Amazing deal

This is a great deal for what is included. I purchased this expecting the worse as the price was too good to be true, expecting that the controller may not work with my PlayStation 4 console and would only work with the wireless game pad reciever on a computer, or that the controller was the old DualShock 4 model (CUH-ZCT1) but was surprised to find out it works perfectly fine and that it does in fact come with the brand new DualShock 4 controller (CUH-ZCT2). Controller works perfectly fine wired and wireless with the PlayStation 4 console and as expected, is a brand new controller and not a pre-owned one. Unfortunately though this did not come with the controllers charging USB cable but for this deal it's not a huge problem and anyone that doesn't already own one can buy one or simply use an Android phone charger. But I would definitely recommend this product as it's a great deal overall.

I bought this kit to play games on my laptop. Since I am mainly playing sort of first person games and FIFA, I am used to playing on the PS4 and not as much with a keyboard and mouse. Overall I got this working great on my laptop and have not had any trouble with my Steam games. I also installed DS4windows to ensure I could play with games that sometimes don't support the PS4 controller.

Took me a minute to get everything set up, but it was easy, plug adapter into computer, push the whole unit towards your computer and hold until the light blinks rapidly meaning sync mode has been activated. Then press and hold the PS button and the Share button on the controller, the light will blink and then turn solid and when it does your synced. Big Picture mode on steam works just fine with it and recognizes it as a dualshock. Couldn't attest the signal strength because I'm right next to my tower when I'm using it. For what I bought it for I am very pleased with the purchase. Not to mention it was cheaper to buy the adapter with the controller that it would be to buy a controller by itself.

Good controller, finicky adapter

I bought this combo pack since it was on sale for $40 (normally $70). The controller is great, however the adapter is finicky when connecting on PC. I had to use DS4 WINDOWS (because Sony doesn't offer their own native drivers yet, unlike xbox), and it picked up the adapter as wireless USB. Most of the time, it doesn't pair up correctly and switches to a default Playstation 4 profile, so you'll have to create your own on DS4Windows (or equivalent controller mapper software). From there, the controller can be recognized as an Xbox controller (xinput) or a generic mapped controller (Directinput). Most games support the former, while some support the latter. Steam supports configuration for the controller, if you don't want to use an input mapping software, though it's in beta.
Also, connectivity is as light as a piece of paper. Any interference between the adapter and the controller, such as your phone or WiFi device, will increase latency. You can use Bluetooth to connect the controller without the adapter, though you'll lose the wireless audio feature (which also cuts out every few minutes or so).
Battery life is surprisingly good. For 1-3 hour bursts everyday for a week, the battery will go down to 10-15%. You charge it through micro USB (which somehow Sony sells their own separately) using your phone cable, or with their charging station.
Overall, if you want to use this controller wirelessly, you're better off using Bluetooth, unless you want wireless audio. Track pad feels alright , though be noted you have to press on it for clicks instead on tapping it. Other than frequent first-time pairing problems with the Sony adapter, the controller is great, and has a track pad for mouse input!

An Excellent Controller & Useful USB Receiver

This is a bundle that includes both a PS4 controller and a USB receiver that allows you to use the controller on a computer. I got the latest model of controller in my bundle (CUH-ZCT2, the one with the light bar on the touchpad). It's a genuine PS4 controller so it's excellent (there are tons of reviews out there for that already).
The USB receiver works well, at least it did for me. Windows 10 recognized it right away and I didn't have to lift a finger for it to find the drivers. Pairing it with the controller is a little odd though. you have to push the USB stick in until it flashes and then you have to hold the PS4 controller PS button down for a few seconds until it flashes and syncs up. After that it works just like it does on the PS4. I didn't run into any lag or problems. The only thing is there is no way to tell how much controller battery you have until it suddenly dies.
It works great in Steam as long as you set it up with Steam first. It's nice that for Steam games you don't have to use a 3rd party emulator/button mapper. And it seems that if the game supports the XBox 360 controller (I have a wired one) it supports the PS4 controller through Steam. Although, I only have a few games so I wasn't able to extensively test it.
I bought this bundle for the controller to use with my PS4 because I was able to get it on sale for less than regular controllers sell for on sale. But now I can use all of the my PS4 controllers with my Steam games if I want wireless.

Cheaper than the controller by itself.

Saw this tucked away in the corner at my local Best Buy without a price. Got a price check and this was cheaper than a controller by itself. This even came with the new style controller where there's a light at the top of the touch pad.
Set up on the computer is easy, just need a decent local WIFI signal and download a small program to get things going.
The only thing I don't like is that if you hit the PS button and have Steam installed on your computer, it will start the Steam program. I haven't tried playing any games on Steam with it however, so not sure if it works or not.

Great deal... comes with a dual shock 4 (new version) and usb wireless adapter for pc. Works great on the computer if you download some 3rd party software.
A:Yes it works just fine because Windows 10 recognizes it as a wireless controller. It may not have the exact mapping of the controller but you can always change that.
A:I do not know about LAN party unless you have multiple PS4s on the LAN. However, if you are playing games that allow side-by-side multiplayer then extra controllers definitely come in handy. If you are talking about using this with a PC and a PS4 on the same LAN, I guess it would depend on the game. I am not sure of which games allow cross-platform multiplayer like that though.
