Ps4 Controller On Pc

[(PSN)Dark-TailedFox]

So I recently decided to download warframe on my laptop to relive some moments I can't repeat on my PS4 anymore (at least until quest replays are introduced).

 

But as a primarily console player, I'm really bad at keyboard and mouse usage for action based timing and such. So I tried to plug in my DS4 and bind it to the actions in the game, but noticed that the game wouldn't read it even though my computer does.

 

Do I need a 3rd party software to make it read properly or do I have to download files so its read as a 360 controller instead?

I haven't actually tried it, since I honestly prefer keyboard and mouse for shooter games. Try researching it with Google, if none can answer your question first.

EDIT 3: I found a video on YouTube video.

You will need a 3rd party program to make things work with a PS4 controller. I play using a PS3 controller and had to download a program that made the PS3 controller be recognized as an Xbox one, since windows and all.

But the thing is it works fine on another game I play from time to time (Elsword) as just a straight plug and play. Warframe is the only game I can't seem to get it to work on for the minute.

 

It's..awkward to play that escape with a keyboard personally..

You need this program in order to use the the DS4 controller with Warframe. You can set up multiple controller profiles, change the light color, and etc.
