虽然大多数铁杆游戏玩家会偏爱 PC 或游戏机来玩游戏，但不要忘记最近的Android和 iOS 设备也拥有超级游戏功能。最近有很多仅限 PC(PC-only)和游戏机的游戏进入Google Play Store 和 Apple App Store(Google Play Store and Apple App Store)是有原因的。
如果您喜欢在游戏机和手机上玩游戏，您会很高兴知道您的PS4 控制器(PS4 controller)现在可用于在您的移动设备上玩游戏。这使得在您的手机上玩您最喜欢的游戏变得更加容易，因为您不必学习新的控制布局，并且您可以使用控制器的默认布局(default layout)。
由于PS4 控制器(PS4 controller)使用蓝牙(Bluetooth)连接到PS4 控制台(PS4 console)，您可以使用此无线功能(wireless functionality)（蓝牙(Bluetooth)）将控制器连接到移动设备。以下指南涵盖了从连接控制器到重新映射游戏控件到最终断开控制器并将其连接回控制台的所有内容。
在Android 设备(Android Device)上使用PS4 控制器(PS4 Controller)
将PS4 控制器(PS4 controller)与Android 设备(Android device)配对非常容易。您只需按下控制器上的两个按钮，在您的Android 设备(Android device)上启用一个选项，然后您就可以使用PS4 控制器玩您的(PS4 controller)Android
游戏了。
它不仅可以让您玩游戏，还可以
使用控制器在Android 界面中导航。(Android interface)但是，控制按钮并不总是按您想要的方式工作，但您也可以解决这个问题。
让我们首先看看如何将两个设备相互连接：
- 从控制台上拔下PS4 控制器。(PS4 controller)然后同时按住Share和PS按钮几秒钟。当您的控制器开始闪烁白色时松开按钮。
- 您的控制器现在已准备好与您的设备配对。
- 在基于Android的设备上，启动设置(Settings)应用程序并点击蓝牙和设备连接(Bluetooth & device connection)。点击顶部的配对新设备(Pair new device)开始寻找您的无线控制器(wireless controller)。
- 让您的设备扫描您的PS4 控制器(PS4 controller)。当控制器出现在设备列表中(device list)时，点击它进行连接。
- 控制器上的白灯将停止闪烁，这表明您的Android 设备(Android device)已与控制器成功配对。
您可以按控制器上的导航按钮来浏览您的Android 设备(Android device)上的选项。我玩了一段时间来访问设置应用程序(Settings app)中的各种选项，它就像一个魅力。
将PS4 控制器(PS4 Controller)连接到 iPhone/iPad
将PS4 控制器(PS4 controller)与iPhone 或 iPad(iPhone or iPad)配对就像在
Android 设备(Android device)上一样简单。但是，您的 iOS 设备必须满足一项要求。
您的iPhone 和 iPad(iPhone and iPad)必须运行最新的iOS 13，您的设备才能连接到PS4 控制器(PS4 controller)。如果您不运行此版本的 iOS，是时候进入Settings > General > Software Update并将设备更新到可用的最新版本。
iOS 版本更新后，您就可以将设备与PS4 控制器(PS4 controller)配对了。同时按住Share和PS按钮，您的控制器将开始闪烁。前往设备上的Settings > Bluetooth然后点击(device and tap)控制器进行连接。
连接后，控制器上的指示灯将停止闪烁。您现在可以使用PS4 控制器在(PS4 controller)iOS 设备(iOS device)上玩游戏和导航了。
解决控制器(Controller)的滞后问题(Lag Issues)
有时，您的Android 设备(Android device)和控制器之间的连接可能会中断。如果它发生得太频繁并造成太多不便，您可以通过在设备上安装应用程序来解决问题。
Google Play 商店(Google Play Store)中有一个名为Bluetooth Auto Connect的应用程序，可让您修复设备上许多与蓝牙相关的问题。它有一个名为Continuous Connect的选项，可确保您的设备始终连接到控制器（或任何其他蓝牙设备(Bluetooth device)）。
以下是如何使用该应用程序使您的两台设备保持相互连接：
- 当您的设备连接到PS4 控制器(PS4 controller)时，在您的设备上启动蓝牙自动连接(Bluetooth Auto Connect )应用程序。
- 点击高级选项(Advanced Options)，然后点击连续连接（秒）(Continuous Connect (Sec))。输入 2 到 10 之间的任意数字，然后点击OK。
该应用程序将确保您的设备始终保持连接。如果当前的数字不适合您，您可以更改选项中的数字。
重新映射游戏控件(Game Controls)以使用PS4 控制器(PS4 Controller)
如果您已经开始在Android 设备(Android device)上使用PS4 控制器(PS4 controller)玩游戏，您会注意到某些游戏控制(game control)
选项并未真正针对您的外部控制器进行优化。这是因为许多游戏还没有外部控制器支持。
但是，您可以使用应用程序更改它。输入Octopus，这是一个按键重新映射应用程序(remapper app)，可让您更改哪个按键在您的设备上执行什么操作。使用此应用程序，您可以自定义游戏控件(customize your game controls)，使其适合您的PS4 控制器(PS4 controller)的控件。
只需在您的设备上下载并安装应用程序，将您的游戏添加到列表中，然后开始自定义控件。
断开控制器(Controller)与您的设备的连接
当您使用PS4 控制器(PS4 controller)在您的设备上玩完游戏后，您可能需要断开控制器并将其与您的主机配对。(controller and pair)
- 在您的Android或 iOS 设备上，打开“设置”应用(Settings app)中的蓝牙选项(Bluetooth option)。然后在设备列表中(list and select)点击并按住(tap and hold)PS4 控制器，然后选择(PS4 controller)断开连接(Disconnect)，然后选择忘记(Forget)。
- 您的控制器将与您的设备断开连接，并准备好与您的控制台配对。使用USB 电缆将控制器插入控制台，然后按下(USB cable and press)PS按钮(PS)。
How To Connect a PS4 Controller To An iPhone, iPad Or Android Device
While most hardcore gamers will give preference to a PC or a gaming console to play your games, let’s not forget that the recent Android and iOS devices also boast super gaming features. There’s a reason why a lot of PC-only and gaming consoles-only games have made their way to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store lately.
