I just built my PC last night and this was awesome. I had to download the Bluetooth driver, but once I did that everything worked as advertised!

This doesn't work for me. I do the bt connecting to my pc, so far so good, but once in steam big picture the controller is not detected :\

So I do all of these but still my controller doesn’t get detected on Steam. I do get connected on Bluetooth, but Steam controller setting just doesn’t detect it

Any idea how to fix when controllers are connected but not showing in steam?

[toshy]

Thanks. Just an heads-up 1) if you connect it through bluetooth to your PC, you will no longer be able to start up your PS4 wirelessly by pressing the home button. 2) It also doesn't auto-connect if you restart the PC or when you shut bluetooth on-off, making it troublesome as you'd need to manually remove the paired controller and connect it again in order for it to work.

TLDR: rather use a cable

Steam doesn’t recognize my controller. I successfully connected it via Bluetooth but steam will not detect my controlle
