Questions
Will this work with a third-party PS4 controller?
Usually. If the browser recognises its layout you will see PlayStation button names; otherwise you still get live readings with generic names.
My DualShock 4 connects but nothing moves.
Press a button to wake it in the page. On Bluetooth, make sure it is paired to this device and not still connected to a PS4 nearby.
Is stick drift common on the DualShock 4?
It is a common wear problem on older controllers. Test it here first: mild drift can be hidden with a dead zone, while severe drift usually needs a new stick.
