This is the one reason why I CANNOT switch to linux, even though I REALLY want to. Nothing in linux will let me have the ability to literally REMAP every single button, to whatever other BUTTONS I want, including mouse clicks, button combos, macros, turbo, scripts, etc for ANY FUCKING GAME that exists. NOTHING ELSE lets me overclock the polling rate to 1ms or lower. DS4windows lets me have 0.5ms latency over wireless (not a typo), which is ABSOLUTELY INDISPENSABLE.
just use steam big picture bro and chill yo-ur controller autism

>Nothing in linux will let me... except steam does that but sure keep making excuses for your controller autism
Justin Harris
I don't want to be mean but did your retarded ass try to suggest MACROS don't exist in linux?
Aiden Gomez
I don't use steam (I'm serious). Only pirate games. And can it do that as simple as I can on windows if I'm retarded?
Hunter Turner
steam's own input override system dabs all over ds4 windows
Connor Wood
Just download steam bro
Michael Morris
you can't even USE your ds4 as simple as linuxchads can, especially for older software.
Ryder Cook
Steams controller set up is pretty good but can you set it up for non-steam games? I remember trying to do it for Final Fantasy XI at some point but I think the launcher threw a wrench into the whole thing.
Andrew Gray
Yes, I use a sega genesis controller as a midi drum.
Aiden Reyes
>but can you set it up for non-steam games? Yes, just add them to steam
Angel Diaz
>I don't use steam (I'm serious). >Only pirate games. Steam doesn't care if you're playing a pirated game or not. If you launch the game using it you can use their controller settings
>I don't use steam (I'm serious). >Only pirate games. So? You can still use it.
Daniel Brooks
He doesn't even know most linux distros support DS4 natively. Why do you think he would know steam features work with non-steam games
Aiden Davis
is that FUCKING gnome? on this sacred taiwanese kernel compiling imageboard?

>He doesn't even know most linux distros support DS4 natively. Which post in this thread suggests that? >Why do you think he would know steam features work with non-steam games That's not a substitute for just using DS4Windows.

Jack Hernandez
>0.5ms latency over wireless lmao you actually believe that
Carson Davis
>gets called out >LOL I WASN'T PRETENDING TO BE THE OP AT ALL! next time just make another post in the thread before replying to someone like that and people won't be able to tell right away, nigger
Can you quote the post that suggests OP doesn't know Linux doesn't support DS4 natively? You can't. You are unable to. You imagined it in your diseased schizo brain.
Carson Roberts
>doesn't support *supports
Nathan Long
see But here is the best part. I made that up. And you've been repeating like it's true. So you also didn't know.
Grayson Adams
>WHY does something like this NOT EXIST FOR LINUX? because (you) have not yet found a group of like minded people and helped them make it code is available at github.com/ds4win/ds4windows so you don't have to start from scratch also, isn't DS4 driver already in the Linux kerrnel? or is that for some other controller? in either case, Linux is flexible enough to make it possible for DS4 to act as a steering wheel and a drawing tablet at the same time you just need people who are interested in doing it
Matthew Garcia
>also, isn't DS4 driver already in the Linux kerrnel? or is that for some other controller? no generic linux drivers just work well enough with linux for some games
Levi Roberts
You really need to take meds. This is far beyond >merely pretending. OP wants to use the features that DS4Windows provides. This has nothing to do with native DS4 support. Windows supports DS4 natively, same as Linux. DS4Windows provides additional features. Linux doesn't have DS4Windows, nor any equivalent.
Nathan Ramirez
>what is ds4drv
Caleb Nelson
Yeah, DS4 was made for wireless, there's a reason why DS4 on PS4 didn't support USB connection for years, since DS4 USB has only 250hz polling rate, as opposed to 1000hz wireless. People heavily overestimate the wireless latency. It's only an issue where you're behind multiple layers of obstacles or like 10 meters from receiver. In regular PC environment you're going to get constant 1-1.25 ms input lag with DS4.
Jace Sanchez
The controller works i dont have to do anything. But i wish the light would go off so i gurss i want ds4windows for linux.
James Morris
Finally, a non-trash helpful reply. >command-line only Disgusting, but it's better than nothing. I just hope one day I can let go of windows and make the switch for all games. >Windows supports DS4 natively, same as Linux >Linux doesn't have DS4Windows, nor any equivalent The thing with linuxfags is they are incredibly disingenuous. I really want to make the switch, but you guys do a shit job at convincing people with your autism.
Colton Robinson
sony maintains a driver themselves there are multiple tools linked in this thread to rebind the buttons I'm sure you can find something to lie to you about input lag what more do you even want
Lincoln Gomez
You can set the led color in Steam. Or if outside of steam you can try OpenRGB, or just use set the color manually in `/sys/class/leds/`. Keep in mind that a few games have built-in support for the thing and will fuck with the led color.
Michael Sanchez
>Windows supports DS4 natively, which is kinda useless for older shit since it's dinput.
Connor Lewis
That literally applies to linux as well
Adam Morgan
Linuxfags are bringing about the next copioid crisis
Adrian Davis
Some games have crazy input lag when I use the Steam controller support and none when I use DS4Windows. Other games work better without DS4Windows. It's all very annoying.
Jose Morales
>Wander into thread with uninformed assumptions >Get told you're wrong >It's COPE IT'S COPE Dude it's ok to be scared of linux, but don't be a freaking weenie
>Only pirate games. add as non-steam game, use steam input
Elijah Gutierrez
How about no? I am not that user but I do not wish for features to be tied to Steam. I thought this was Linux we were talking about here, after all.
Gabriel Reed
>Linux doesn't have DS4Windows, nor any equivalent. steam input
Brody Lee
steam's controller config can be used separately
Jack Howard
Hmm not at that compy right now but it looks like you just pipe 0 into the pseudofile called "brightness". (If pseudofile is the right thing to call it.) Kino if true.
James Butler
>Disgusting Linux isn't for you. Literally do not bother trying it.
Ayden King
>use Steam to play non-Steam games never ever
Wyatt Gutierrez
Are you seriously so retarded that you don't know about Steam Input?
You dont know thay unless your modd scum and if so your a fag and weong anyway.
Juan Garcia
Not him but it's not quite "ootb". The driver has support for it and some DEs do activate it by default but otherwise you have to manually activate it Just being pedantic I use arch with KDE and love using my ds4 btw
Andrew Torres
>If you launch the game using it This is fucking retarded and why I will never use Steam's controller "support". Call me when they add an option for a global config that is active at all times unless a game overrides it.
