So I was in a store the other day and picked up this controller and found it a lot more to my liking than the xbox controller. I noticed today that Sony has announced a $25 dongle that will allow it to play wirelessly on PC with full functions, no more installing special drivers. All buttons will be mapable and functioning.
It is something I may consider trying and was wondering how people feel about this controller who are using it on the PS4?

For me....I need a stiff stick . It helps with consistency. If can get a nice stroke with it....then..yes go for it. My son rips the pads with his UFC and Fifa. that just sounds wrong.

Or any Bluetooth dongle will do. Additionally, you do not need any software to use PS4 controller on your PC. It is plug and play but your game screens will elude to XB1 button format instead of PS4. You get used to that really quickly.
My take with PS4 controller on PC vs XB1 controller is it helps the swing due to the resistance on the stick that is not there with the XB1 controller. You will need to dial down the sensitivity on the "mouse/controller" in game in TGC otherwise it is very twitchy...but perhaps that is the same for XB1...
I was deadly with an XB1 controller when I was not tense, but when I tensed up, boy did I have issues with mega slice/hook. With the PS4, for me personally, I have much less of that inconsistency as long as I do the swing motion in a nice steady pace looking at the screen instead of the controller...
Take that all with a grain of salt considering the source (CC-B/CC-A player).... vs a top 100 WGR...

This is interesting. My computer does have a bluetooth chip in the motherboard tho I have never used it. I may have to look into it. Right now $25-30 for a controller may be workable. I'm seeing that the dualshock controller connects the the PS4 via a cable. So does it have batteries or such to run on so it can be done wirelessly? I'm looking at the Dualshock 4.0 *EDIT* Oh nm that is the charger cable. How long does it last on a charge?

You'll want to turn the backlight right down as it drains the battery. I use DS4Windows as it allows me to turn the light off, and also fiddle around with sensitivity etc. Not that my comp can run TGC lol

You will need the chord to charge the thing if you do not have a PC. However, any USB to mini usb cord will work for that. You can leave it plugged into your pc and put your pc in sleep mode and it should charge. When you go to play, all you need to do to get it connected via bluetooth is to hit the share and PS button on the controller simultaneously until the light starts to flash. Then on the pc go into settings, devices, bluetooth, and you should see "wireless controller" and it should say "ready to pair". Hit the pair button and you are off and running. After the first time you do this, when you go into settings, devices, bluetooth, you will already see a wireless controller that is paired, but you need to remove that one, then hit the share and PS button on the controller until the light blinks. Then pair again.... I hope I did not make that sound too cumbersome, it takes all of 30 seconds. Good luck... Shout out if you need any help...

Well I got one while down in the States. A limited edition Uncharted 4 one that was on clearance for 25.99.
I'll charge it up and see how my computer's bluetooth works with it. I'm not sure it will work well the bluetooth devices after the anniversary update has caused issues, but we'll see after I get home.

Okay got it working (via USB). Unfortunately since the anniversary update of Windows 10, something within that update has pretty much killed everything when it comes to Bluetooth connectivity with my computer. ;(
Anyway I like the Dualshock over the XB1 controller, not exactly sure why. A few thoughts about it: 1. It is going to take a while for me to get used to using all the buttons, figure out all the buttons and such. I already like much better the ability to look around the hole. It is much easier than the Mouse. 2. Trying to figure out the 100% shot thingie. The tempo is so different. I find that I almost have to really push it hard forward from the top of the backswing to get 100% but then the aim goes. When I do it in what I think is a natural tempo, I'm straight, but get the 100%. This is going to take some practice. 3. Putting. Wow. If I could play with a mouse and just use the controller for putting, I'd be in heaven. The putting tempo is exactly the way the mouse putting USED to be prior to the Dec 2015 update. It is so smooth, fluid and perfect.
I can understand why people prefer the controller. I will take some time to see if I can practice with it using the left thumb after the playoffs. I'm not sure I'll ever use it in a tournament, but I figured for $25 I'd give it a go. The xbox 1 was $99 up here in Canada. Key to electronics, buy in the US when on sale!

I find the DS4 to be a great pad in fairness it's comfortable to hold and the charge lasts a good 10 hours. I only play on PS4 and I haven't played the game on any other platform so can't really compare performance against anything else but I'm sure the folks on here with the game on all 3 platforms will give you a lowdown on the benefits/weaknesses of each pad.

I still can't the bluetooth to work properly. Nothing wrong with the controller as it works on the laptop but for some reason my computer since the Windows 10 update can't see Bluetooth devices anymore.
So next week I'll get a bluetooth dongle and see if that corrects things. If so, great, if not i'll have to see if I want to play with it using a microUSB. Either way i'll fiddle with it after all the playoffs and such.

Been practicing more with it and I'm finding I have to slightly hold the backswing and then jam it forward for a 100% swing. The other option is to try a tempo swing which is not at all consistent. I now understand Irving's videos that show the big pause at the top of the backswing.

I now understand Irving's videos that show the big pause at the top of the backswing. I use the tempo swing thing. No big pauses here and no need to jamb it forward. Guessing that is caused by frame rate problems. I have a brand new home built PC though with the GTX1070 GPU and an Intel I7 current gen processor. But when I do encounter frame rate issues, I can get a less than 100% swing.... Aside from an odd 98% or 99% swing here or there, a 95% or less swing only happens maybe once every five or six rounds. Not sure what your in game graphics settings are, but if maxed, try turning down slightly?
