I tried the software Joystick Mapper, but that did not work out very well (no key registration in-game).

After using that I was able to configure dolphin without an issue.

However, the DualShock will be useless when trying to run native games.

The good news is, you can easily configure it to work on Windows or macOS.

Whether you play first-person shooters, roleplaying games, or any other genre, the DS4 is crafted to feel comfortable in button placement, weight, and grip.

Long-time PlayStation gamers may wish to use it on their PC games because of its familiarity.

Others opt for it instead of spending money on a new controller.

And, of course, the DualShock 4 controller is perfect for playing games with the Remote Play app on your computer.

There are a few quirks, though, which is why we thought a primer on setting up and using them would be prudent.

Then connect it to your PC or Mac using the original cable (or buy a longer one ) or use Bluetooth.

More instructions on how to use Bluetooth can be read below.

Steam Big Screen mode also has support for the PS4 controller.

Steam for Mac and few other apps provide native controller support.

It can be connected to both PCs and Macs via a compatible micro USB cable.

The one that comes with the controller is fine but is a tad short and may not suit your computer set up.

You can buy a 20-foot cable that should be more than enough for anyones needs.

Select Bluetooth Devices and then DualShock 4, and click on Disconnect.

With your DS4 now unpaired, you are set to connect it with your Mac or PC via Bluetooth, but first, you need to get the controller into pairing mode.

You will know it is in pairing mode when the light on the front of the controller begins blinking white in a double flash pattern (above).

It might take a few seconds or more while the Mac searches for the signal, so be patient.

Regardless of how it is listed, it will be obvious which device is the controller.

After a few seconds, the wireless controller will move to connected status.

Also, the light on the front of the DS4 will be a steady light blue.

Skip to the Quirks and Game Support section to see what caveats we encountered.

A window will pop up with the top option to connect to a BT device.

After all, it will clearly show that the computer is connected and receiving a signal from the controller it may have even run some driver installs.
