Reader Bruce Harris would like to get double-duty from a gaming device. He writes:</p>

I purchased a PlayStation 4 and an extra DualShock 4 controller for two-player games. I rarely use the second controller and wondered if I could use it to play games on my Mac.

You can, though with some games you’ll need extra help. Before we get to that let’s start with the hardware configuration.</p><p>
As you know, the DualShock 4 controller has a micro USB port on the back, just below the status light. You use this port to initially pair the controller with the PS4. But it can also operate as a link between the controller and your Mac. Just string a USB cable between the two and the controller is ready to use.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2597642/how-to-use-a-game-controller-with-your-mac.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
