[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 989442, member: 199791"] The buttons are there, yes, but in the eyes of the playstation, the PS3 pad will be a "Generic gamepad" on a PS4 and vice versa (like I said, I've tried it!), things like the variable-pressure trigger paddles (L2 and R2) don't work properly and just act as plain buttons, which makes 'em a tad useless... :-lol The touchpad on a PS4 controller is also a button, but nonfuctional on other platforms (unless assigned to do something, you can use it as a mouse on a PC with DS4windows), personally I think its a pointless addition to the controller, but overall I like my PS4 controller on my PC, just wish that big touchpad wasn't there... :) One added bonus of the PS4 controller, it uses Bluetooth 3.0+, so if you have a PC with a relatively recent enough bluetooth adaptor, you can use it wirelessly with little to no mods required, just needs pairing to the bluetooth receiver (Pressing and holding "Share" and the PS button together 'til the lightbar starts pulse-flashing, then pairing on the PC by however it's done) and DS4windows running... :) [/QUOTE]
