# GCDualShockGamepad

A controller profile that supports the DualShock 4 controller.

## Declaration

```swift
class GCDualShockGamepad
```

## Overview

Overview The DualShock 4 controller profile is similar to an extended gamepad (GCExtendedGamepad), but has a touchpad with a button and two-finger tracking.

This profile also supports motion — that is, the controller’s motion property is non-nil. If you hold the controller in front of you, the direction of the axes are: The positive x-axis points to your right. The positive y-axis points up. The positive z-axis starts at the touchpad and points to you.
