Hey there,
I just bought a PS4 controller after 2 Xbone controllers for my PC. To make it work, I tried a couple of softwares on the net so that the controller could work on my PC. After trying them all, I found the DS4Windows tool the most suitable as I could change the LED and other stuff. But I just realized, activating the controller through DS4Windows gives me 4 attached controllers, not three. This means that when DS4Windows is deactivated, the PS4 controller works like a plug and play device. It would be fine if it worked perfectly, but in games like FIFA, the controller mapping is totally different for the PS4 controller. I have no idea how to find out that what is making my controller work on its on. I hope I find a solution here.

may be you should try some software to emulate keyboard from controller, but you may lose the analog function. And you may ask for help on DS4 forum or bug report may be the author will take alook and fix. Or buy a 360 controller.

some game only support xinput as the xbox360 use so you may use software to emulate xinput for other controllers. Its what DS4windows do. Just use DS4windows remap function. or may be bug with FIFA I dont play FIFA so cant help, try google.

Thanks for the quick reply. Fifa was just an example. I have the same issue with WWE 2k15, but this only happens when any DS4Tool is running. With the DS4Tool, PS4 controls a wireless controller, and a simulated Xbox 360 controller, and so it registers a single key press twice. Without the DS4 Tool, the controller still operates, but it doesn't work properly for all games. I hope you can figure this out.
