Or you could use a Bluetooth adapter if you don't feel like fiddling with the wires and, of course, you should have an emulator utility. Sony has developed a special Bluetooth adapter to connect DualShock 4 to a computer and you can buy it at any computer shop. However, you can use any other adapter if it's version 2.1 or higher. To connect a gamepad, you should download an Xbox 360 controller driver and a SCP Toolkit package. You can find all the links under the video.

If you fail to connect DualShock 4 to a computer with this emulator, there is one more tool – DS4 Windows, specially designed for this model. DS4 Windows is another emulator to disguise DualShock into looking just like a standard Xbox 360 controller. In its turn, this standard controller is supported in most Windows games by default. The disadvantage of this method is that in games you will see standard Xbox buttons. Instead of the circle, square and triangle, you'll be offered to use A, B and X.

Click Finish to complete the installation. Then go to the tab Controllers and click Start in the right lower corner. The connected controller should appear. You don't need to close the program because it should be open to work properly, but you can minimize it to the system train. That's all. Now you can relax and play. In some games, the Gamepad may work incorrectly. In this case, you can fix it by enabling the option Hide DS4 controller and reconnecting the Gamepad. If you enable this option and see an error, remove it from the device manager and then reconnect the Gamepad. If you need to reassign some buttons or add more sensitivity to your controller, open the Profiles tab. Press the button you need to change and a new window will open where you should select the button you want to use instead. In this menu, you can configure that zone, sensitivity, and even the color of the light bar. If you want to connect one of these Gamepads to a smartphone, you will need an OTG adapter.
