Why choose the PlayStation 4 controller as Steam's next officially supported gamepad? Well, it turns out the DualShock 4 and the Steam Controller have a lot in common -- in addition to having a standard gamepad layout, the DualShock 4 also features a touchpad and gyro sensor that can be mapped to mouse or joystick movement. Properly configured, this means the DS4 can be used to navigate mouse-only menus and implement Splatoon-like tilt controls in first person shooters.

For now, DualShock 4 support is only available in Steam's beta client, and even then it needs to be activated in a special menu. Still, it's a great alternative for PC gamers that want more control options, but weren't interested in learning how to use Valve's official gamepad.
