Dualshock 4 Driver Windows 10

Back when Sony first announced that the, PC gamers across the internet cheered in unison. Unfortunately, it’s not exactly the plug-and-play solution we had hoped for. While it’s true that the PS4’s controller is recognized by Windows (and OS X) right out of the box, existing games don’t automatically work with the gamepad. Thankfully, there is an application available that maps the DualShock 4’s controls directly to Microsoft’s XInput API — effectively tricking games into thinking you’re using an Xbox 360 controller. To get started, head on over to the InputMapper website, and. From here, simply run the installer, and agree to the terms and conditions. Once everything is finished, connect your to your PC over USB or Bluetooth.

My specs: Fresh and clean Windows 10 x64 Pro Rus (Updated), Original new Dualshock 4 v.2, USB to Micro USB Belkin MIXIT (3 metre) cable. / Devices & drivers. Windows 7 x64 Driver dualshock 3 pc DualShock 3 controller, 2.4 Step Four; 3 Bluetooth Driver PlayStation 3 Controllers. And Windows Dualshock 3 on Windows 10 not Maybe just get a Xbox360 Controller.

Keep in mind, the USB method is much more reliable. The wireless connection method is infamously flakey on PC, and it seems to depend heavily on your chipset and drivers. If you’re having issues, default to the USB connection, and close out all other applications. Next, launch the InputMapper app. At this point, the DualShock 4 should be recognized in the application, and it should function identically to an controller in most cases.

However, some oddball games have some compatibility issues. You might need to go into the settings, and toggle the checkbox labeled “Use Exclusive Mode.” Otherwise, the standard controller functions are completely operational. If you’d like to customize your experience a bit, you can go into the Profiles pane, and you’ll be brought to a window filled with buttons and sliders. Here, you’ll be able to change the color of the light bar, remap your buttons, tweak the rumble settings, and even set-up custom macros. Keep in mind, this is still a work in progress.

As it stands, you still need to launch the program every time you want to play a game. It’s a bit of a hassle, but that’s a relatively minor issue, since you can set it to launch minimized whenever Windows boots up. It’s also worth noting that this app is designed to mimic the Xbox 360 controller, so the button graphics in-game will show as A and B instead of X and O. If you’re looking for seamless integration, you need to either use a, or wait for more to ship with native DS4 support. I had logitech rumblepad 2 wireless for a long time till it broke down. Then i tought i will buy xbox 360 wireless for PC just so i dont need to mess with the files every time i want to play a game. I have had the xbox360 gamepad for a year by now and i have not played with it over 20 minutes.

I just hate the layout of the left side. Especially the left joystick thats to top of the gamepad and then reaching the buttons LT and LB you hand need to be transforme to a freaky alien:D i still wont go with the ps4 dualshock 4 cause you still need to use usb cable and secondary programs that will or not make your buttons work like they are ment to be. I dont have a console and i will never buy one. I have 3 reasones for that.

1st is that you need to pay for online gaming for you existing internet connection. 2nd is that the console comes out with crap hardware and you cant upgrade it and the console is out for 10 years. 3rd is that the games cost 2 times the price then on PC and wont even run stable 60 fps on FHD. Who’s “beating around the bush?” I thought I was rather succinct in my statement that Sony, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, does PLENTY of game development. Name another dev who did 8 games in 2010. JS alone averages 4 games a year. And that’s not even counting Team ICO, who is also a wholly-owned subsidiary.

The whole contention concerns your statement that, in essence, very little Sony money finds its way to developers. Minecraft Drivers Windows 10 more. That’s entirely false.

Bloodborne is a prime example. Never would have been made without Sony money.

Sony had skin in the development of both Demon’s Souls and Bloodborne. As they did in the dev of both of Team ICO’s classics, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. I guess you’re just one of those people who a) never looks at game credits b) never admits to being wrong. I guess you are one of those people who like to troll and make arguments that are completely beside the point.

Beside not being able to comprehend what inhouse development means thus continuing to ignore that fact that I am only talking about inhouse development, you also seem to think that Sony has a hand in more games than any other studio, which is simply laughable OP: Another way is that if sony made a bunch of money selling extra ps4 controllers to PC players theres a good chance a bunch of that will be used in developing ps4 games. My post: Sony does very very little in house development, in fact, I’d be surprised if a single cent made its way to developers. Still a factual statement, unless you propose that a considerable amount of sales of PS4 controllers marketed to PC gamers would be earmarked for in house development. If your pc doesn’t have a trackpad, simply install the driver for that controller type, bam. Touchpad function. If your pc already has a touchpad (laptops) then there may be issues with doubled input sources, and you may need to disable the laptop’s trackpad (you can establish a toggle to do this easy enough)/ Most track pad drivers I found seem to be working fine. And I usually don’t have any issues with buttons using the same input (like the touchpad click functioning as the left click on a mouse.) •.

The issue is MSFT continues to push XInput/XInput2, while *most* gamepads out there still use DirectInput. Which works fine, except PC games are REALLY picky about input binding [which is idiotic in this day and age], and assume any gamepad follows 360 button mappings, which in the case of DirectInput, does not.

