I'm wanting to play FFXIV on my PC using a controller, both controllers I use now (Xbox One and general Mad Katz) do not function correctly as expected when playing FFXIV, the action bars don't switch to the controller format. I've read the Dual Shock will "pickup" the game controls quite easily because of the PS4 port.

Is using the DS4 controller on the PC pretty straight forward, I'm guessing just tweaking controls in the options menu. Dozens of videos state you have to go through multiple programs to get it to "read" like a Xbox controller for other games. I JUST want to play with the dual shock in FFXIV.

TL;DR: If I go buy a Dual Shock from Gamestop today can I plug it in and play with it on my PC with little to no messing with additional work?
