Controller is a mouse

[PatRed]

Im having an issue with my PS4 controller. My controller is acting like a mouse but its weirder then that, its only a mouse if i use a wireless connection (Bluetooth), but if i use a wired connection its normal, If i connect it with bluetooth and then i use a wire its switches between the two, after a bit it becomes a mouse again. Its really annoying, and i dont know how to fix it. Please help me with this problem.

Sounds to me like an issue in the settings. 

Make sure your controller is recognised correctly and if needed look under device manager and ensure all latest updates are being applied for the controller.

 

EDIT: also check under winodws settings for gaming....make sure you have enabled controller not keyboard and mosue as inputs. basically just check settings of anything related to using your controller and ensure they are correct before fighting with Bluetooth issues.

Could be steam doing something weird, try again with Steam closed.
