Hello, for the past few months I've been on again off again trying to figure out ways to use a controller for my PC, certain games just don't feel right with keyboard and mouse, however, I have no idea how to go about doing this. I've tried looking online for Bluetooth adaptors designed for PS4 controllers, but I'm never able to find any.

 

Will any old Bluetooth adaptor work? Or will I need a specific one to connect a PS4 controller. Or is it even possible to use a PS4 controller on PC?

 

Thanks to anyone that can help me out with this, it's very much appreciated!

To use the controller pretty much any Bluetooth adapter will work, idk if you need any specific revision as I used a 4.0 dongle before the one built in my current Mobo, or just wired with a micro USB cable

 

After that you will need a program like DS4windows to use the controller itself, connection imo is a pain and just a hastle when I want to use it wirelessly, if you don't care about a hastle (for some), or will use wired a PS4 controller works, personally I would just recommend an Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller with it's appropriate dongle as it is easier to setup and use wirelessly with Windows.

Nothing to see here, move along
