It's totally possible to use a PS4 controller. You will need either a micro USB cable or a Bluetooth adapter for it (make sure the cable will carry data and not just power). A quick Google search returned a few tutorials like this: https://www.pcgamer.com/how-to-use-a-ps ... ler-on-pc/

From your first post, it's unclear what you've tried doing to get the controller to work. Maybe if you give us some more detail, a PS4 controller user would be able to help out.

I just connect my ps4 controller via bluetooth and it works natively in mx simulator. You can also use a micro usb cable. Make sure the controller is connected before you launch mxs. Set your controls in the "customize controls" tab and then you're good to go.
