Remote Play Using Ps4 Controller

Here's another tutorial about how to use keyboard and mouse on PS4 Remote Play, and about PS4 Remote Play Xbox controller support (or any other gamepad). To comfortably operate the PS4™ system during remote play, it is recommended that you use a DUALSHOCK™4 wireless controller. The following restrictions apply when using a DUALSHOCK™3 wireless controller. You cannot perform operations using the touch pad or touch pad button. You cannot use the motion sensor feature. You can use your wireless controller to play games streamed from your PS4 using the Remote Play app on PC or Mac. Your wireless controller can also be used with compatible games and applications on your PC or Mac. Please visit the publisher's website to check if a game or application supports the DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller.
