I keep looking at the guys on PlayStation using this thing and I REALLY want one for my PC! 
Can the DS4 (PlayStation 4 controller) be used on PC? Anyone playing Elite with one?
Does the Touchpad (+Buttons) work? I tried it last year and it didn't. Partially also because a Win10 update broke the unofficial DS4 drivers back then.

For Honor worked out of the box without any drivers. For wireless you need bluetooth.
But here is the unofficial stuff i know about: http://ds4windows.com

Cheers.
Yes you can.
Sony sell an official adapter: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PlayS...eywords=sony+dualshock+4+usb+wireless+adaptor
You also have free options of DS4Windows and Steam. These connect through USB or any generic Bluetooth connector.
I can't speak for the Sony adaptor or DS4Windows. I have used the Steam configuration: it offers tremendous customisation and configurability but does require you to launch ED through Steam.
Personally I prefer to use the Steam Controller for the grip buttons and superior gyro performance.

I don't even have a PS4, but I use the controller for Elite.
With Windows 10 it will work out of the box with just minor messing around in the game controller section of Windows control panel - with the exception of the touchpad.
To get that working I had to use DS4.
It was worth doing as I now use the touchpad for headlock.
Be warned though that if you switch between Windows driver and DS4 you will have to remap your keys.
I love it, wouldn't use anything else now.

DS4Windows is no longer maintained, InputMapper has a better chance of bringing fixes in case Windows changes its mind about its driver model.

How long have you had it? I like the idea of it but a fair few people seem to report poor quality. Whether that is down to genuine poor quality or people not knowing how to look after hardware, I don't know.
I'm using a PS4 controller, running inputmapper (link is in a post above somewhere). It works well enough, but I'd suggest getting a headtracker/VR* and rudder pedals as well. It made a huuuuge difference for me.
*Headtracker is better for me because I still need to see my keyboard. YMMV
