One thing to note, as has been mentioned by others, this dongle does nothing to improve the native compatibility of the DS4 controller with a PC; you will still need to use some third party software to get full use of your DS4 on your PC (unless you are just intending to use the DS4 for the PlayStation PC apps). It's kind of pointless as most laptops already have Bluetooth and it's not hard to get a cheap adapter for pc. I use it with steam which conflicted with third party controller programs and even those never worked right.

Then here's some pretty good news: Sony's releasing a wireless USB adaptor for the controller in Europe and North America, starting 15th September in the Old World and "early September" in the United States.

Plug and play - Insert the adaptor into a USB port on your PC/Mac and follow a quick and easy Bluetooth pairing process to connect your DUALSHOCK4 wireless controller.
