FAQs
- Q: How do I connect a PS4 controller to my Android device?
A: Unfortunately, users can’t directly connect and use a PS4 controller on their Android devices. The primary reason the PS4 controller can’t be used with Android is because of a lack of support from Google and the manufacturer. No standard exists for Android to connect with a PS4 controller, and these companies have no support.
However, there is a workaround you can use to connect your PS4 controller to your Android device using an app called Six axes Controller which can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store. With this app, you’ll be able to connect your PS4 controller as long as your phone is rooted.
- Q: How do I connect a PS4 controller to my Windows 7/8 device?
A: Much like Android, there is no out-of-the-box support for the PS4 controller, but users can connect one to their PC using an app similar to Six axes Controller. This time, you’ll need to download DS4Windows, which can be downloaded for free from the Microsoft Store. Using this app, you’ll be able to connect up to four PS4 controllers simultaneously and map each one’s buttons, analogs sticks, and touchpad to particular keys on your keyboard.
- Q: How will I know if my controller is connected?
A: Fortunately, both Six axis Controller and DS4Windows provide users with a visual display to show that their controller has been successfully connected.
After you’ve downloaded either app, a green light will appear on the top of the controller whenever it’s connected. Six axes Controller will also display the battery level of your controller on-screen at all times, while DS4Windows will show a battery level on screen when you tap the touchpad.
