One thing to note, as has been mentioned by others, this dongle does nothing to improve the native compatibility of the DS4 controller with a PC; you will still need to use some third party software to get full use of your DS4 on your PC (unless you are just intending to use the DS4 for the PlayStation PC apps). Simply download the PlayStation Now app to gain access to an extensive and expanding library of over 300 classic PlayStation titles streamed straight to your computer. For other devices, some wireless controller features are not available when connected via Bluetooth.

This, in turn, makes the DualShock 4 USB Wireless PC adapter is useless for PC gaming, at least for now. If you are connecting a DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller to a compatible Sony Xperia device, all functions are available. Push the share and PS button on the controller for 3 seconds and push the dongle for dongle for 3 seconds and it pairs with your PS4 controller.

As you can see, just about every game failed to see the DualShock 4, While 20XX was able to use the controller, moves requiring multiple buttons or needing fast button presses such as jumping and dashing, were not possible.

I need to stress this as well – if you’re getting this for the sole purpose of playing PC games with a DualShock 4 controller, then don’t. When Sony announced the adaptor, the first thought in my head was that we’re finally getting some native support. The accessory will support all of your "favourite" features, including the touch pad, light bar, motion sensors, vibration, and headphone jack. DualWielding Well, officially Sony previously only supported wired DualShock 4s for things like Remote Play. I did notice however that when I moved USB ports (I had originally put it into the front of the PC to test) it reset itself as the default audio devices; can confirm that it only does this when being plugged back in, so hasn't re-occurred since its just been plugged into the back of my PC for the last 2 weeks.

The DUALSHOCK 4 USB Wireless Adaptor makes this even better – allowing you to play via Bluetooth with all the intuitive features of the DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller at your fingertips.

For the most part, it worked and it did the job that Sony failed to do, which was providing a working driver for Windows.

Connect the DUALSHOCK4 wireless controller to your WindowsPC/Mac via Bluetooth to wirelessly control compatible applications on your computer. This effectively changes the adaptors worth, as long as you’re willing to use a 3rd party software to get it where it needs to be.

Well, the Steam support has been released and it’s a bit spotty and while Sony hasn’t released an official driver yet, the crew behind DS4Windows has added support for it. Devices using the operating systems listed below or later support DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller Bluetooth and USB connections. It was unplayable to the point that I gave up on the Bluetooth and just plugged the controller in via USB. Nachdem ich den Adapter an den PC angeschlossen habe wurde er direkt erkannt und der Treiber automatisch installiert.
