  • DS4Windows

    DS4Windows - Tool to use PS4/PS5 Controller on Windows 10 PC. Open Source Input Mapper (by ds4windowsapp)

  • However, it's not impossible to use a Dualshock controller. For some years now, I have been using DS4Windows to use my DS4 on my PC. To put it simple, that software makes Windows believe that your Dualshock controller is in fact an Xbox controller and it works quite well. I mainly use it for games I acquired through Game Pass. If you play games through Steam, there is basically no difference to an Xbox controller because Steam acts as some sort of middleware which does the same thing as DS4Windows making it irrelevant.

  • DS4Windows

    Discontinued Like those other ds4tools, but sexier

  • If you have no preference, the xbox controller will probably have better compatability out of the box since both are microsoft, for the playstation controller you may still need external drivers (ds4windows).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
