PS4 controllers apparently compatible with OS X

4.5
Like the DualShock 3, the next iteration of the PlayStation controller design works surprisingly well on an Apple-branded computer. Product developer Chris Gallizzi demonstrates the functionality in a Vine clip below, but offers no explanation on how he was able to convince the Sony controller to play nice with Apple's hardware.

If the DualShock 4 functions similarly to its predecessor in this capacity, it should offer simple Bluetooth connectivity under OS X. Simply fire up your Mac, turn on the controller, follow a few simple instructions, and you're done. Creating the link takes less than five minutes, and requires no more skill than changing your desktop's wallpaper.

Ted- If XB1 has bluetooth connectivity then it will be able to do the same thing.


If it has Bluetooth connectivity that would be great.


Bluetooth connectivity is something that i really wanted with the Xbox 360 controller, too bad that it never really happened. I would like to see the Xbox One controller with Bluetooth connectivity

Gossip I wonder if you can play COD on PC with this controller..


That would be pretty awesome if you could.


Gaming? On a Mac? LOL. That's a joke, right?


The bigger joke is wanting to use a controller over a mouse and keyboard.


It actually really helps out while playing some games and especially when trying to use an emulator.

I hate having to use the mouse on my computer for gaming. Controllers are way better.
