Default How to use a PS4 DualShock controller on a PC

The keyboards and mouse are the most standard pieces of accessories for PC users, and are extremely versatile. But sometimes there is no alternative for the analog controller for playing over the shoulder adventure games. The last time we talked about how to use an Xbox controller on PC, and this time around we will be explaining how a Sony PS4 DualShock controller can be used with a PC.

The PS4*DualShock controller is an excellent piece of hardware that makes gameplay a cinch. And unlike the Xbox controller, the PS4 ones don’t exactly work as plug and play devices. You will need third-party software like*DS4Windows to run it. What the software essentially does is trick Windows 10 into thinking that the PS4 controller is actually an Xbox controller, since that is the one supported. The controller can then be connected using a micro-USB cable or Bluetooth.
