Hardcore PC gamers often swear by the precision of a mouse and keyboard - it's so popular that even console players sometimes prefer keyboards to joysticks.

However, there's no denying that leaning back with a controller in your hand is much more relaxing than crouching over a mouse and keyboard.

Fortunately, just like you can connect your mouse and keyboard to a PS4, you can likewise connect your PS4 controller to a PC.

Here are three different ways to connect your PS4 controller to a Windows 10 PC.

How to connect PS4 controller to PC with USB

If you want to connect the controller with a micro-USB cable (the same cable you use to charge the controller), you have two options.

Connect via Steam

If you're a PC gamer, chances are that you have a Steam account. Luckily, Steam makes connecting new controllers easy.

1. Open Steam and click the 'Big Picture Mode' icon in the top-right - it looks like a square with two arrows pointing out.

2. Once in Big Picture Mode, select the gear icon at the top-right to navigate to Settings.

You can now use the PS4 controller on your PC with a micro-USB cable, although you may need to restart your computer first.

How to connect PS4 controllerto PC with Bluetooth

If your PC supports Bluetooth - and if it was made in the last ten years, chances are it does - you can pair and connect your controller wirelessly.

This method also works for the newer PS5 DualSense controller, although that controller might not be supported by every game.

1. Open your PC's search menu (you can press the Windows key + Q to open it immediately) and search for 'Bluetooth.'

2. When 'Bluetooth and other devices settings' appears in the search results, click on it.

3. Make sure your computer has Bluetooth enabled by setting the switch labeled 'Bluetooth' to 'On.'

4. Hold down the Playstation and Share buttons on your controller until the backlight starts flashing.

6. You'll see your PS4 controller listed as 'Wireless Controller.' Click it to finalize the connection. If you're asked for a passcode, enter '0000.'
