Also, many games will have some issues if you try to play a game that supports both Xbox and PS4 controllers natively using this emulation software, requiring an extra fix. This works fine (it's what I do), but in most cases it still displays Xbox buttons (unless you mod the game). This makes the computer see the PS4 controller as an Xbox controller, so you can use it to play games that only have Xbox controller support. However, you can use a PS4 controller with software such as the recently-added Steam PS4 controller support, or the older DS4Windows. In a few newer titles, such as Rocket League and more recent Ubisoft games, they do have full support, but in the majority of games they still aren't officially supported (including Dark Souls). PS4 controllers are not natively supported in the majority of games. Most games will automatically detect it and show the correct button prompts. So Xbox controllers are basically plug-and-play - just plug it in, download the drivers, and you're good to go. The thing to keep in mind is that basically all PC games that support controllers support Xbox controllers (specifically, the Xinput API).
