The DualShock 4 is a great controller, but it’s designed specifically for the Sony PlayStation 4. That means, at least on paper, that it’s not meant to be used with PC games. Fear not, since PCs are such powerful and flexible systems, you can get nearly any peripheral to work on them with a little effort. Here’s how to connect a DualShock 4 controller to your PC.

The Connection Itself

There are two ways to connect a DualShock 4 to your gaming rig. You can go the wired or wireless routes, but setting up those connections is a bit different than how you would do it on a PlayStation 4 console.

The Wired Method

  • Plug your controller into a USB port with a USB-to-micro-USB cable.

  • That’s it, as far as connecting the controller goes. More on getting it to work in a bit.

  • The Bluetooth Method

  • With the DualShock 4 turned off (You’ll know by the deactivated light bar), press and hold the PlayStation and Share buttons for three seconds until the light bar starts double flashing.

  • Access the Bluetooth menu on your PC via the system tray.

  • Click “Add Bluetooth or other device.”

  • Click “Bluetooth.”

  • Select the DualShock 4 controller from the list that pops up.

  • Getting the Gamepad to Work

    Connecting the controller is only the start of the process, due to how the DualShock 4 communicates with your PC. Most current Windows games use Microsoft’s XInput, an interface that processes Xbox 360 and Xbox One controller inputs. The DualShock 4 doesn’t send XInput commands, so a wrapper is needed to translate its inputs into something your PC can giảm giá with easier. There are two good options: DS4Windows and Steam’s controller compatibility settings.

    The Comprehensive Way: DS4Windows

    DS4Windows is a freeware program that tricks your PC into thinking an Xbox 360 controller is connected, instead of a DualShock 4. Follow these steps to get it to work.

  • Download DS4Windows and unzip it to a directory.

  • Open DS4Windows.exe in the directory you just unzipped.

  • Click “Install ViGEmBus Driver.”

  • Follow the steps in the driver installer. This installs a multipurpose gamepad driver to your system that DS4Windows uses to get the DualShock 4 to work.

  • Click “Finished.”

  • Connect your DualShock 4 to your PC.

  • The controller should show up under the Controllers tab. Wait a minute to make sure all of the necessary drivers show up. Once Windows pops up a message saying it has connected a new Xbox 360 controller, you’re ready to play!

  • What Else Can You Do With DS4Windows?

    By default, the DualShock 4 acts like an Xbox 360 controller, with the touchpad functioning as a mouse. That said, DS4Windows offers more options. To start, click the Profiles tab and double-click the Default profile (or create your own new profile). This causes an outline of the DualShock 4 to appear surrounded by various settings. Here, you can remap the physical controls, program the touchpad and motion controls to act in different ways, adjust rumble settings, and tweak the analog sticks’ dead zones and movement curves. You can even change the light bar’s color.

    DS4Windows offers many more options for getting your DualShock 4 to feel good on your PC. You shouldn’t have to open these settings, because most games will behave properly after you set the software up the first time.

    The (Potentially) Easier Way: Steam

    If your favorite games are on Steam, they’ll work with the DualShock 4 with a quick tweak.

  • Go to the Settings menu in Steam (under Steam on the taskbar).

  • Select the Controller menu.

  • Click “General Controller Settings.”

  • Check the box marked “PlayStation Configuration Support.”

  • Connect the DualShock 4 to your PC.

  • Steam’s DualShock 4 compatibility is pretty hit-or-miss, and this technique obviously won’t work with non-Steam games. As a result, you may have better luck simply using DS4Windows.

    Using the DualShock 4 PS4 controller on PC isn’t to everyone’s taste. We commend you for choosing to live the analogue life, rather than submit to the convoluted hand placement of a keyboard gamer.

    Of all the options out there, the PS4 controller has become one of the team’s favourite PC gaming controllers, not least because it feels great in your hands. 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.

    Unfortunately, the DualShock 4’s use of generic DirectInput drivers—as opposed to XInput that the Xbox controllers use—means using a PS4 controller on PC isn’t quite as easy as plugging in an Xbox gamepad. 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 tư vấn 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. If you want to play games that aren’t on Steam with your DualShock 4, DS4Windows is the tool for you.

    Setup

    What you need

    Hardware 

    • Dualshock 4 PS4 controller
    • A micro-USB cable
    • (Optional) Dualshock 4 USB wireless Bluetooth adapter

    Software 

    Working with Steam

    Using a PS4 controller in Steam

  • Open Steam
  • Go to Settings in top left dropdown
  • Open Controller tab
  • Click General Controller Settings
  • Register device to your account
  • Change preferences
  • Calibrate joysticks
  • Tick PlayStation Configuration Support
  • Remap from Settings Controller tab/in trò chơi
  • Thanks to official Steam tư vấn, 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 2.0 port instead of a USB 3.0 port. 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-trò chơi 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.

    Installing DS4Windows

    How to install DS4Windows for non-steam gaming

    If you’re just playing Steam games, you don’t need to install anything else.

    First, Download the newest Microsoft .NET Framework. If you’re still stuck running Windows 7, install the Xbox 360 controller driver next. This driver is included with Windows 8 and 10.

    Before you do anything else, plug in your PS4 controller with a micro-USB directly to your PC, or pair it through the Bluetooth menu, or with a USB wireless adapter. 

    Download and extract newest DS4Windows .zip file next, and open it up. You can ignore the DS4Updater if you already have the newest version. 

    Any controllers you’ve connected will be displayed under the Controllers tab. If not, close DS4Windows, reconnect your controller, then re-open the software. Don’t worry about your controller’s ID number, we won’t be needing it.

    Next, open the Settings tab in DS4Windows to configure a few things. Make sure the Hide DS4 Controller box is checked. This will prevent DS4Windows from conflicting with any trò chơi’s default controller settings. For the same reason, make sure Use Xinput Ports is set to one. 

    From the Settings tab, you can also set DS4Windows to run at startup, or remain active in the background. You can also update DS4Windows directly from this tab by clicking Check for Update Now at the bottom left. Above that, you’ll see Controller/Driver Setup. 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 360 controller. That means you won’t get the correct Square/X/Triangle/Circle button icons by default in most games. Some games will give you the option to change, but either way, it’ll now work with any trò chơi that has Xinput tư vấn—i.e. most every modern PC trò chơi that supports gamepads.

    You don’t have to remap anything, but if you want to change some buttons or adjust sensitivity outside of in-trò chơi menus, just open the Profiles tab in DS4Windows. If you’re feeling confident, click New to start a new profile, though this is easier said than done. Otherwise, select the DualShock 4 profile and click Edit.

    Let’s say you want to swap your bumpers and triggers. First, find L1/R1 and L2/R2 in the scroll wheel in the Controls section, or just click them on the virtual controller. You want to swap L1 with L2 and R1 with R2, so start by clicking L2.

    Then, 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.

    Connect via Bluetooth

    How to connect your PS4 controller via Bluetooth

  • Hold controller’s Share and PS button until it flashes
  • Push dongle button until it starts flashing
  • Or, add your controller in your PC’s Bluetooth menu
  • Pairing should happen automatically
  • Don’t unplug the adapter, it’ll save the last connection
  • To connect your PS4 controller via Bluetooth, simply hold the small Share button and the central circular button simultaneously until the controller’s backlight starts flashing, then push on the end of the adapter until it starts flashing. Once both are flashing, they will automatically pair after a few seconds.

    For a PC with Bluetooth built-in, just navigate to the Bluetooth menu and select your controller from the Add Bluetooth devices list once it’s started flashing.

    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. 

    The official Sony DualShock 4 USB wireless adapter is the simplest Bluetooth option. 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.
