DS4 controllers don't use the xinput api, so you'll have to use a tool like DS4Windows or DS4-Tool to emulate an xbox controller.
first of all thanks for your work universallp
and now, I've got an issue. recently stop working with my keyboard and mouse. It works with my pad buy it dont show when I press any key of keybard or button of the mouse. I'd 2 keyboards more detected by windows and try to uninstall them but nothing changes ..
what shoud be the problem? what can I change to fix it?
the plugin is ok because works with the pad .. but seems that dont detect kb or mouse
thanks for all

Can you give me a full obs-studio log file? Also what version of input-overlay are you using? Do you use an American keyboard layout or a foreign one?
I can told you something better .. I dont know why but .. now it works .. why? idk .. but works .. thanks for your answer and I was using the last stable release .. 4.7.4b?
Seems the problems comes with the order I open the programs .. if I launch Restream Chat before OBS the Input Ovelay doesn't work ^_^

I don't have a dualshock 4 to test, and I as far as I know there's no direct support for DS4 controllers on windows, since Microsoft wants you to use xbox controllers.

There is kinda direct support to DS4 gamepad. It doesn't show up as DS4 gamepad, but as Wireless Controller, but many games have literally DS4 icons and DS4 support integrated in them. And also, what's a full(with numpad) version of keyboard preset? It would be really awesome, because I use numpad keys as my punches in fighting games. Thanks for such quick answer!

There's no numpad preset right now, but you could make your own. As for the DS4 support I can't add it if I have no way to test it and I don't intend on buying a controller, that I don't really need, with my own money.

To add DS4 support you only need to add DirectInput support, basically. And theoretically, I can create numpad included preset, but practically im not really good at coding, so I can only wait untill somebody will make it, lul.

DirectInput is deprecated and is succeeded by Xinput, which is exactly what input-overlay uses to query gamepad input. I found some projects that add support for DS4 and frankly none of them seemed as simple as that, if it were I'd have already done it.

There's also a tool called "demo_hook_async.exe", which is inside the release zip archive under the "util" folder, which can help you find the keycode for any keys you press:

Yeah, I know that DirectInput is older than Xinput, but any non-xbox gamepad or controller uses this type of input. Also, there is a thing in Steam that lets you use user settings for and PS USB gamepad, and it emulates Xinput if it's enabled. But for some reason, Input Overlay still doesn't see gamepad :^(

As I said I don't have a dualshock 4 controller, so I'm not going to add support for a deprecated API especially if I can't test it.

Well, we both know that testing this is not a big problem. There was at least 2 people who asked for DS4 support, and I don't think that they would decline to help you to test this. And other thing is Microsoft still uses this API for ANY other non-XBOX gamepads on Windows. So calling it deprecated is kinda untrue. The other thing, is that you just don't wanna do that. Thats fine, I'll find another software to use.

Ok, so I've decided to create a numlock+ version of preset, but when I tried to do double height keys, such as + and Enter, I got in to a problem. It seems that for some reason, when I try to make them, it brokes the last key before it, and it breaks the texture on + and Enter. I'll attach preset, so you maybe can test it, and explain what is wrong. Thanks.
