    I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 and I forgot what ds4 tool I used for the DS4. What was the one that Brad was talking about a couple of weeks ago on the Bombcast?

    DS4Windows is definitely where it's at. It works with pretty much anything that supports an Xbox 360 controller.

    I'd probably try that out at some point, except that the tool I used to make my PC think the PS3 controller was a 360 controller does it on some deeper system level than that DS3 tool and for the life of me I can't remember what it's called so I can't look for it.

    What I used was real slick though, at least for PS3 controllers, pretty much whenever you plugged it in it'd think it was a 360 controller. Also made it possible for bluetooth with a dongle. No hassle. Just changing any settings is kind of beyond me now :P

    Hope that helps.

    I use the one at ds4windows.com. InputMapper looks sketchy as hell.

    DS4windows asks you to update to the latest version (InputMapper) itself. I was really confused after the update myself.

    @hypnotoadbrwowrowrow: I think they're two separate projects called DS4Windows. I just updated it today and it's different than InputMapper.
