    1st gen ps4 controller not working with windows 10


    earlier this year, my friend gave me a ps4 first gen controller and told me to keep it. First thing I did was plug it into my pc with via wired can't find adapter for wireless and it doesn't have bluetooth and only having it not show up on devices nor being shown up in devices and printers, I need a fix so I can use this for my pc.


    p.s. i tried DS4 windows and steam controller drivers and both didn't work

    :)
