Not sure if anyone was aware as I've only just found out about this , but the software actually tricks your pc into thinking an xbox 360 controller is plugged in ! And it also allows you to utilise the track pad on the ds4 as you would on a laptop to control the cursor

I use mine just wired straight into front USB port on the pc , tried it on tomb raider earlier and worked perfectly

I used this tutorial:

1) Buy an Xbox Controller
2)...

I have a ps4 though so didn't see the point in buying an xbox controller ?

I'm using the software from the link in the op , and so far I've tried crysis 3, splinter cell, tomb raider and rage, not had to touch a thing it's already done , as said other then the track pad the layout is the same , and that software tells your pc your using a 360 controller

Yeah just played Mortal Kombat X with it and didn't need to remap anything, guess it is only titles that don't support the 360 controller that you have to remap. Even found a neat little mod that changes the button prompts to the PS ones which is handy in a game that involves combos.

Ah cool was it hard to apply that mod ? Do you have to do that for each game for it to work ?
