SCP Driver Package is an open-source driver which allows for DS2 (DualShock 2), DS3, and DS4 to work natively on Microsoft Windows. Windows will recognize the DualShock controllers as Xbox 360 controllers. The majority of PC gamers agree that a first-person shooter game is worse with a controller than with a keyboard and mouse because of how inaccurate and awkward using a controller is. I know it doesn't say there's controller support. That's why this is in the suggestions category. Just wanted to say that i had my ps3 controller working with wires but not via bluetooth by installing scp server with ps3 ps4 and force option enabled. So to fix the bluetooth part i went to control panel, devices and properties of the xbox controller and inside there i updated the driver and looked for one in the nefarious folder, select the.

Introduction: Connect PS3/PS4 Controller to Windows in 5 Minutes Easy

Did you know that you can use your PS3 / PS4 controller to play games on the PC. This is possible via the SCP Toolkit (with step by step instructions on how to set up) and Bluetooth/USB on the Playstation controllers. This guide will teach you how to set up your controller so that your PC sees it as an Xbox controller (since games don't have native support for PS controllers). Each button will be automatically mapped to the equivalent one on the Xbox controller.

Step 1: Hardware

For this project, you need the following:

Scp Server Ps3 Controller

• PS3/PS4 controller (can be purchased at your local games shop)
• OPTIONAL - Bluetooth dongle (The one used in this tutorial: https://www.amazon.ca/Bluetooth-Adapter-Rocketek-T...

Keep in mind that the software will install a new driver for your bluetooth dongle meaning that the dongle will be used exclusively for the controllers and will not be able to connect to other bluetooth devices while it is being used.

Step 2: Software

Unlike other methods, the package that we will use is called ScpToolkit and it is an all-in-one installer for the SCP package.

If you are running Windows 7, you will need the Xbox 360 controller drivers as well

Step 3: Install

Before beginning, make sure that if you have a bluetooth dongle, it is plugged in and that Windows has installed the appropriate drivers for it.

1. Open up the installer. When installing, you can leave everything at its default values. This will install the tools onto your computer. It is worth noting that the actual driver installation does not happen until later.
2. When the installer finishes, the driver installation page should open up. If not, you can search for ScpToolkit Driver Installer.
3. On this program, You can choose to install drivers for Bluetooth, PS3, PS4 controllers, etc. Select the ones that apply to you then look left and select the appropriate devices that correspond to the device you want to install the driver to.
   1. If you are on Windows Vista, then you must click force install
   2. If you are on any version of windows before Windows 8, select Install Xbox360 controller driver as well
4. Once done, reboot your computer

The server will start with the computer. To connect the controller, simply plug it in or just press the PS button and it will automatically pair with the computer. If the controller is not pairing via Bluetooth, insert a needle into the reset hole on the back of the controller.

To test this, you can open Steam Big Picture mode or load up any controller compatible game!

Back when Sony first announced that the DualShock 4 would work with Windows, PC gamers across the internet cheered in unison. Unfortunately, it’s not exactly the plug-and-play solution we had hoped for. While it’s true that the PS4’s controller is recognized by Windows (and OS X) right out of the box, existing games don’t automatically work with the gamepad. Thankfully, there is an application available that maps the DualShock 4’s controls directly to Microsoft’s XInput API — effectively tricking games into thinking you’re using an Xbox 360 controller.

To get started, head on over to the InputMapper website, and download the latest version. From here, simply run the installer, and agree to the terms and conditions. Once everything is finished, connect your DualShock 4 to your PC over USB or Bluetooth. Keep in mind, the USB method is much more reliable. The wireless connection method is infamously flakey on PC, and it seems to depend heavily on your chipset and drivers. If you’re having issues, default to the USB connection, and close out all other applications.

Next, launch the InputMapper app. At this point, the DualShock 4 should be recognized in the application, and it should function identically to an Xbox 360 controller in most cases. However, some oddball games have some compatibility issues. You might need to go into the settings, and toggle the checkbox labeled “Use Exclusive Mode.” Otherwise, the standard controller functions are completely operational.

If you’d like to customize your experience a bit, you can go into the Profiles pane, and you’ll be brought to a window filled with buttons and sliders. Here, you’ll be able to change the color of the light bar, remap your buttons, tweak the rumble settings, and even set-up custom macros.

Keep in mind, this is still a work in progress. As it stands, you still need to launch the program every time you want to play a game. It’s a bit of a hassle, but that’s a relatively minor issue, since you can set it to launch minimized whenever Windows boots up. It’s also worth noting that this app is designed to mimic the Xbox 360 controller, so the button graphics in-game will show as A and B instead of X and O. If you’re looking for seamless integration, you need to either use a PS4, or wait for more PC games to ship with native DS4 support.

If you already use an Xbox 360 controller on your PC, there’s no reason to switch unless you have a strong personal preference for the feel of the DualShock 4. Getting everything up and running takes a little bit of effort, and it’s still more prone to issues than the Xbox One or 360 controllers. Most PC gamers shouldn’t bother taking the plunge, but this is a viable solution for anyone dead set on playing PC games with Sony‘s new controller.
