I use an Xbox 1 controller. DS4 does work. I used it to run my PS4 controller for a good while.

I like ps controlers more actually, but I use an xbox controler on windows, due to this reason. I don't want to use an external buggy software to use my controler. I don't know why ximput isn't working for you, it works for me whenever I use DS4windows. I would suggest you getting an xbox controler.

sure, could you link me to it?

it works for me.
your using this one right: https://github.com/Jays2Kings/DS4Window … indows.zip
it was last updated around 2015, 2016, but works good.

I am using an SN30 Pro+ gamepad made by 8bitdo. It's basically a Super Nintendo inspired Bluetooth controller, but with added analog sticks and two trigger buttons. Form factor wise, it's more along the line of a PS4 controller. You can use it wired via USB (it comes with a USB type C cable for charging and using it wired), or Bluetooth.
One of the things I like about it is that it can work on many different platforms. It can be used on the Nintendo Switch, macOS, Android via DirectInput, and on Windows via X-Inputt. As a bonus, if you have any of 8bitdo's Bluetooth Retro Receivers for the original NES, SNES, NES and SNES Classic Edition, and Sega Genesis/MegaDrive (which are Bluetooth dongles that are designed to plug into the controller ports of the aforementioned consoles), you can use this controller on there, along with other wireless controllers too. It does this by turning the controller on using various button combinations.
For example, pressing Start+Y turns it on in Switch mode. In this mode, it emulates a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, complete with motion controls and rumble. It's unfortunately standard rumble, not that fancy shmancy HD rumble.
Pressing Start+X will turn it on in X-Input mode. This emulates an XBox controller.
Another great thing about this controller is that you can customize it using an application called the 8bitdo Ultimate Software. It's available for Windows and Mac. You can customize every aspect of the controller, from button mapping, sensitivity of the sticks, triggers, and rumble motors, and even create macros. Unfortunately the software itself is inaccessible to screen readers.

In terms of battery life, 8bitdo claims around 16-20 hours of playtime on a single charge, and 1 to 4 hours charge time, if using the included battery pack. Optionally, you can use 2 AA batteries.In regards to pricing, you're looking at about $49.99 USD according to Amazon.

It's a really great controller. 8bitdo mainly focuses on bluetooth controllers inspired by classic Nintendo controllers. They're a great controller brand if you're looking for a great D-Pad. I use mine as my daily driver for my PC and my phone (they sell a smartphone clip that attaches to the controller separately).
If you want to wait a little longer, 8bitdo has a new controller up for pre-order, simply called the 8bitdo Pro 2.
That one has two extra back buttons, a physical switch so you can switch between S Mode (Switch), A Mode (Mac/Apple Mode), D Mode (DirectInput), and X Mode (XInput).
It also has a button in between the analog sticks so you can switch between three different custom configuration profiles that you can customize within the 8bitdo Ultimate Software.
Otherwise, it's the same as the SN30 Pro+, price and everything.

doesn't seem to be in norway sadly.

It's a really great controller, and one of 8bitdo's finest.
Here are a few tips for both Pro+ and Pro 2, because I'll admit, there's more to it that's not really that obvious when you first start using it. While there is a PDF version of the manual on 8bitdo's support page, I'm not sure if it's accessible or not, but here are some tips for both controllers regardless.

Turning the controller on + usage tips

To turn the controller on, you just simply press and hold START for 1 second, and to turn it off, you press and hold START for three seconds. By default when you first take the controller out of the box, it's set to Nintendo Switch mode. If you want to turn it on in either X-Input mode, DirectInput mode for Android, macOS mode, or back to Switch mode, you'd turn it on with the following button combinations:

• START+Y: Nintendo Switch mode. In this mode, it emulates a Switch Pro controller, complete with motion controls and rumble, but lacks NFC functionality for Amiibos. It also can't wake up the Switch.

• START+X: X-Input mode: Emulates an XBox controller.

• START+A: Mac mode. Interestingly from what I've heard, the Mac sees it as a DualShock 4 controller.

• START+B: Android mode.

The next time you power on the controller, it'll remember what mode you last had it in. For example, if you last used Switch mode before powering it off, it'll be in Switch mode the next time you power it on.
The Pro 2 doesn't use those button combinations, instead there is a physical switch on the back of the controller with four positions; S for Switch, A for Apple, D for DirectInput, and X for X-Input.
Both controllers will emit a short vibration when they're connected via Bluetooth. When they're not in use for about 15 minutes or so, they'll power themselves off to save battery power.

Turbo mode

The controllers do have a Turbo function. To activate it, there's a Star button under the D-Pad. While you have the Star button held, press the button you would like to activate turbo on, then let go of the Star button. Essentially, when Turbo is activated for a button, it's like you're rapidly pressing the button over and over again. To turn Turbo off for the button, you'd do the same steps that you did to activate Turbo mode on that button.

The SNES definitely had four face buttons. A, B, X, and Y, as well as two shoulder buttons (L, and R).

The original nes controller had two face buttons and no shoulder buttons. The snes had four face buttons and two shoulder buttons..

thanks, will probobly get one soon.

@Gamulation I haven't used the software with a screen reader since I first tried it out of curiosity. The last time I did with object nav, I haven't had much in the way of luck.
While NVDA's OCR can navigate with it, most of the slider controls (which are used to adjust stick, trigger, and rumble sensitivity) are not detected.
So, if you want to use it, unless you have some usable vision, the Ultimate Software is a no go.
There is a mobile app for the Ultimate Software, but that's only for the newer Pro 2 at this time. Because of the fact I don't have a Pro 2, I can't test it.
8bitdo does have a Firmware Upgrade tool as well, but I haven't tested that with a screen reader much either.
