Want to use this profile since it is only mod I found that uses all of PS4 buttons but Skyrim will not pick up on the xpadder...
I do have DS4 Windows program installed and though that isn't working either.
+++UPDATE+++ okay figured it out and it was me not realizing that this very important tidbit must be followed. Using Windows 10 but I realized I had to run the program as Administrator. This made it finally work correctly. Thanks for the updated Profile
I don't own a Dual Shock, but I do use Xpadder for my 360 controller for the extra functionality, so I am going to download and endorse, to applaud your effort and support the modding community.
on windows 7 you can use duelshock 4 on it and in fact on windows 7 because you can have the xbox 360 drivers you can trick the computer into thinking the duelshock 4 is a xbox controller using a program called DS4 to PC
heres a whole article on it. http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/176263-how-to-use-a-dualshock-4-to-play-pc-games
i use a logitech f710 and it allows me to program my own keys. I would be interest in trying the playstation 4 controller since my son has one. I take it with your program I would be able to program the keys?? The only problem I have had with the F710 is when i start I have to bump the sticks or they will drift.
I like Xpadder a lot, and I use it for a lot of games that don't have controller support but you don't actually need Xpadder to use a Playstation controller with Skyrim. The main problem I've always had with Xpadder is that mapping mouse movement to an analog stick makes camera movement REALLY slow and you can't always fix it by adjusting the mouse sensitivity. XInput wrapper by Scarlet crush is a great program you can use which basically just tricks your computer into thinking that your Playstation controller is a 360 controller and emulates it flawlessly. It also supports wireless play via Bluetooth and they recently added support for the PS4 controller. I don't know if it works with WIndows 8, but I have Windows 7 & I use my PS3 controller to play Skyrim without Xpadder.
EDIT: You need something like this to use a PS controller with Xpadder anyway if you're not using Windows 8 and it's much more stable than MotionInJoy.
I use XPadder for playing too, but I've mapped much more keys thanks to the modifier feature. See those numbers below the joystick picture? Each one represents a full controller. If you set one of the buttons in first "page" as "Selects Set X" (where X is the number of a different "page" ) you can add more keys for convenience.
In game, you press and hold this modifier key and then press the mapped button of a different page. Just like the SHIFT key.
In my case I used this to map hotkeys for Steam Screenshots, Wearable Lanterns, and less important keys like Favorite/Unfavorite, Weapon Recharge, Quick Menu, Quicksave/Quickload and etc.
If worth the suggestion, I wouldn't set the attack buttons (mouse click) to the triggers as they're very fragile in most of dualshocks. I used them in past and now they're... "gritting".

Ok, so I'm new to xpadder... how do you use these files with the program? There's no instructions on how to use these files

It'd be great to use the touchpad as a touchpad or the movement sensitivity for more things like fine aiming and menu navigation...
