How to Display Playstation Buttons on Screen with DS4 Windows

This guide helps to display Playstation buttons on the Screen with DS4 Windows using the easiest and most quick way.

  • Begin by opening the DS4Windows software on your computer.
    This allows you to use PlayStation controllers with your PC.
  • Plug your PlayStation controller (either a PS4 or PS5 controller) into your computer’s USB port.
  • As the controller is connected, you should see it being recognized by the DS4Windows software on your computer.
  • Within the DS4Windows software, look for a button labeled Edit.
    This button allows you to modify the controller settings.
  • By clicking the Edit button, you’ll access options for customizing how your PlayStation controller is emulated on your PC.
Please Reload/Refresh this tab.
  • Within the DS4Windows interface, locate and click on the Other tab and look for a section called Virtual Controller Settings.
    This is where you’ll make changes to how your PlayStation controller is emulated.
  • Under Virtual Controller Settings, locate the Emulation Type option and click on it to access a dropdown menu of available emulation types.
  • From the dropdown menu, select DualShock 4 as the new emulation type.
    This setting will make your controller emulate a PlayStation controller.
  • At the top of the interface, find and click the Save button. This action will save the changes you’ve made to the emulation type.
  • With the emulation type set to DualShock 4, your PlayStation controller should now be recognized as a PlayStation controller by your PC.
