The Sony DualSense controller for PS5 may be the latest and greatest, but outside of a few games that take advantage of its extra features, it didn’t add all that much to the already great DualShock 4 controller that came with the PS4. Since the PS4 controller is now a generation in the past, it should be easier than ever to pick up for a steal. And, since it can be set up to work with PC, it works great as one of the best PC controllers.

To get your PS4 controller working with your PC, you’re going to need to decide how you want to connect. You can pair it over Bluetooth if your PC supports it, or you can use a USB cable to keep the controller latency as low as possible and always ensure the controller has a full charge. The downside of going the USB route is that the DualShock 4 controller uses Micro USB. Though it’s easy to find long and affordable Micro USB cables, the connector is a far cry from being as robust as a USB-C connection like that on the DualSense controller.
In either case, you’ll still have an easy time connecting the PS4 controller to your PC. If your PC doesn't already have Bluetooth capability, it’s easy to add using a USB Bluetooth adapter.
Once your PS4 controller is connected to your PC, getting it to work properly is a slightly different matter. Steam has support for the DualShock 4 controller if you enable it in the controller settings menu. Alternatively, you can use a tool like DS4Windows to translate between the control signals coming from the DualShock 4 and the XInput signals Windows understands. After that, it's time to enjoy playing your favorite PC games with your PS4 controller.
