I've been playing games with it this morning and it works great.
Are you using it wireless or plugged in? My 360 wireless PC thingy broke.

If your PC has Bluetooth you can use your DS4 if you want wireless! I've been using mine for months now (via USB) although it's not quite native as you need to run another program, ScpServer, however that does allow you to do things like change the light bar color, set the rumble etc so it's more than just basic functionality.

Nice to see MS catching up for people who prefer a substandard controller though.

Sounds like they aren't catching up but passing Sony as it's native, not requiring ScpServer.

Microsoft has been doing great things with the Xbox One lately.

I'll try this out tonight. I wanted to try a controller out on World of Warplanes. I bought a Logitech 3d Extreme (or Pro or something) joystick but it's too hard to fly planes as they're meant to be flown. Need something easier!

Not wireless. You need to use a standard Micro USB cable to connect. It will receive power as well pass data through the cable.

That cable is the only useful thing my Nexus 7 provided me.
