Does anyone know if there anyway to make a PS4 controller work with a PC yet ??

And if yes how good/easy does it work for PC games ?

Its officially supported on PC so it works by default but you need the USB cable to use it and it only uses the basic functions of the pad.

You need a button mapper to make it work it most games. You trick your PC into thinking it's a 360 controller so square becomes X triangle become Y and so on.

Can't remember what I use because I'm at work but I'll have a look when I get back.

Works fine with a fan made wrapper(InhexSTER), as above it tricks windows into thinking it's a 360 controller. You can also change the colour of the LED to whatever you want which is obviously very important.

Works for me via USB but for the life of me could not get it to connect via bluetooth, just won't pair, it starts to pair, then disconnects which is quite annoying.

The PS3 gamepad could be used via bluetooth with some messing around / additional software, maybe someone will manage to do the same for the PS4 pad soon.

Just realised the PS3 pad works with my macbook air flawlessly without any messing around or additional drivers etc, has anyone tried a PS4 pad?, will have a bash once I get home.
