Contact Sony tech support and/or post in their forums & ask the Mac users there.

YES! i do it regularly.

How To connect DS4 wirelessly to Mac:

Click the apple logo at the very top left of your screen > System Preferences

Open Bluetooth

On the DS4 controller, press and hold the PS button and the share button at the same time, the light will start flashing and you can release. Not working? turn off the PS4 so it's not trying to connect.

On the Mac, with the Bluetooth window open, you'll see "wireless controller" click the pair button.

All set! i will work fine


PS: so there is an issue if you use the paired controller on the PS4 later. Basically, it seems impossible to re-connect via bluetooth after you connected back to PS4. Its an age old BT issue, that exists on PC too.


TO FIX: open Finder and on the top Go > Computer. Open (what should be) Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > and delete com.apple.Bluetooth.plist (you wont lose your KB / Mouse desktop users)

Reboot the Mac

Now you can re-connect the DS4 usage the above.

Yes, you can connect your iMac 5K to the PS4 via a video capture card.


Check the below link:

You can then connect via the HDMI (PS4 to Capture card) & USB 3.0 cable from Capture device to iMac. Download the lastest firmware / software for Mac from the manufactures website and boom! you're good to go!

I just did this and it works like a charm! No lag or play issues.

Enjoy!
