There's a program called DS4 for windows. First you need to download & install the MS 360 driver:
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-au/d/xbox-360-controller-for-windows
Then download and install DS4Win
Should then be plug and play.
DS4 is great with BF4 PC, as you can use the touch pad as a clickable mouse for the menus.
Hope that helps.
Some tipps for more SSD space:

~~Your welcome!~~
Edit: I'm hearing that the playtest is probably delayed because the latest CTE build failed.
Go to control panel, programs and features uninstall web plugin if showing. Go to C:\Program Files (x86) see if there is a web plugin folder delete it. Start battlelog you should get a prompt to download plugin. If you have ccleaner installed do a clean up and registry clean then start battlelog.If no luck with that hears a link to cte battlelog http://www.filedropper.com/battlelog-web-plugins271162
I got it through >>>>> Origin <<<<(GET THIS FIRST) , you need to install Origin then you can open the application and get BF4 Premium edition for $25 as of 4/6/15. Go to http://cte.battlelog.com/bf4/ Because you have premium on PS4 you have access to BF4 CTE on PC already. If you want you can try it on PC before you buy the whole game for PC this way. Anyway what you need to do is click Sign Up and click I agree untill it asks for your Origin account. If you already have an Origin account just sign in. Otherwise Download Origin and Create an account. (Later You can link your PS4 account to your Origin account for easy viewing of your PS4 stats) Anyway once you have your Account made finish signing up on the CTE website. Then go into the Origin Application and make sure you are signed in and go to My Games. You should have the CTE ready to download. After playing PC CTE for a while you can go to the Origin Store and Buy BF4 Premium Edition and play all you want. If you have any questions please ask. It is 3 in the morning here so I may have fucked up a step here or there lol. anyway welcome to the "Glorious PC Master Race" any questions?
You might not believe me, but if you upgraded to Windows 8.1 I'm very, very sure you would see a noticeable difference. I did, and its the only reason I'm still on 8.1
Out of all the games I play, for whatever messed up reason, BF4 has the weirdest most obscure performance issues, drives me up the wall sometimes. I'm on Nvidia drivers from April because anything newer then that gives me CPU stutter something crazy. I think since Dragons Teeth something went a little wonky and its been slightly wonky ever since. I also remember reading sometime earlier that there are some performance issues on Infiltration of Shanghai because of the new light sources or something like that, and it'll be fixed.
Incase you haven't, I would check out Display Driver Uninstaller(link at the bottom) and run that in safemode, and then do a reinstall of your drivers. Also, make sure that Origin in-game crap is turned off.
Deactivate ABE in the advanced NoScript options
OR
add there under System "Accept from LOCAL and *.battlelog.com"

@ /u/Sk0t0r: I hope you can find a work around for this, since a lot of people use NoScript . Here is the ABE site: https://noscript.net/abe/
Dunno if some OBS settings/explanations will help you. I take it that u are using OBS on PC?

I see that some people are confused by the difference in size of installation folders.
I bet this has something to do with the Origin "__Installer" directory. My folder has a total of: 56.4G
Here you can see my directory (taken with windirstat): http://imgur.com/EMDHNiz (I have all DLC's. English language).
Edit: And you can actually move the singleplayer data on to another drive to save some space for your SSD using Symbolic Links. Edit again: But I do not know which files that would be.

Je comprends oui :) Mais mon francais n'est pas tres bon donc je parle englais.
What you could do is to download windows 8.1 and install it with a temporarly key. (c'est legal). https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj612867.aspx
Here is a more detailed guide : http://www.howtogeek.com/187525/how-to-perform-a-clean-install-of-windows-8.1-with-a-windows-8-key/
What you could do is install this on a partition just for testing purposes. Install BF on it (you can copy it from your other partition so you don't need to download it). And give it a go from windows 8.1
If this resolves your issue, you might wanna update to 8.1.
Just an idea :)
Hope you understand.
Bonne chance
For anyone else with Nvidia, i found a useful User.cfg which has upped my FPS a lot!
If you dont know, the User.cfg file needs to be in the BF4 directory folder with the BF4.exe and when you run the game, it goes through the user.cfg first then starts up. It doesnt change keys, etc... just video settings!
If link is broken or you cant work it, reply here. :)
On my GTX970 i was getting crap FPS too, i surfed around for a User.cfg to combat this. Found one... put this in your BF4 folder with the BF4.exe and thats it. Run the game, it uses the .CFG first, then starts up.
at last version (yesterday night) was so , that we was three peole on server, if fourth joined so game was started and the ground texture was missing. After reconnect everything was normally. But if its happen so you have X-Ray to underground-level.

I know these problems, I had them as well, this fixed it for me:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Network-Tools/Misc-Networking-Tools/Smart-Port-Forwarding.shtml
Download it, unzip, extract and run it.
When you are in the program, Right mouseclick > add new forwarding port
Open or add the ports in Fiiyasko's post in that program, both UDP and TCP, restart, then make sure you always run that program when you are going to play BF4.
I hope this fixes it for you.
But the real question is, will you revamp the UI so that we can have a proper command system for the squad leader and commander? Will there be improvements to VoIP. Honestly, the guys from project reality who are making squad are currently making a game of significantly better quality than BF4, and they have a fraction the team/budget. They have a proper command structure, proximity voice/radios, weapon ballistics, and will probably have amazing vehicle physics.
Hi, I wasn't able to replicate the bug however I found another bug in Defuse. This happened before the round started and I was just changing my loadout. https://gyazo.com/61b71b154ed0bd6b96141a2e0818c06f
Interesting, you use JIRA...that's neat.
Doesn't it have an output function that could be set to private/public that could dump bugs into their 'category' and indicate their status?
Maybe just show this bug tracker on CTE reddit?
try to open this link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ea.bf3bl.bv on pc using vpn(try hola vpn on google chrome i use it to access hulu in India) then press the install button you will be able to install it if that didn't work let me know i can provide the link to download .apk file to install
