About this deal

I'd figure you'd have to get an emulator to have it work on games that DON'T support PS4 Controllers.

KEY FEATURES Plug and play - Insert the adaptor into a USB port on your PC/Mac and follow a quick and easy Bluetooth pairing process to connect your DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller. The Sony DualShock 4 USB Wireless PC adapter works perfectly if you’re using it to play PlayStation 4 games directly to your PC. Update: I did mention I’d update this review once the native Dualshock Support in Steam or Sony the official driver from Sony was released.

Only downside to using it over the cable is now I have to make sure I charge my controller over night, to which a charger stand comes in handy. While there’s no date set for when we can expect to see this implemented, at the very least we know that it is coming. I am pleased to say that this dongle has entirely eliminated the latency issues I was experiencing via Bluetooth and seems to be just as responsive as the USB connection. Valve has said they are going to add support for the DS4 controller into Steam, just like with the Steam controller.

Meaning that the adapter does work in just about everything now, as long as you have DS4Windows that is. Short of that, I can’t recommend anyone picking up this, especially if they were looking forward to using this over DS4Window or Joy2Key. I hope that this is something that changes with time, but currently, software that fools the computer into thinking the DS4 is a XBox 360 controller is still required for very many games, meaning the advantage the adapter offers over a standard bluetooth connection is worth less than the USB port it takes up. If you'd like to use your DUALSHOCK®4 wireless controller with compatible games and applications away from your console, you can connect via Bluetooth® or USB in a few steps. This adaptor enables your DUALSHOCK 4 controller to wirelessly connect to your compatible PC or Mac.Enhanced PS4 Remote Play - After installing the Remote Play app on your PC/Mac, you can stream PS4 games to your computer over your home network, so you can keep on playing even when you're away from the TV.

The DUALSHOCK 4 USB Wireless Adaptor cannot be used to connect a DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller to a PlayStation 4 system, PlayStation Vita system or PlayStation TV system. I just disabled these playback and recording devices in windows (as I didn't want to use the controller jack) and that was that.

Credit subject to status, UK residents only, GAME acts as a broker and offers finance from PayPal Credit. It’s still a shame that this support didn’t come from Sony, but I’m not one to stare a gift horse in the mouth.
