Forums - Sony Discussion - PS4 controller (& Touchpad) will work on PC natively via USB according to a developer

i need to try out both the Xbox One and DS4 controllers to see if i should replace my PC's 360 controller. i wasn't a fan of the design of the old DSs, they were flat out uncomfortable IMO, this looks like a huge improvement.

And just when I was considering the xbox one controller for some pc games, now I won't need to.



Wonderful. Now I can Play Titian Fall with the Dualshock 4.



Perfect pc controller



Great now I can play on pc



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Thank god. The 360's D pad is just, no.



About time Sony does this, I find smaller controllers to be better for gaming, this is why I prefer the Logitech controllers over the 360 PC wired controllers.



That would be pretty awesome, I've got really used to controllers and had problems switching to keyboard and my low DPI optical mouse.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Oh that would be awesome. It's good to hear that the touch pad will work too! Recently heard that you can control the map in AC4 with the touch pad. Move around, zoom in zoom out etc. I think that is a very good use of the touch pad. Was smart on Sony to include it on the DS4.

if true why wouldnt sony have said anything?


Maybe they prefer you to play ps4 games on your ps4 with your ps4 pad instead of paying games on steam and play it with their pad.


doesnt make much sense. if you are going to game on your PC it wont depend on the controller because you have many many options. they can make a lot of money by making the controller supported for the PC. a lot of PC gamers would buy it and it would increase sales of the controller. 

 

@OT: does this mean that i just need to connect the controller to my PC and when i start a game the buttons are already mapped correctly?
