PC PS4 controller
Hi I’ve been playing on PS4 and like the ease of the controller. I’m thinking of upgrading to pc but like chilling on the sofa without having to mess around too much with a mouse and keyboard. Does anyone else on here use a PS4 controller on pc. One of the main reasons to go on pc is the follow me mod (love a farm convoy thanks in advance
Re: PC PS4 controller
Yes I did for a while but it doesn't always work smoothly. You need software called ds4windows which emulates an Xbox controller. In the end I just bought a wired Xbox one controller for ease of use.

Re: PC PS4 controller
Yes, I use my PS4 controller on PC all the time. For a while it did work natively for some games (Gold Rush), just plug & play, without using ds4windows but then Microsoft seemed to make a change to Win10 forcing the use of the software and having to edit the registry a little. Main hardship now is the in-game prompts come up with the XBox style buttons and you have to translate them but you get used to it. Works really well, I do have an XBox controller I could use but I much prefer the PS controller layout.

For ease if use, buy an Xbox one controller and just link it through Blue tooth. Be aware you'll still need to use a keyboard for a fair few PC mods.

Cheers. Like the said the main mod I’ll be using on the pc is the follow me mod. After that it’s just being able to have a load more bales aswell. I think I could get to grips with an Xbox controller
Re: PC PS4 controller
Once you see how many mods PC has, you’ll be using a lot more lol

Re: PC PS4 controller
This is the controller I use. No software required and works good. Closest thing I've found to a PS controller.

im using steam, and a cabled ps4 ds4 workes great. the only trouble i get is if i use a mod that has key bindings that isent in FS for consoles.. but thath can be fixed, i now turn on and of gps, and turn on the auto steering With the Controller. the adjustments i do With the keyboard for the ease of it, and its a lot of key bindings to set, so i dont bother..

Re: PC PS4 controller
I also bought a cheap DS-style controller (I think it is a Logitech and cost $20) for the kid that is Windows compatible and works perfectly plug and play on PC. Holding it up next to a PlayStation controller I can't really see what the difference is between the two so if you're used to that I think you probably have lots of options for a similar experience on PC without much hassle.
Re: PC PS4 controller
I use my PS4 controller for playing FS all the time on PC, no problem. You don't need the third party ds4Windows software anymore since Windows now supports the PS4 controller natively. The only issue I have is that bluetooth and windows can be quite temperamental.
I was a long time FS player on the PS4 and upgraded to PC earlier this year. If you seriously love the game then PC is really where its at. Its just such a different experience.
