I've done it! Hooked up my PS4 controller to my PS3 with a USB cable and played without a hitch. Just know some buttons might not work as expected.

Yes, but don't expect perfection. You may lose some functionality, but for most games, it works fine when connected with a USB cable.

Yup, you can use a PS4 controller on a PS3, but you'll need to connect it via a USB cable, and some features like the PS button won't work.

Nope, it doesn鈥檛 work wirelessly and you miss out on certain features.

Yes, with a USB cable. But if you鈥檙e expecting full functionality, you might be a bit disappointed.
