Lol on them hiding the controller config. Oh and what I'm using right now for the curious:
DsHidMini with DS4Windows. I'm one of Nefarius's beta testers. This is the first one of his recent projects..and this time it's teaming with someone else..that actually WORKS reliably for me without having to go with something messier and older. /cough /cough SCPToolkit /cough /cough . Be warned though; getting that working isn't hard but it's not for the faint of heart. (And before you guys ask, despite the name it works fine with my original, never synched to a console to avoid funny business DS3.)
Just a warning, I don't know if this is the same for this, but for most Square games (I'm looking at you, you FF games on Steam, and also FFXIV) but most of them really prefer to see a Xbox controller or a controller that's actually made for a PC, not a DS3 or 4. Even with official drivers. That makes things pretty difficult, so you have to go with third party solutions. I can promise tho if you wanna try what I use, Nef does good stuff and he's never done me wrong, just his stuff had trouble sticking though a reboot sometimes, but that's beta stuff for you and maybe I just have a weird config. So, YRMV. Tho yar, I much much prefer controllers that were made for consoles for frugality reasons; console controllers are made to take a serious beating, so they are more worth your money if you really need a PC controller, and for PC controller newbies, I would highly recommend the Xbox ones b/c they're easy to set up, but try them out if you can first since if you're like me, you go with what feels good in your hands!

), but plays actually really well. This is definitely one of the better ones out there.