The most *famous* example of DirectInput gamepads breaking games is on most any Unreal3 powered game. Due to differences in how the analog sticks are mapped, DirectInput gamepads with a right analog stick will result in camera spin. The “best” solution is probably an app like x360CE, which allows you to manually configure any gamepad to match the 360 Controller’s XInput bindings. Problem is, this will not work for all titles [though I’ve had a 90% success rate].

As distasteful as it is to some, MS did the development community a huge favor by creating a standardized library, and scheme for controller input. The ease of access this has created for developers, especially indie ones is un-matched. Unfortunately because of this strict standardization, its difficult to expand functionality without forcing all new APIs and libraries on everybody which is the primary reason impulse triggers on the XB1 controller will take a little time to get working on PC still. Lot of inaccuracies here.

First of Lets drop the term ‘native drivers’, its an HID complaint device so just like any keyboard and mouse it is fully plug and play. Next, Microsoft does not tweak anything to make anything non-functional; DI and XI use completely different reporting methods and will never work hand and hand without a 3rd party tool, and the DS3 makes this worse by requiring a specific handshake prior to sending HID packets, none of that is MS’s fault, that’s just how they coded the devices firmware. The DS4 makes things a lot easier for us developers by accepting any handshake and immediately exposing HID protocol and sending properly formatted HID packets, thus the reason the controller was ‘hacked’ in no time flat. You cannot cast aside HID, its a communication protocol. You are confusing being able to use KMD to falsify a handshake to expose the HID communication pipe.

Windows 8x plus started restricting KMD to push the much better and safer WMD. Remember when BSODs were a near weekly occurrence before WMD? So go back to the beginning because you are making some pretty broad and incorrect assumptions about how device hardware interacts with the software layer, fact is the only reason the DS3 has so many issues work in windows and requires additional steps to work beyond what the DS4 does is the fact that the firmware on the device itself does not activate the HID protocol without a very specific handshake, one that the PS3 is designed to give natively and one that the 3rd party tools spoof. Try Better DS3 (). It’s straight forward, doesn’t contact external ad servers, and overall minimalistic. It’s made using PS3/DS3 controllers much easier, and pretty much hassle-free. You can configure multiple profiles for Xinput (for newer games/GFWL; 360 controller emulation), or DirectInput (for older games / generic controller).

I don’t use it anymore because the MotionJoy driver conflicts with the DS4 tool for my PS4 controller and totally locks up my system forcing me to hard reboot. I do blame MotionJoy drivers since, at least when I installed it a long time ago, had to go through some mad trickery to force Windows to install the drivers; I had to do no such trickery with the DS4 tool, but it is a bit of a process to set up.

Once set up though, it’s simple and fairly quick to enable/disable. I personally can’t go back to using a DS3/PS3 controller again because the DS4 controller is just that much better, but I do miss the Better DS3 tool. My GF has a new Macbook Air, and while I do feel a twinge of jealousy over it (in fact, I used to be a major Mac fanboy, and still have my original 1984 Macintosh in my closet), your comment is filled with a bit of conflation/hyperbole (and – I’m really trying to come up with a less inflamatory term – ignorance) in terms of how secure life on the Mac is. Does the Mac have as many problems as Windows in that regard?

Probably not, because hackers are more likely to write malware for what is most widely used. However, it’s not all unicorns and rainbows on the Mac, either.

@ackthbbft:disqus I would be the first to admit ignorance about something I an ignorant about. But I feel I am know at least a little more than the average person about Macs. Mainly due to the fact I’ve own Macs for over 10yrs, and worked for Apple for almost 2 yrs as a (FRS) one of those guys that fixed their small devices. So I have a little more insider info than the usual person. Not that I’m pounding my chest, I just wanted to give my experience. I just get tired of the age old Macs cost more, and PC folks are always quick to point out that they cost more and in “their” opinion you get less for your money, I say to each is own. I’ve used PCs, I’ve used Macs.

I prefer Macs. Are they vulnerable, Absolutely! Do they have anywhere near they problems and slowdowns as PCs? Not even close. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, I just feel Macs have less weaknesses. That’s why I use them.

Like I stated I don’t usually game on my Mac but it would be cool to get my DS4 to get it to work on it. Frustration got the best of me. Trolls tend to bring that out. I’m sorry I’m a mac user but the moment you say mac is better because virus free (and you capped it) I realized you are just an average user with no real use of a real computer (you are better off with an ipad). And after reading your reply I know I stand corrected: having worked at apple, especially as some service staff, doesn’t make you an engineer, nor supplement the fact you lack general knowledge of computer science, and clearly you don’t understand the statement to which you are replying to. Back to content, you can use DS4 on mac.

Both USB and bluetooth interfaces worked natively. The default HID kernel extension has almost everything covered, except touchpad, sixaxis and rumbling.

And you can load modified extension (code borrowed from linux kernel) to support LED and rumbling, at the very least.
