Gamepads

PlayStation gamepad

Windows doesn't treat a PlayStation gamepad as an Xbox one, so some games need help from Steam or DS4Windows.

Connecting

Connect with a cable or over Bluetooth. To pair, hold these buttons until the light bar blinks:

DualShock 4: Share and PS.
DualSense: Create and PS.

Then on the PC: Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Add device → Bluetooth.

The game supports PlayStation itself

Sony ports and many newer games understand PlayStation gamepads directly. Everything works right away, with the right button icons.

Through Steam

In Steam, open Settings → Controller and turn on PlayStation support. Steam hands the gamepad to the game as an Xbox pad.

Works in Steam games. You can add other games via Games → Add a Non-Steam Game and launch them through Steam.

Through DS4Windows

For games outside Steam. It creates a virtual Xbox gamepad through the ViGEmBus driver, the same one Rulik uses. If Rulik Server already installed the driver, you don't need to install it again.

Don't run Steam and DS4Windows on the same gamepad at once: the game will see it twice and every press will register two times.
