Here's how to Join PlayStation Party On Windows PC.

i. There are two main ways to use a DualShock 4 controller on a Windows PC:

**1. Using a wired connection:**

* This is the simplest method and doesn't require any additional software.
* You'll need a micro-USB cable (the same type that charges the controller).
* Simply connect the micro-USB cable to the controller's port and the other end to a free USB port on your PC.
* Windows should automatically recognize the controller and install the necessary drivers.
* While it works, keep in mind that the functionality might be limited compared to using software, and some games might not recognize the buttons correctly.

**2. Using Bluetooth:**

* This method offers a wireless connection but requires slightly more setup.
* **Enable Bluetooth on your PC:** This process varies depending on your Windows version. You can usually find it in the Settings app under "Devices" or "Bluetooth & other devices."
* **Put your DualShock 4 controller into pairing mode:** Hold down the **Share** button and the **PS button** simultaneously until the light bar starts flashing rapidly.
* **Pair the controller with your PC:** On your PC, search for Bluetooth devices and select the "Wireless Controller" (or similar name). You might need to enter a pairing code (usually 0000).
* **Install additional software (Optional):** While your controller will function for basic navigation, you might want to consider installing software like DS4Windows [https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows/releases/] for a more complete experience. This software provides additional functionality like button mapping, customization options, and improved compatibility with various games.

Remember, using software like DS4Windows involves downloading and installing programs from external sources. It's crucial to exercise caution and only download from reputable sources.
