The PlayStation 4's DualShock 4 controller is a fantastic gamepad, and with some third-party drivers and tinkering you can get it to work on your PC. I purchased a PlayStation 4 and an extra DualShock 4 controller for two-player games. I rarely use the second controller and wondered if I could use it to play games on my Mac. You can, though.
When using one DualShock 4 controller for Player 1 and another for Player 2, the D-Pad will not function for Player 2. Restarting OE or Mac does not fix this issue. Unsure whether this issue is specific the using multiple DualShock 4 controllers, or if it's due to identical controllers being used in OE. Explore the DUALSHOCK 4 Wireless Controller colors and key features like precision control, refined analog sticks, touch pad, the SHARE button, and more. Browse all DualShock 4 Wireless Controller colors to find the one for you, and learn about the features that make the DualShock 4 one-of-a-kind.
Connect your wireless controller to play supported games from Apple Arcade or the App Store, navigate your Apple TV, and more.
