If you prefer to fine tune your peripherals, DS4Windows is for you. You can use the touchpad as a mouse, set the lightbar to change to reflect battery power, or turn it off completely, and even set and switch between profiles that you can configure for your controller. Using DS4Windows lets you customise your Dualshock 4 experience on PC to a significant degree.
Press and hold the home button to turn it on and away you go. As soon as it’s plugged into your PC, the controller will be ready to use. Now, you’ll need to connect your Dualshock 4 controller via micro USB or a Bluetooth dongle - the latter will require pairing. You’ll be presented with a pop-up window that will give you instructions on how to install the driver. Extract both files - DS4Windows and DS4Update - and launch DS4Windows to run the installer. This solution requires a third-party software in order to work, so head on over to the DS4Windows site and make sure you have the most up-to-date version.
