Dualshock 4 on Left 4 Dead 2?

[ComradeNico]

I am really a console gamer but I have two friends who play on PC and pushed me into getting a Steam account, therefore I created one and took advantage of the Left 4 Dead 2 gift. I got the game running but I do not have a mouse and even if I did, I would not be able to play with it so I decided to try to play using my Dualshock 4 by hooking it up with the USB and while is seemed to work on the menu, once I began playing, my character would just spin in place. I tried setting up my own layout but that did not help either. Does anyone know if there will be a way to get a Dualshock 4 working for Left 4 Dead 2 in the future?

[Don´t waste my time, noob!]

I am speechless! Really!

You comment was really uncalled for... There is absolutely no need to offend someone just because that person doesn't game in the same platform as you. Rude and totally unnecessary.

Having said that, I will have to agree that playing L4D2 (or any FPS really) with a mouse and a keyboard is way better than with a controller.

Okay, how about this, I was born and raised in Argentina in my great grandmother's household because my father could not maintain the family and my mother could not find a job. The only thing I had to amuse myself was a Nintendo and a Sega Genesis that belonged to my uncle.
When I was seven and living in the United States, the only thing I had with me was an old and used playstation, my father and my mother were both working so whenever I had to stay home alone all I had was my PlayStation. When I was around nine, they got my a PlayStation 2 and once again, it was the only thing I had as far as gaming and entertainment. When I turned twelve we finally got internet and a computer for the first time but I was not allowed to use it for gaming despite the fact that I wanted to do so. Then I procedeed to get a PlayStation 3 and have been playing it since my freshman year in high school, console gaming is all I ever had and known as far as gaming. I went over to my friend's place recently to because he wanted to show me Battlefield 4 on PC, I have it on PlayStation 4 which I just got, and playing with the keyboard and the mouse did not work for me, it is even harder to try to play on my computer because it is simply and old notebook with a touchpad that was a hand me down from my mother, I just wanted to see if I could connect a DualShock 4, I did not mean to trigger this reaction.
For those who actually offered help or understanding, thank you and happy holidays, to those who for some reason feel a bit ticked off, well, happy holidays to you too?

cool story bro! then you are from argentina lol

you will have some work to set up the ps4 controller i don't know how to do but if you have a xbox 360 is the better option you don't need to configure anything only need the wireless receiver for pc.

I have no idea for a PS4 controller. But mouse + Keyboard you will get used too. It really won't take long.

Well I am a console gamer till recently and I will continue to stick to console for COD. It's different when you have been provided with a console your whole life. Using a mouse and keyboard is very difficult to adapt to. I can't do it. I have aiming issues, aim way past the enemy. I have moving issues. It's personal preference. If you suit M&K better than do it. If someone does better with a controller or is even just more comfortable with it. Help em. Clearly you been PC gaming for longer.

no mouse and keyboard is easier to aim than gamepad; you got it all wrong

For anyone trying to use the dualshock 4 on left for dead, the easiest way is to use ds4w (dualshock 4 for Windows) and have hide ds4 controller checked in the settings of the application. Then enable the gamepad on the in-game options menu. It will show inputs as Xbox but at least the controller can be used.
