This is great news, as an owner of a DS4. Currently, without using ds4drv, I get no X axis to the DS4 touchpad. On top of that, the Y axis is also mapped to the left joystick's X axis. This is annoying, because ds4drv only works for me if I'm connected through wire (it fails to connect through bluetooth and I can't figure out why). The controller seems to be overall recognized as something different when I plug it in through USB.
