For guys saying they play their PC on the TV from their couch. Do you always use gamepad or you also use wireless m&kb? Also, do you set it up so it boots up directly to Steam Big Picture? I was thinking of doing that at some point.
I use DS4Windows in combination with a dualsense controller and boot normally.
I basically set up 3 modes for the Dualsense which you can switch between by using the PS button + Dpad Down, and which are indicated by the LED strip color.
White = Windows mode, Blue = Dualshock 4 mode, and Green = Xbox mode.
in Windows Mode the Dpad, Sticks, Triggers and buttons all function like an Xbox controller with Options being Start/Menu and Touchpad button being Back/View.
but the Touchpad itself will work as the mouse, the Mute button is Right Click and the Share button is Left Click.
I tried using the touch pad as left click and a corner click as right click but that just kills precision as this thing is not meant to be a PC touch pad.
with Left Click on Share you can move the mouse with precision and still left click easily and without accidentally moving the cursor doing so.
I also set up other shortcuts that are bound to holding the PS (home) button and pressing a dipad direction.
PS + Dpad Down = mode switch (like I already said)
PS + Dpad Up = ALT + Enter (so I can fullscreen or window anything quickly
PS + Dpad Left = Windows Button, so I can basically alt/tab out or do other stuff while a game is running
PS + Dpad Right = Win + P, which opens the video output menu on the right, so I can switch back to my PC monitor with the controller, or back to TV.
thankfully you can control that menu with the dpad of the controller so once you know where all the options are you can do it blindly
but once you switch it to Dualshock 4 mode it will literally behave and will be detected by the PC as a Dualshock 4... if you set it to Xbox mode it will be detected and work like an Xbox One/SX controller
