is my understanding yes, in fact from what people say about native steam support and better Windows support and such it might be even better than the Xbox pad in Windows as though the 360 pad used to be really good for me there have always been some games that inexplicably do weird things with the Xbox One controller on. Like as I mentioned the centering of the sticks being screwed up, admittedly these were smaller indie titles not AAA games but they support the 360 pad so no reason the XB1 controller shouldn't work at least the same.

Excellent price. Ps4 pad is now supported as a Bluetooth controller as standard. I use it all the time.
The best use for this is if you remote play on the PC and want to use the dualshock. 4 wirelessly.

Yeah Steam controller would be the ideal, but they never seem to enjoy much discount and the PS4 controllers are effectively free in my case with me already having a PS4. Yeah I think it will be good for twin stick shooters, which is one of my favourite genres, they are very hit and miss on the Xbox One controller thanks to the weird alignment/centering glitch it has where some games read the stick as constantly pressed in a direction. Not the controller as it works fine on an Xbox One and some PC games...

Agreed, have been doing this for a while. Though must say the crappy dongle I have has poor range and is quite flaky. DS4windows can be tricky to operate too. Tempted to get one of these to simplify the process.

11 Jul 17#11
Ordered and heated. Is there any easy way to set this controller up so you can use the left stick or touchpad for the mouse pointer in games that aren't natively controller friendly e.g. point n click adventures or strategy games? Would make a nice cheap alternative to a steam controller if that could be done....
daze24 to ST3123
11 Jul 17#21
But you have a mouse???
Pretty sure it's possible, ive disabled folks do similar
lomax to ST3123
11 Jul 17#24
Ds4 windows lets you use the touchpad as a mouse. It's not very comfortable to use though a steam controller would be much better. It's also better for first and third person shooters. I generally only use the ds4 for games where you can use the dpad to move or twin stick shooters.

i use a program called xpadder. think it works with ps4 pad

11 Jul 17#22
Sure I have a mouse on my main PC, but I have a second system I use in the living room as a HTPC. I use one of these with it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Wireless-Keyboard-Windows-Android/dp/B00XJ3LVPI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499783617 which is alright for basic duties but I just don't find it that comfortable for games that would normally use the mouse, don't think it quite has the accuracy or else I'm just too used to having a physical mouse vs tapping and thought a controller might 'feel' better for that kind of thing....

Sorry I should've been clearer. Without this adapter you can't use Remote Play with a DS4 wirelessly on a Mac

Ds4windows can be a little picky with the bluetooth adapters it works with. It works flawlessly with the bluetooth adapter I already had(it's just a cheap one from ebay or amazon I forget which one).
If you don't already have a bluetooth adapter you may as well get this. You can still use DS4windows to make it compatible with all games that support a 360 controller. Also with steams built in support for DS4's compatibility is less of an issue but I found the steam support a little buggy the last time I tried it.
