How do I hook up my PS4 controller to play FFXIV on my PC?

[Zumi]

I am kind of confused on how you hook up a PS4 controller to PC to play FFXIV.

What bluetooth adapter do I have to buy for PC to get the PS4 controller to work with FFXIV? I see the PS4 blue tooth adapter for PC but it costs around 60-100$ I don't think they are made anymore so people are selling them used for around 60 or more. Is there a different one you can get to use the controller with FFXIV.

Yes, the bluetooth adaptor is a bit rare nowadays. If it was just the wired PS4 controller, just plug into your PC and away you go. The FFXIV architecture and software is designed to recognize the controller when you do this... however, trying to play wirelessly is another matter and I believe you'd have to shell out for the adapter

I just bought a 10 dollar usb bluetooth thing off amazon and it worked with that

If your PC automatically has Bluetooth you can just use that.
Mine didn't and I bought a Bluetooth adapter for 10-12 €. I get some disconnects with it though, so I always use my USB cable when doing extreme or savage content.
So you may have to try out some Bluetooth adapter to know which one works well.

If you have a micro usb cable for your PS4 controller you can just put it on your PC. The game will recognize it.

i just use my samsung usb phone cable to connect my ps4 controller and pc , works good for me

Any MicroUSB to USB cable should do, the console itself should have come with one as the controller kind of uses MicroUSB to recharge the battery...
