PC players using PS4 controller

[Shiki_Lockhart]

I would recommend InputMapper for PS4 controller. The installer would be all you need. You won't need the xbox controller driver or anything else, unlike some of the other ps4 controller softwares.

It's easy to use and you can customise everything, including the colour indicator and there is an advanced macro builder.

And yes, the vibration works pretty reliably.

This one is the best. And it is the update of motionjoy that become DS4tool and now this of same group. If you use old one I recommend to switch to this. The bonus is that you can even use the touch to use mouse and other buttons while old program you couldn't.

PS: I used them all in order as they were updating.

I use SCP server. It's really easy.

If you have bluetooth on your computer you can do it wirelessly even.

Using DS4 Tool. Which is in fact just a wrapper to SCP.

i use PS4 controller on the PC natively. though you have to go and customize the CFG file in your documents for it... the PS4 controller is native plug and play. what it does not do is set the buttons in the proper positions. so you have to go into the CFG and look for every line for the Alias.

so when you open it in notepad look for the <game_pad settings> and find Alias.

copy this line and replace the whole string line.

Alias {90,91,88,89,41,40,32,33,73,72,48,49,3,2,1,0,4,6,10,5,7,11,9,8}

after that. turn off what you used before and the PS4 controller will be native plug and play.

sadly if you connect any other controller or software to change button layout it will reset.

after that. turn off what you used before and the PS4 controller will be native plug and play.

sadly if you connect any other controller back to it. it resets.

This is what I used when I played on PC didn't have to use any third party program and was able to use bluetooth for wireless gameplay also.

This... Not sure what this business about third party programs are. The PS4 controller is plug and play.

yeah it's plug & play, but it's functioning as a generic PC controller with messed up default mapping. FFXIV allows us to remap the buttons but some other games don't. some of them don't even support anything but X360 controller so these 3rd pt software are like a life savior to us DS4 on PC users. if you plan to use DS4 as your main PC controller you should have one of these software.

Thanks for the replies, went with scpserver and the vibration now works!

Only question is, do you have to run scp server when you need it to work?

I bought a Mayflash wireless PS3 adaptor from Amazon for 15.00 - it works perfectly fine without any clunky software to configure.
