You can do it with this:

Amazon.com: IOGEAR KeyMander Controller Emulator for use with Game Console (GE1337P): Computers Accessories

You will have to do the customization yourself. Witcher 3 (I own both versions - I play the PS4 version because I enjoy it on my big screen with controller and home theater sound) looks good on PS4. Noodle said it is an under-powered PC and yeah it is, but that isn't the point since you will get this bundle as a gift. Realize that more and more games are cross platform developed as you know, with less and less emphasis on truly outstanding PC graphical titles. You can still notice the differences between high powered rigs and resolution updates between the two platforms, but my PS4 gets more use than my PC and my PC isn't anything to scoff at. (i5 2500k OC'd to 4.5 ghz, 8 Gb Ram, GTX 770 video card).

You will also have access to some good games you should really try out, and are cheap now.

The Last of Us
God of War 3 Remastered
Until Dawn
Alien Isolation
Witcher 3 (Which you said you will get)
Uncharted Remastered
Upcoming Uncharted 4
Journey
Bloodborne


I own this, the Wii U, Xbone, PC, Gameboy 3DS, Vita, PS3 (Used now for streaming mostly)

The PS4 gets a LOT of use.
Just saying if you're gonna go console, fully embrace the game pad

At one point we all sucked with the new controllers but we all adapted. I don't believe in buying kbm emulators.

Bloodborne is a real bitch for someone who hasn't played on a console or with a controller in about 10 years.

Fucking lame. Got an Uncharted bundle and the right d-pad on the DS4 is screwed up. Have to press it hard for it to register.

Best to get used to it early.

In 6 months you'll have to buy thumbstick covers because you'll notice the rubber start to wear away on the stock ones. Then, 6 months later, your R2 trigger is going to start to stick and totally shit the bed.

It is known.

The controller QA is pretty atrocious for PS4. I've owned 4, two have had minor squeek/control problems early on. Ones that are good seem to stay good though. I do recommend kontrol freek pads though, make them seem to last longer and you get slightly better accuracy. You could always buy a new controller and then exchange your system controller sayings the new one you bought is defective, easier than having to return your system but you will end up with 2 controllers still.

I've had 2 replacement controllers - only had build issues with my first. (And mind you I dropped it on tile floors a bunch of times first when it comes to the trigger damage)

And even then it still works OK, just not perfect.

So I've had 4 controllers. One is completely unusable, the right analog stick stopped registering movements correctly on the top half of the movement range. Like pushing it straight up would cause the game to act like you are moving the stick in random directions. Two of the others have the rubber falling off, but nothing that wasn't fixed by grips. The last one doesn't have any issues.

Well, no noodle the PS4 stock controllers are pretty poorly made.

You can really see it if you played a lot of Destiny. I've been through a couple controllers. Everything from the Vibration mode to buttons malfunctioning.

I wish they would make an elite controller for the PS4, just for the added functionality of the skuff buttons.

Yeah, the rubber on my original PS4 sticks rubbed off. I then got those little rubber thumb grips, which prevent it and have way more grip.

I use the rubber grips just because the analog sticks are annoying on your hands. They also break down after time, but they cost almost nothing to replace ,and you get more then one set.

The strangest thing about PS4 controlers is again displayed in Destiny. Almost all of the stock ones cause weapon jams on the trigger, but for some reason the blue controllers do not.

Yeah the DS4 1.0s were shit but after I fixed the RT/LT spring they've been fine.

First thing I did with Destiny on PS4 was to switch the aim/fire to L1/R1 (which was the default on PS3).

Second thing I did was uninstall it.

I play a lot of games where I abuse the shit out of R2... Rocket League, and Diablo 3 come immediately to mind.

I've probably put a disproportionate amount of wear on it.
