A review of the Sony Dual Shock 4 as a PC controller (without patching)

Among other things I bought on blackfriday - the only exciting one being a 144hz monitor at last (which was then promptly canceled as out of stock) - One of them was the Sony Playstation Dualshock 4, in some ridiculous colors. I bought it for my PC, which strikes me as odd. I also "bought" a steam link, airquotes, because it has sat in a box since it arrived. Turns out! We never bought a TV to go with it.

Regardless, the wireless on the DS4 reviewed as working well with the Steam Link, and I would like to get some use out of the link as a party game hub of sorts. But on top of that, Steam apparently added beta drivers for using the DS4 through Steam, so I thought I'd talk about my experiences with that for anyone looking to do so, and also on running it through other clients to see how those end up.

I guess this is a hardware / software review or something?
