Anyone use a DualShock 4 on PC? I bought one for FFXI and I really like it. I haven't downloaded a wrapper or anything, I just plugged it in and played.

However, sometimes I'm getting double inputs with the X button. I'll press it to confirm and the game will register the input twice. I can't seem to replicate it on command, it occurs randomly. I can't tell if this same problem would occur with the other face buttons or if it's how I'm pressing the button or what.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is it inherent to the DS4 or is mine defective?

You're not using any sort of program like DS4Windows, right?

I know that with that plugin, you have to hide the controller for some games that support xinput (older titles like XI and some like Dark Souls, as examples), since sometimes they double register clicks. It tricks the game into thinking it's a pure Xbox style controller that way. Might be a starting point to figuring out your issue, at least.

I personally use DS4Windows v1.4.245 for mine, since it gives some good options and compatibility. Stuff like the ability to change the color on the LED light, as well as save profiles for various games, and some other interesting things. I'd say maybe look into that as an alternative.

I've been trying to get my DS4 working. I have tried both DS4windows and inputmapper. Both give me the same issue. I go to gamepad config on ffxi settings and the L2/R2 are acting as the right stick. I cannot find a way to fix this at all. Tried mapping the controller to the keyboard and that didn't work either. Unsure what to do if anyone else had this issue and resolved it.