If you’re someone who enjoys gaming on both consoles and your mobile phones, you’d be glad to know that your PS4 controller can now be used to play games on your mobile devices. This makes it easier to play your favorite games on your mobile as you don’t have to learn new control layouts and you can use the default layout of your controller.
Since
the PS4 controller uses Bluetooth to connect to the PS4 console, you
can use this wireless functionality (Bluetooth) to connect your
controller to your mobile devices. The following guide covers
everything from connecting the controller to remapping the game
controls to finally disconnecting the controller and connecting it
back to your console.
Use a PS4 Controller With An Android Device
Pairing
a PS4 controller with an Android device is extremely easy. All it
requires you to do is press two buttons on your controller, enable an
option on your Android device, and you are ready to play your Android
games using your PS4 controller.
Not
only does it let you play games but you can also navigate around your
Android interface using the controller. The control buttons, though,
will not always work the way you want but you have a fix for that as
well.
Let’s
first check out how to connect both the devices to each other:
- Unplug your PS4 controller from your console. Then press and hold down the Share and PS buttons together for a few seconds. Let go of the buttons when your controller starts to blink white.
- Your controller is now ready to be paired with your device.
- On your Android based device, launch the Settings app and tap on Bluetooth & device connection. Tap on Pair new device at the top to start looking for your wireless controller.
- Allow your device to scan for your PS4 controller. When the controller appears in the device list, tap on it to connect to it.
- The white light will stop blinking on your controller which indicates your Android device has been successfully paired with the controller.
You can press the navigation buttons on the controller to navigate around the options on your Android device. I played with it for some time to access various options in the Settings app and it worked like a charm.
Connect a PS4 Controller To An iPhone/iPad
Pairing
a PS4 controller with an iPhone or iPad is as easy as doing so on an
Android device. However, there’s one requirement that your iOS
device must meet.
Your iPhone and iPad must be running the latest iOS 13 for your device to be able to connect to the PS4 controller. If you don’t run this version of the iOS, it’s time you head into Settings > General > Software Update and get the device updated to the latest version available.
Once the iOS version is updated, you’re ready to pair your device with the PS4 controller. Press and hold down the Share and PS buttons together and your controller will start blinking. Head to Settings > Bluetooth on your device and tap on the controller to connect to it.
Soon
as you’re connected, the light on the controller will stop
blinking. You’re now ready to play games and navigate around on
your iOS device using your PS4 controller.
Troubleshoot The Lag Issues With The Controller
Sometimes
the connection between your Android device and your controller may
get interrupted. If it happens too often and causes too much
inconvenience, you can fix the issue by installing an app on your
device.
There’s an app called Bluetooth Auto Connect on the Google Play Store that allows you to fix many Bluetooth-related issues on your device. It has an option called Continuous Connect that ensures your device is always connected to the controller (or any other Bluetooth device for that matter).
Here’s
how to use the app to keep both of your devices connected to each
other:
- Launch the Bluetooth Auto Connect app on your device while your device is connected to the PS4 controller.
- Tap on Advanced Options followed by Continuous Connect (Sec). Type in any number between two and ten and hit OK.
The app will ensure your devices remain connected all the time. You may though change the numbers in the option if the current one doesn’t work for you.
Remap The Game Controls To Work With The PS4 Controller
If
you’ve already started playing games using the PS4 controller on
your Android device, you’d notice that some of the game control
options aren’t really optimized for your external controller. This
is because many of the games haven’t got the external controller
support, yet.
However, you can change that with an app. Enter Octopus, a key remapper app that lets you change which key does what on your device. Using this app, you can customize your game controls in such a way that they fit with the controls of your PS4 controller.
Simply
download and install the app on your device, add your game to the
list, and start customizing the controls.
Disconnect The Controller From Your Devices
When you’ve finished playing games on your devices with the PS4 controller, you might want to disconnect the controller and pair it back to your console.
- On your Android or iOS device, open the Bluetooth option in the Settings app. Then tap and hold on the PS4 controller in the devices list and select Disconnect followed by Forget.
- Your controller will disconnect from your devices and will be ready to pair with your console. Plug in the controller to the console using a USB cable and press the PS button.
