How can I play my PS4 guitar on my PC?

Answered by Ricardo McCardle

To play your PS4 guitar on your PC, follow these steps:

1. Make sure the guitar is turned on by pressing the PS-button on the guitar. This will power it on and activate Bluetooth mode.

2. Next, press and hold the SYNC button on the guitar until you see the LED light flashing rapidly. This puts the guitar in pairing mode, allowing it to connect to your PC.

3. On your PC, go to the “Settings” menu and navigate to the Bluetooth devices settings. This is typically accessed through the Control Panel or the System Settings.

4. Wait for the guitar to appear in the list of available devices. It should be listed as “Wireless Controller” or something similar. Select the guitar to pair it with your PC.

5. Once the pairing process is complete, your PC should recognize the guitar as a game controller. You can check this by going to the “Devices” settings on your PC and seeing if the guitar is listed as a connected device.

6. If your PC does not automatically recognize the guitar as a game controller, you may need to manually configure it. To do this, you can use third-party software like JoyToKey or DS4Windows. These programs allow you to map the guitar’s buttons and controls to keyboard inputs, enabling you to use it in games and applications.

7. After configuring the guitar, you can test it out by launching a game or application that supports game controllers. Make sure to go into the game’s settings and select the guitar as your input device.

Note: It’s important to note that not all games and applications will support the use of a PS4 guitar as a game controller. You may need to do some research or experimentation to find compatible software. Additionally, some games may require additional setup or calibration for optimal performance with the guitar.

Playing your PS4 guitar on your PC is possible with the right setup and configuration. By following the steps outlined above, you should be able to connect and use your guitar for gaming and other applications on your PC.
