The configuration options offered by Sony with the Dualsense and the Dualshock 4 They are natively not existing. Microsoft, via the application Xbox accessoriesAllows you to configure the operation of the buttons, controls and triggers.
But what happens if we do not have a Microsoft command or if the options that offer us not to meet our needs? Nothing happens, the solution for this problem is the application Ds4windows.
What is DS4WINDOWS
DS4WINDOWS is an application entirely free which allows to configure the operation of buttons, triggers and joysticks any order from any manufacturer, including replicasAs long as Windows is able to detect it.
With this application, we can also Reduce the input offset and problems of latency. In addition, and if, as if that were not enough, with DS4Windows, you can use your order in the games which are not compatible with the command, that is to say that they are designed keyboard and mouse.
If we have to establish a different configuration for each of the games we use on our PC, with DS4Windows, we will have no problem because this application allows you to create different Personalized profiles. In this way, we can create a profile for games compatible with the command, another profile for games that only offer keyboard and mouse medium, another for another type of command that we also want to use between others
Window4ds es compatible con Windows 10 Y Windows 11 y Requires Microsoft .NET 8.0. If our version of the operating system is Windows 8.1 Or previously, we can download a dedicated version, but we must take into account that it no longer receives support, so, if we have a problem, we do not hope that they solve it in the future. It allows you to use the Bluetooth connectivity of wireless commands.
How does it work
The first thing we have to do is match the command, a process that we can do using the loading cable (the recommended option) or the Bluetooth connectivity If the team has this.
Once we have connected the command and downloaded the application from this link, we decompress the file and execute the ds4windows.exe file and this should recognize the command we connected. Otherwise, we must repeat the process, because if it is not a sample, we will not be able to configure its operation.
Inside the tab ParametersWe can customize the operation of the application in addition to language. By default, the application shows the English interface, so the change of language is the first thing we have to do, although not all sections of the application are translated into the language of Cervantes.
To configure the operation of buttons and the joysticksWe have to access the tab Profiles and click on New. Then, all the customization options of the command (following image) will be displayed. In addition to configuring the buttons, we can also configure the light that shows control, the sensitivity of the touchpad and the operation of the gyroscope among others.
This is an application portableIt is therefore not necessary to install it. This is very useful because, simply by making a backup copy of the card, we will keep all the profiles and configurations established.
