That's it guys.

A lot of guys are posting pictures and info from the DS4 playing on PS3 or PC... well that's because the controller can be bought in any retail now and leave it to home.

This is a pic from a use playing Psychonauts on PC.

Some retails selling the controller.

Wish my local Best Buy would get them in. Then I could be playing some FEZ, Bastion, Borderlands 2 or Dead Space on my PC with it. I have two preordered already and I would love to get my hands on one before my system gets in.

Oh well, guess I just have to wait until Nov. 15th...

Is that PS3 thing confirmed? If so I'll get one months before I'm ready t get A PS4.



 Go Team Venture! I still don't get the Wii, PS Move,  and Kinect.

Yeah... there are a lot the impressions in GAF already... the only issue is that the Home button didn't works on PS3.

PS. They are saying they need to have a PS3 controller connected just to use the Home button (that access the XMB)... besides this issues everything works fine (of course the touchpad didn't works too).

Some info from the Windows 8 support...

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=87256159#post87256159

Windows 8.1 finds the device as a Bluetooth Controller but is unable to pair (I tried once, will try a few more things in a bit).

Windows 8.1 also detects the following buttons (in the Controller Settings in Control Panel):
D-pad Up
D-pad Left
D-pad Down
D-pad Right
Left Analog
Left Analog Click
Right Analog
Right Analog Click
X
△
□
O
Left Shoulder
Left Trigger
Right Shoulder
Right Trigger
Share Button
Options Button
Trackpad Click
PS Button Click
The only thing not being detected is the trackpad "tracking". The sensitivity of the analogs is VERY high, they are very tight, and the slightest touch causes a registered signal.

So even the Touchpad clicks works in Windows 8... just the "tracking" not.

Ouch...

And it works via Bluethooth on PC.

Hi Guys,

Got my controller working wireless via Bluetooth on my PC.

To put the unit in pairing mode you hold Share button (first) + PS button, the unit will start double blinking white LED.

You should then be able to find it under "Add BT Devices".

All buttons function and can be mapped however you want.

Triggers are also still analog (not sure that was known).

Damn, i was really hoping the tack pad would work for pc. Wonder if Sony will put out official drivers. It's cool BT works thought.

For click it is working... so I'm sure a guy will create a simple driver to make it works full... maybe (I'm not sure) even a MS windows update can give us that in the future.
