If you're finding that the PS4 controller isn't working with compatible games, then that's because it can be a bit hit and miss. It's not necessary, but it helps for a smoother experience. Playing with Steam's Big Picture Mode is also advised, as it makes the application easier to use with a controller. You can see if a game has controller support by going to the game's Steam page and looking at the panel on the far-right side of the page, just to the right of the game's pricing. Just ensure that the games you're wanting to play are compatible with controller support. Once this is done, simply plug your PS4 controller to the PC via micro-USB and you're good to go. This is perhaps your easiest and most efficient method for connecting your PS4 controller to your PC.Įnsure your Steam App is up to date to the latest client. The DualShock 4 can also be used for a wide array of games across many launchers, such Steam, Origin, Epic Store, and more. Once connected, the PS4 controller is incredibly easy to use on PC you can even configure the trackpad as a workable mouse! Luckily, it's simpler than you might think.
I've only seen a few cases where the games even bothered to use the Sony style buttons, and even then most were from mods.While the initial process for connecting an Xbox Controller to your PC isn't too strenuous, connecting a PS4 controller isn't as intuitive.
In many cases that I used to see though, a game either had keyboard button prompts, Xbox 360 button prompts, or generic button prompts like it was a generic controller with 1, 2, 3, etc on the buttons. If the game supports DirectInput, you can turn off InputMapper and let Steam utilize the controller as a PS4 controller, and see if the game will give you the right buttons then. Any time a game gives you those buttons, it's 100% controlled by the game. Everyone uses those prompts because they just assume it's a 360 pad. When Xinput came around big time for controllers on PC, was when the 360 controller was popular, and that's just stuck around. DInput is older and less compatible now days. The reason why the PC thinks it's a 360 controller, is because it's telling the PS4 controller to not be DirectInput and be Xinput, so everything can use it. Some games will allow you to change the buttons in their settings, or some games will even have mods to swap those out (Resident Evil 4 and Dark Souls come to mind).
