The reason we need a Bluetooth adapter is that the application will overwrite the dongle’s official driver with its own.Īs a result, the Bluetooth adapter will only host the wireless communication between the controllers and the ScpToolkit program.

ScpToolkit helps us to use the PS3 and PS4 controller on PC, making them act like an Xbox controller.įor the wired connection, we use the USB to mini-USB cable to connect the DS3 gamepad on Windows, and the USB to micro-USB cable for the DS4 joypad.įor the wireless connection via Bluetooth, we will need a dedicated USB Bluetooth dongle. However, if we want to use the DualShock 4 gamepad on games that run outside the above services, we may face compatibility issues.įortunately, a developer team created an application that supports the connection of PS3 and PS4 controller on PC.Īlso note that the connection of DS4 on Windows using the above program is functional without the need for the Sony wireless adapter. Moreover, in December 2016 Valve Corporation announced the native support of DualShock 4 controller on the Steam platform. We can connect the PS4 controller on PC via the Sony wireless adapter that supports the services of Remote Play and PlayStation Now. The DualShock 3 controller was never compatible to work on Windows with official drivers from Sony.Ī partial exception is the DualShock 4. While the Xbox gamepads have official support, the same does not apply to the DualShock controllers. In June 2016, Microsoft released a new Xbox One version, the Xbox One S, where the controllers have built-in Bluetooth support for the wireless connection on Windows 10.


We can achieve a wired connection on Windows via USB to micro-USB cable, and a wireless connection using the Xbox wireless adapter. The gamepad of the newest member of Microsoft’s gaming system is the Xbox One controller. But if we want to use the wireless Xbox 360 controller, we need the device Xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver.įirst, we install the device on Windows, and then we connect the wireless controller to the receiver.
