A userspace driver for the Sony DualShock 4 controller on Linux, written in Python. It supports Bluetooth and USB connections, Xbox 360 controller emulation, LED control, trackpad-as-mouse, and custom button mappings.
Use cases
- use a DualShock 4 controller on Linux
- emulate an Xbox 360 controller for Steam games
- use the DS4 trackpad as a mouse
- remap DS4 buttons to keyboard or mouse actions
- get low battery warnings from the controller LED
- connect a DS4 over Bluetooth or USB
When to choose
- you want to use a DualShock 4 with Linux games or Steam
- you need custom controller-to-keyboard/mouse mappings
- your BlueZ version can't pair with the DS4 natively
When to avoid
- you're on Windows, macOS, or another non-Linux OS
- you need a kernel-level driver or non-DS4 controller support
- you need actively developed features beyond basic DS4 support
