What is DS4Windows?
Like those other ds4tools, but sexier.
DS4Windows is an extract anywhere program that allows you to get the best DualShock 4 experience on your PC. By emulating a Xbox 360 controller, many more games are accessible.
Full list of Features

DS4Windows was a project originally started by InhexSTER by the name of DS4 Tool. The tool was later branched off by electrobrains. I later decided to branch off my own and add things such as profiles.
Comments and Reviews
A great app! This version of DS4Windows is no longer maintained as of October 2016. A forked version by author Ryochan7, also called DS4Windows is available and is being updated regularly.
Works great in Windows 7 x64, but I had some issues w/ v1.4.222 and had to go back to v1.4.158. Setting up Bluetooth can also be funky, and I forgot what guide I used to get it done. Read the app page and the dev forum if it's not working out for you.
