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.

Wait, what? Microsoft has always allowed controller to be played on Computers. Xbox 360 and Xbox One Controllers can be used with computer games.

No you can't unless its an xbox controller with build in cable not wireless and here you can actually see that this is wireless ps4 controller with plug and play (xbox 360 controller doesn't work with plug and play (Charger kit) to be connected and work on a PC and I doubt it will work for xbox one))
