    What is DS4Windows?

    Full list of Features

    Use X360-like input to use the DS4 in more games and have rumble
    Use the touchpad as a mouse or for more actions
    Use sixaxis movement for just as many actions
    Control the Lightbar: turn it off, dynamicly change by battery level, and more
    Map the buttons and sticks to other 360 controls or keyboard actions or macros
    Use profiles to quickly switch between configurations for your controllers
    Automatically switch profiles by when a certain program(s) is launched
    Hold an action to access a new whole set of controls
    Get a reading of how the sticks and sixaxis is working
    Assign a deadzone to both analog sticks, the triggers, and the sixaxis

    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.

    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.

    Said about DS4Windows as an alternative

    Playstation fanboyism? Maybe. But the interface is great and DS4Windows is the Playstation equivalent to rewasd but it's opensource! Can't get better than well polished software that is opensource.

    DS4Windows is no comparable program to Xpadder, but still an awesome program to use your PS4 Controller for PC.
