On November 1, 2016, in a Steam Client Beta patch, Valve announced the addition of Steam Configurator support for the PS4's DualShock 4 Controller (beta) on PC.This went live a little over a month later on December 14 of the same year, as confirmed by a new Steam Client Update announcement. However, this particular model, the Xbox ONE to PS4 Controller Adapter, lets you use Xbox One controllers on your Ps4. It's also super simple to use, plug and play in fact. Previous converters required you to have a Ps4 pad connected to 'trick' the ps4 into authenticating the Xbox controller. This converter does not have that problem.

Troubleshooting
Play Xbox Controller On Ps4
If you run into issues with DS4Windows, your first port of call should be to access the settings tab and check the Hide DS4 box. This is necessary when a game already supports the controller, making DS4Windows superfluous. Which is when you might run into problems.
The second file you extracted from the DS4Windows download will also come in handy if you run into issues. DS4Update is responsible for keeping DS4Windows up to date, so be sure to run it at intervals to make sure you have the latest version, and if you experience any hiccups.

Unfortunately, that connection doesn't mean you can use the Xbox One S controller to interact with the PS4 in any way. I couldn't get any input to register on the PS4 with my Xbox controller despite the system showing it connected as a gamepad.
