Don't bother with cables. Just hold the PS and Share buttons on your controller until the light starts flashing to pair it via Bluetooth. Steam pretty much handles the rest.

Steam supports PS4 controllers directly, so just plug and play. If you're running into issues, make sure Steam is up to date or consider using a third-party app like DS4Windows for more customization options.
