DS4Windows is a program that can completely transform your gaming by letting you use Sony's Dual Shock 4 controller with your PC games. Even though there are many high-quality gaming controllers made specifically for the PC, they tend to be expensive and many gamers will tell you that they simply can't live up to the performance and comfort of Sony's product.

If you own a Sony PlayStation console that came with a Dual Shock 4 controller, DS4Windows allows you to get it working on your PC in just a couple of minutes. You don't need to buy any hardware devices from some shady foreign website or spend hours modifying system settings to fool Windows into thinking that the controller you've plugged in is actually a keyboard and then waste more time manually mapping the buttons.

DS4Windows works in a simple and straightforward way. Just download the program, install it and run it. If you need some drivers, the program points you to several reputable places that you can download them securely from. Once this part is complete, you're just left with one decision: use a wired USB connection or go wireless with Bluetooth.

Both modes are fully supported by the software, however some Bluetooth controllers have trouble recognizing the controller or maintaining a connection to it. Should this happen, you can simply use the micro USB cable instead.

You're free to bind the buttons on the Dual Shock 4 controller to the functions you want, depending on the game you're playing. This handy little gaming utility even lets you create multiple profiles with settings for different games.

Pros

  • Lets the Dual Shock 4 controller be used with PC games.
  • Supports either wired or wireless connections.
  • Very simple setup and configuration process.

Cons

  • Bluetooth mode may not function correctly on some PCs.
