You can have the best graphics card to support the visuals and the best processors for the smooth running of the game. Furthermore, you can use a gaming console or connect a PS4 controller to enhance the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/optimize-pc-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gaming experience on a PC<\/a>. However, there are certain situations where the controller does not work on a PC. If you are also stuck in a similar situation and are unable to connect the controller to your PC, you are at the right place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This blog will help fix the PS4 controller not working on a PC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sounds good? Well, then, let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why is the PS4 Controller Unable to Connect To the PC? How to Fix?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With haptic feedback and precision, the PS4 Dualshock controller offers a perfect gaming experience. However, if it is not connecting to your PC or your PC cannot detect the PS4 controller via Bluetooth. In both cases, there are chances that the driver compatibility is causing the issue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, before jumping to the ways you can troubleshoot the issue, ensure that your PC has suitable controller drivers installed. How to do that?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, if you go for it manually, there is a chance that you get lost in the steps, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/drivers-for-windows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">updating drivers<\/a> manually is not for everyone. If you are into gaming and need to learn more about Device Managers and drivers on your PC, do not worry, there is a solution for you too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Advanced Driver Updater, yes, the driver updating software scans your PC for outdated drivers and fetches quality updates, and installs them automatically.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You need not worry about checking for updates and sifting through drivers to find the perfect file; everything is done by the tool.

PC Does not Support the PS4 Controller<\/h3>\n<p>If you are using Windows 10, your PC will not support the PS4 DualShock controller. You need a third-party application like DS4Windows on your PC. Using the DS4Windows application, you can not only connect the PS4 but can also configure the controller to its best potential. Here\u2019s how the tool can help &#8211;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Download DS4Windows and install the application on your PC.<\/li>\n<li>Set up the installed application. It will take a few minutes as all you have to do is follow the instructions on the screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"color-box\">\n<div class=\"shadow\">\n<div class=\"info-tab note-icon\" style=\"background:#47ADE0\"><i><\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"note-box\" style=\"background:#d5e9f6\">\n<p> <strong> Note : <\/strong>If you have never used DS4Windows before, choose the AppData profile when the application asks.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30171\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2022\/11\/PS4-Controller.webp\" alt=\"PS4-Controller\" width=\"903\" height=\"440\" sizes=\"(max-width: 903px) 100vw, 903px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>After setting up the application, you must install the drivers to support DS4Windows. The application setup has the drivers onboard, which means it is easy to install.<\/li>\n<li>Not to mention, Advanced Driver Updater helps in keeping your DS4Windows drivers updated.<\/li>\n<li>Once the application is set up, your Windows 10 PC supports a PS4 DualShock controller.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Try Connecting the Controller Using USB Port<\/h3>\n<p>If your PC is using an older version of Bluetooth or you have added the Bluetooth functionality using an external adapter, the PS4 controller might not be able to connect. Do not worry, as you can use a USB cable to connect.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you have Steam or DS4Windows to support the controller before connecting the device.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how you can do that!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you have connected the USB directly to the PC for plug-and-play, remove it, as it will not work.<\/li>\n<li>Open Steam and go to settings. In the settings, you can find Controller settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30170\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Controller-Using-USB-Port.webp\" alt=\"Controller-Using-USB-Port\" width=\"1274\" height=\"521\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1274px) 100vw, 1274px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Controller Settings have options for input controllers. There, click on the check box for PS4 configuration support.<\/li>\n<li>Save the changes made and connect the USB to your PC. This time, steam will recognize it as a controller.<\/li>\n<li>Set it up, choose the desired button configuration, and enjoy your gameplay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30172\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2022\/11\/PS4-Controller-driver.webp\" alt=\"PS4-Controller-driver\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With the help of these two ways, you can make the controller run on your PC. The crucial thing here is to ensure that your PC has updated drivers, as the above techniques will only work if the drivers for your USB controllers are available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This brings us to the end of the blog. I hope using these methods, you can connect your PS4 DualShock controller to your PC and fix the not working issue.
