CSR BT stack is confirmed to not work with the DS4 even though some CSR adapters work fine using Microsoft BT stack. Only use of Microsoft BT stack is supported.

Bluetooth 4.0 (via an adapter or built in PC).

To solve this, check Hide DS4 in the settings, if you see a warning in the log/text on the bottom, that means you must close said game or client that causes the conflict and reconnect the controller. Games like these can cause double input in menus (ie pressing down on the dpad moves 2 spaces) or the wrong button to do incorrect functions. Note: Some games work with the DS4 without DS4Windows.

All should be good to go once you connect the controller, if not restart DS4Windows, or even your computer.

Connect the DS4 via a micro usb or through bluetooth (DS4 Device name: 'Wireless Controller') may need to enter pair code: 0000).

If you have used SCP's tool in the past, you may need to uninstall the drivers to use the DS4 with Bluetooth.

A windows will pop up showing how to install the driver, if not, go to settings and click 'Controller/Driver Setup'.

Launch DS4Windows and choose where you want to save profiles.

Extract the 2 programs from zip file (DS4Windows and DS4Updater).

Microsoft 360 Driver (link inside DS4Windows, already installed by Windows if you've used a 360 controller before).

ViGEmBus driver (DS4Windows will install it for you).

NET 4.8 or higher (needed to unzip the driver and for macros to work properly)

Assign a deadzone to both analog sticks, the triggers, and the sixaxis.Get a reading of how the sticks and sixaxis is working.Hold an action to access a new whole set of controls.Automatically switch profiles by when a certain program(s) is launched.Use profiles to quickly switch between configurations for your controllers.Map the buttons and sticks to other 360 controls or keyboard actions or macros.Control the Lightbar: turn it off, dynamically change by battery level, and more.Use sixaxis movement for just as many actions.Use the touchpad as a mouse or for more actions.Use the same app for mapping a DS4, DualSense, Switch Pro, and Jo圜on.Use X360-like input to use the DS4 in more games and have rumble.By emulating a Xbox 360 controller, many more games are accessible and you can play PC games using the PlayStation controller. DS4Windows is a portable program that allows you to get the best experience while using a DualShock 4 on your PC.
