Which controller is best for PC gaming

Mouse and keyboard.

Xbox 360 controller the newer one.

Dual shock is the branding for Playstation controllers, referring to the dual rumble motors

The ps4 controller is the dual shock 4, it does require a software package called "input mapper" to function on PC, after which it acts directly like an Xbox 360 controller, but with what is effectively a laptop track pad, very convenient for navigating menus

Both the Xbox One and 360 controllers are plug and play with windows, no separate software, but I think the ps4 controller is more ergonomic

 

 

That's just how Sony names their controllers. The PS3's controller is the Dualshock 3, the PS4's is the Dualshock 4.

And some games actually do have native support for the DS4; Farcry 4 and Mad Max even show PS4 button prompts when you use it. Problem is, the controller only uses DirectInput, and most devs these days seem to prefer Xinput for some reason I cannot comprehend. InputMapper or DS4Windows solve that issue, though; they emulate an Xbox controller, give you a lot of extra options, and neither one requires any additional set up unlike stuff like x360ce, unless you want to start customizing stuff.

 

So the touch pad will work even if I need to emulate an XBOX controller?

Will the commands be XBOX or PS, if I need to run an InputMapper/DS4Windows?

Once you run IM/DS4Windows, the touchpad will work just like a regular multitouch pad, like a laptop's.

That second question, I don't understand. What do you mean if the commands will be Xbox or PS?

The button prompts on PC will be Microsoft unless you mod, it's not a matter of the controller, just that these games only contain Xbox prompts, some games can be changed, but you're better off just learning both button layouts, it's how I do it

A hand full of games like AC Unity, Arkham Knight, DBZ Xenoverse, detect ps4 controllers and work naively
