Bluetooth limitations. For other devices, some wireless controller features are not available when connected via Bluetooth: Touchpad is not supported. The color of the light bar cannot be changed. Rumble, motion sensor, and headphone jack audio connection are not supported. Was this article helpful? What went wrong? I found the article confusing. The article is out of date. Thank you! The design retains the classic shape of the DualShock controller, but includes joysticks and triggers better suited to modern shooters and action games than its predecessor—though not as sensationally exciting as the PS5's DualSense controller.
It takes a little bit more work to get the DualShock 4 working on PC, but things are made easier thanks to Steam, the PC gaming community, and an official optional Bluetooth dongle. In fact, if Steam is your go-to, native Steam support makes it just as plug-and-play as an Xbox gamepad. To start we'll walk you through getting your PS4 controller working with Steam.
Thanks to official Steam support, there's almost no setup involved in getting your PS4 controller working in Steam. Just be sure to pair or plug in your controller before opening Steam or any Steam games, otherwise your controller may not be recognized. If you run into any connection issues, closing and reopening Steam should do the trick. Otherwise, try using a USB 2. DualShock 4s are weird like that. Once connected, navigate to Steam's settings menu—under the top left dropdown—to get everything running smoothly.
Under the Controller tab, open General Controller Settings; you should see your controller listed under Detected Controllers. From here you can register it to your account, so it will remember the settings on any PC you log into.
Click Preferences to rename, or change rumble and lighting settings. You can also click Calibrate to fine-tune the joysticks and gyro if you feel the need. One important tip: click the check box next to PlayStation Configuration Support if you want to be able to do extra configuration of the controller on a per-game basis.
Back in the Controller tab of the Settings menu, you can configure your controller for Big Picture and Desktop usage, as well, and even set up Guide Button Chord Configuration. If you're just playing Steam games , you don't need to install anything else. First, Download the newest Microsoft. From the Settings tab, you can also set it to run at startup or remain active in the background. If you run into any issues, open this setup and follow the prompts to install any missing drivers.
DS4Windows works by reading your Dualshock 4 as though it were an Xbox controller. By default, it offers a great one-size-fits-all button setup.
So now that it's installed, your Dualshock 4 should behave like an Xbox controller, meaning it will work with any game with Xinput support—which is to say, most every modern PC game that supports gamepads.
Some games will give you the option, though. Look for that in settings. You do not need to remap anything, but if you want to change some buttons or adjust sensitivity without relying on in-game options, you can. Open the Profiles tab in DS4Windows. I do not recommend making a profile from scratch, but if you really want to, click New to start one up.
Otherwise, select the DualShock 4 profile and click Edit. This screen looks complicated, but it's actually pretty simple. Let's say you want to swap your bumpers and triggers. This opens another intimidating but simple page. Just click the button you want L2 to act as—in this case, L1.
Voila, your left trigger will now act as your left bumper. Repeat this process with the other triggers and bumpers to complete the change and prevent redundancy. You can save this button setup as a separate profile and swap between profiles in the Controllers tab. If you followed the Bluetooth installation steps above, you should be able to use your controller wirelessly. Luckily, you don't have to pair your controller every time you want to use it.
As long as you don't unplug the adapter, it will save its last connection, so you can just tap your controller's central Playstation button to reconnect it.
You may have to hunt for it or spend a little more than you would on a standard Bluetooth dongle, but it's worth it for its out-of-the-box functionality.
