Ps4 – way to use the Dualshock 4 on a PC (ubuntu) with it not being picked up by the PS4

controllersps4Ubuntu

I am trying to use a Dualshock 4 on my PC (Ubuntu 14.10) with Steam via USB. My problem is that whenever I long press the PS button my PS4 gets turned on (it's within range of the bluetooth).

How can I make sure the controller is assigned to the PC / USB and not have it interfere with the PS4.

I know I can refrain from long pressing the button, but was still wondering how to best circumvent this problem.

You will have to change which device the Bluetooth module in the controller is paired to each time.

Input devices like controllers are typically designed to pair one-to-one with only one other device at a time. It would be very unusual for the controller's USB and Bluetooth systems to work together to control the wireless pairing.
