As you’ve probably guessed, the PS4 controller does not support Xinput, so even after connecting it to a PC, it’s still difficult to use. Alternatively, they may support Dinput, but have done so as an afterthought.Īny gamer who has tried to play Windows games using a Dinput controller will attest to the endless frustration this causes. The problem is that most games released since Microsoft integrated Xbox controller support into Windows only support Xinput. Dinput is deprecated, but still works just fine. As a bomb duder we can obviously trust your wrapper, so no reason to be weird about downloads.Other controllers have to rely on Dinput, which is the generic input standard used in DirectX. Just wanted to say for other users of the forum that I didn't download anything and was OK using the DS4, but seems irrelevant.

What I thought happened was that I told my PC to basically pretend the DS4 is a 360 controller, but (as you can tell) I really have no idea what's going on under the hood. Oh okay, so probably just the game I was playing allowed DirectInput and that's why it was just plug and play? (OR AM I TOTALLY LOST?) Additionally using the wrappers add more functionality than can really even be listed in a forum post, but I believe it definitely gives the edge to the DS4 over other controllers, in fact I've had users approach me who already have x360 controllers wanting me to make the controllers work in my app to allow them the extra features.

You can get a 360 controller to work with OS X, but it requires third-party drivers and a remapping tool like Joystick The issue is many games are now adopting XInput as the sole input allowed, well DS4 uses DirectInput, so that forces us to use a wrapper (like mine, thanks for the plug -)) or stick with a x360/1 controller.

Bluetooth can be a bit unreliable, though. Because it registers as a standard HID controller, OS X supports it natively over USB and Bluetooth and doesn't require button remapping. I'd recommend a Dualshock 4 over a 360 controller. I'd need the PC adapter, right? After that would the gamepad automatically configure with Steam on Mac? Thanks. A pain, but it will work.ĭo you think I'd be better off getting a 360 controller then? I'm trying to make this as easy as possible.

On OSX, you'll probably need to connect the controller via Bluetooth, then use software like Joystick Mapper to map buttons to the keyboard. On the Mac, it may not be usable at all on the PC, there's a tool for emulating an XInput device using a PS4 controller that works okay, though you'll want to test it on a game by game basis, since games that actually support the PS4 controller (Transistor and Broforce so far in my testing) will then register two controllers from one set of inputs. The bad news is that most games on Steam support XInput controls (used by 360 controllers) and not DirectInput (used by the PS4 controller). On my PC, it even recognizes the audio channel as a bluetooth speaker, so I think I could get PC audio out through the controller. The good news is that connecting it to any PC (Mac or Windows) is pretty straightforward using guides like this.
