Hello need some help, got my new PC, trying to connect DualShock 4 to PC, i don't have BT in my system but i have a USB receiver i got with my Logitech MK240.
I was sure it's supposed to get the DS4 as well but i'm trying for hours and no luck.
Tried 2 DS4, one old PS4 version and one Pro version, press both share and ps buttons untill controller flashes but in "add Bluetooth" screen in win10 i see noting... like i don't have any BT devices.

Now i see on Amazon their selling Bluetooth adapter... is this the same thing?
The BT USB receiver that come with mouse and keyborad even capable of conneting to other deviecs like DS4?

Thanks Smile

it doesnt work because its not a bluetooth receiver, logitech uses their own (very shady cause it has many security holes) proprietary protocol.

you need a proper bt dongle, not the cheap chinese ones from ebay for a dollar. the asus bt400 is a decent one, should be available for around 10 bucks (but every other bt 4.x dongle should work fine as well, they are mostly priced between 8-15 bucks). sony sells an "official" one, but its the same, just an overpriced standard bt adapter

ohh thats good to know
was a bit worried i wouldn't be able to play from my bad and on tv.
will try to buy cheap one tomorrow and hopefully it will work.

btw i tried 2 more mouse receivers that was lying around and that also didn't give my any BT in windows, so i guess an adapter needed.

Thanks mate
