There are a lot of people who do not limit their gaming experience to a single platform. Some prefer PCs while only using a console for exclusives, and others use the PC only for indie titles while running all the demanding AAA games on a more affordable machine.

Whatever the case may be with you, one thing is certain – you will want to use your controller on the PC as well. This is hardly a problem for Xbox One owners since their controllers have plug and play compatibility with Windows.

It is not all hopeless though! There are still several ways to connect a PlayStation 4 controller to your PC or Mac, each with its advantages and disadvantages.

So, let’s see what they are, shall we?
