Select “Wireless Device” and click Pair.Wait for the Wireless Controller device to show up in Bluetooth (select Add Device in OS X Mountain Lion or earlier – shows up automatically in Mavericks).Put the DualShock 4 into Pairing mode by pressing and holding the PlayStation and Share buttons until the light bar blinks rapidly.Open Bluetooth preferences on your Mac.In some cases it works but only with the USB cable, but if you want to pair the controller over bluetooth anyway, follow this procedure from mactrast: It's either that is the reason why it's not working or the DS4 is just not compatible with my games (I think it should be tho, since it's supposed to work as a regular joystick when plugged thru USB cable). Is this a requirement for the controller to work?
I've read on the manual that comes with the controller titled "Registering (pairing) the controller" that there is a need to pair it on the PS4 console to complete registration. I tried the controller on Fez, Rayman Origins and Monaco-which all have joystick support-but no luck.Īlso tried mapping the controller thru Joystick Mapper, it will say "1 Joystick Connected" but when I try to bind the controller, click "scan" while clicking a button on the controller, nothing.
And that is because if you’re using either of those platforms, then you don’t have to use any additional software or hardware for streaming. Well, to be honest, it is much easier to stream from PS4 and Xbox One. The computer detects the controller but the games I have doesn't seem to recognize any inputs on the DS4. On Twitch, people can very easily live stream while playing games on almost every platform like PC, Mac, Xbox, and PS4. I got the DS4 yesterday (controller only, no console) and tested it on my Mac but it doesn't seem to work. I read here that the DS4 will work on Mac out-of-the-box by plugging the controller via a micro USB cable-they said it will automatically work as a regular joystick.
