sure I could get like a cheapo logitech pad...

...but I'd probably still need to use Xpadder or some shit to get it working on non-steam games, AND it would probably be some serious hot garbo in the response and stability departments

@Nine you can connect the DS4 via Bluetooth

or start DS4windows with admin rights from the start

@noiob I tried out miq's official DS4 bluetooth dongle he got, but it gave me absolute TONS of input lag. like literally a full half-second. it was maddening.
