Once the driver is installed successfully, WO Mic device will be created automatically. Follow these steps to check if the device exists and is working properly: Press Windows + X and click Device Manager in the pop menu. In Device Manager, go to Sound, video and game controllers. There is no com port section in the device manager. I have updated drivers, tried different connectors etc. I did the command prompt method on both machines and there simply are no com ports. The device shows up as a mass storage device under the USB section. I cant get either machine (win 10 or 8.1) to recognize it as a com port.

DS4Windows is a portable program that allows you to get the best experience while using a DualShock 4 on your PC. By emulating a Xbox 360 controller, many more games are accessible.

Features:

• Use X360-like input to use the DS4 in more games and have rumble
• Use the touchpad as a mouse or for more actions
• Use sixaxis movement for just as many actions
• Control the Lightbar: turn it off, dynamicly change by battery level, and more
• Map the buttons and sticks to other 360 controls or keyboard actions or macros
• Use profiles to quickly switch between configurations for your controllers
• Automatically switch profiles by when a certain program(s) is launched
• Hold an action to access a new whole set of controls
• Get a reading of how the sticks and sixaxis is working
• Assign a deadzone to both analog sticks, the triggers, and the sixaxis
• Automatically get new updates

What's New:

• Added an extra precaution to unplug any permanent output devices upon service stop. ViGEmBus should handle this already but just want to make sure.
• Updated Polish translation. Contribution by gregory678
• Changed locking strategy for ControllerSlotManager collection
• Fixed right click disconnect slot index for new sorted list
• Implemented a variant of Two Stage Triggers
• Added Trigger effects presets. Currently only useful for the DualSense controller
• Added averaging gyro calibration upon device connection. Contribution by firodj
• Skip unknown DS4Controls names while loading a profile
• Fixed issue with missingSettings being set for fallback value lookup on Profile load. Constantly re-saved profiles
• Only reset outDevTypeTemp on full profile save. Ensured proper controller image is used in Binding window after clicking Apply in Profile Editor
• Change arrangement of lit LED lights for DualSense controller
• Allow Touchpad Click button passthru with Mouse and Controls mode
• Changed device type settings. Now use device specific (serial) settings. Now saved to ControllerConfigs.xml
• Added check for valid output report types upon DS4 BT device connection. Can revert to using output report 0x11 if needed. Not sure if it will matter
• Ignore output plugin routine and other calls if requested profile file does not exist

Instructions:

• Download zip
• Extract the 2 programs (DS4Windows and DS4Updater) in the zip wherever you please (My Docs, Program Files, etc.)
• Launch DS4Windows
• If not in Program Files, choose where you want to save profiles
• A windows will pop up showing how to install the driver, if not, go to settings and click 'Controller/Driver Setup'
• If you have used SCP's tool in the past, you may need to uninstall the drivers to use the DS4 with bluetooth
• Connect the DS4 via a micro usb or through bluetooth (DS4 Device name: 'Wireless Controller') may need to enter pair code: 0000)
• All should be good to go once you connect the controller, if not restart DS4Windows, or even your computer.

Note: same games work with the DS4 without DS4Windows (however it does use rumble etc.) Games like these can cause double input in menus (ie pressing down on the dpad moves 2 spaces) or the wrong button to do incorrect functions. To solve this, check Hide DS4 in the settings, if you see a warning in the log/text on the bottom, that means you must close said game or client that causes the conflict and reconnect the controller.

Requirements:

• Microsoft .NET 4.5 or higher (needed to unzip the driver and for macros to work properly)
• DS4 Driver (Downloaded & Installed with DS4Windows)
• Microsoft 360 Driver (link inside DS4Windows, already installed on Windows 7 SP1 and higher or if you've used a 360 controller before)
• Sony DualShock 4 (This should be obvious)
• Micro USB cable
• (Optional)Bluetooth 2.1+, via adapter or built in pc (Recommended) (Toshiba's bluetooth & Bluetooth adapaters using CSR currently does not work)
