welcome to the world of PC. Google is your friend. There is a learning curve if youve never been in the PC ecosystem but you will find that you will never buy another console again

I don't get it, I connect my controller via usb but the DS4 application says "no controllers connected" why??

@fatal9913 8 ай бұрын

If you still havent found a fix, First make sure you downloaded all other requirements to make sure ds4 actually works. If that doesnt helo, change what port of your pc or laptop the usb is plugged into, for some reason sometimes the ports dont work with certain usbs

@notright7 7 ай бұрын

@@fatal9913 like pierpaolo, I cannot get it to work. I even bought a wireless dongle to see if that was the issue, and it did not help at all. The thing is, I had my PS4 controller working before I moved in 2022 and it was working just fine with Steam without the program. But after I moved and set everything back up, Steam will no longer recognize my controller. I have even tried a different PS4 controller to see if that was the issue, and it is not. I know my ports work and Steam will recognize both my wife's Xbox and Switch controllers, but not mine. I really am at a lost at what to do.

Great review, good instructions and shows what you what is happening. No accent making it so much easier is a cherry on top. The ten minutes and downloading all that stuff is so overwhelming sometimes. I tried downloading 7 zip or whatever and wasted 30 minutes trying to get that to work so i could get another thing to work on my pc lmao.

bro ion know if you know the fix to my problem but ds4 windows keeps identifying my controller to be dead and have zero battery percentage even when i charge it, and the problem gets resolved when i re install ds4's latest version it works as normal. You got any idea on how to fix that?

@ChupacabraTutorials 7 ай бұрын

If you go look up the process of pairing a controller back with your PS4 is literally the following: 1) Plug your Controller into the PS4 via the Cable that Came with it (A USB Cable that is capable of transmitting data, some only charge) 2) Press and Hold the PlayStation Button in the center of the controller 3) it should pair. In the example they give on the site the playstation is turned off when you start the process but it shouldn't matter.
