This presents a problem for DS4Windows +since the created virtual Xbox 360 controller will be mapped to KB+M actions +for desktop mode and games launched outside of the Steam client. In order to +use DS4Windows properly, you have to open Steam Big Picture Mode, navigate to +Settings > Controller> Controller Settings and uncheck **Xbox Configuration +Support** along with **PlayStation Configuration Support**. + ## Pull Requests Pull requests for DS4Windows are welcome.
