Connecting PS4 Controller to PC using bluetooth

Megahurtz400 · 12 Jan 2019 at 11:13

Hey all,

Trying to connect up my DS4 to my PC using a cheap bluetooth adapter from Amazon.

Can't seem to get it to work at all, followed all the tutorials online and it just either sits flashing in pairing mode or when it goes off just doesnt do anything?

Am I missing something?

Cheers,

Dan

I don't know much about this but on the PS4 you have to initially pair it with a cable. It could be the same for PC.

Something else to try is download the PlayStation Now or PS4 Remote Play client which will install drivers for the DualShock 4 and see if you can get it to pair then.

Tried the first with no luck.

Will give that a shot later

It works while plugged in FYI

I assume you're using DS4Windows? As the PS4 controller isn't officially supported on PC.

I’m not, I’m led to believe that you don’t need it when using steam big picture mode?

Yeah I think I’ll just stick to cables for my desk and 360 controllers and adapter for HTPC

Cheers anyway guys!

Tried pairing a PS4 controller to my rig using both my boards onboard Bluetooth and a few USB adapters, gave up in the end, read something about a hacked 360 driver as Benjii says but gave up in the end.

Bought a 360 wired controller from a boot sale for £1 which works a treat.

Yeah i've been sourcing some 360 controllers for the HTPC for 4 player co-op games, but will PS4 controller works fine when wired in to main PC and i'll only ever be sat at a desk for that so jobs a goodun!
