When connected to windows, a device (the controller) provides it's VID/PID as a form of identification. DS4Windows takes this provided identification and see if it is in the supported device list.

Though only Ryochan7 or mika-n can fully confirm this, my guess is that both your doubleshock and the gyoteck VX4 uses the same VID/PID, which is not that uncommon considering fake/copycat controllers.

If this is the case, there is not much that can be done.

Does your controller works as normal? Is there some feature that is not working as it should? If everything is working as it should, then your only problem is a not accurate device name

This picture is not helpful. Do you have some hard proof that this controller can even rumble? Does it rumble on a real PS4?

As I said, send the official website page of this controller that list it's features.

Besides that, your last 4 comments could be merged into a single one. If possible, edit your posts to merge them

Looks like someone has sold you a copycat of DS4 gamepad and not the genuine one. Or for some reason your PC has screwed up HID device drivers in such a way that Windows is picking up wrong driver (veeeery unlikely scenario because the VID/PID identifier is coming from the hardware unless some fancy driver does something along the way).

Armor3 and GioTeck gamepads are just different brands for the almost the same gamepad. Both of those are probably manufactured by the same copycat factory because those have the same VID vendorID code. HID/VID 7545/1122=Giotek VX4 HID/VID 7545/0104=Armor3LUCobra

Why the gamepad would sometimes send a different VID/PID code? Probably the hardware is the same under different OEM brands, but the firmware within the gamepad has some logic to choose which VID/PID it uses at runtime. There is nothing DS4Windows app can do about it if you have a copycat fake hardware.

Anyway, DS4Windows app uses purely the VID/PID identifier from the hardware to detect the type of the gamepad (the name shown on the logfile and DS4Windows GUI). Nothing else, nothing more so VID/PID is the key here

And based on the pictures of the gamepad it is clear it is a copycat and not the genuine DS4 gamepad. Button images are different than in real DS4 and the pad is missing the PS logo from start button.
