I installed the driver and then ran the Windows 7 Bluetooth pairing thing and it paired up. Tested it in CEMU and it worked fine.

Super expensive.
I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005Z5HT2M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 on my laptop & http://www.amazon.com/Medialink-USB-Bluetooth-Adapter-Technology/dp/B004LNXO28/ref=pd_cp_pc_2 on my Desktop pretty much plug in play om both
(Works great on Windows & Linux)
Also you will wanna grab this http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-DS4-To-XInput-Wrapper (Windows Only) or https://github.com/chrippa/ds4drv (Linux only) , gives you more control over the controller and enables the touchpad
I was coming here to ask the same question. I'm hoping something as simple and cheap as this but would it be necessary to get the 4.0 version instead?
Flagrama is right, but what kind of computer do you have? If it's a laptop, it probably has bluetooth built in already. If not, bt adapters like this one are under $10. You can also buy this handy thing that will make the pairing process easy and treat the Pro Controller like a 360 controller, so you can instantly use it to play tons of PC games (hundreds of Steam games, for example).
Cheap "Blootooth" USB dongle
They make wireless trackpads now. With a bluetooth dongle you can connect it to your PC. You'll need to set up the drivers on this page, though.
This doesn't really answer your question, but I bought this

To use Wii Motes on the dolphin emulator (Gamecube/Wii emulator). It works really well and was a simple plug and play for me.
According to this review, it works fine with PS3 controllers.

This was a great purchase for connecting my Wii and PlayStation 3 Dualshock controllers. I used Touchmote drivers for my Wii remote to use as a gyro mouse and it connected easily. Using the remote for 3 hours had no problems with the connection dropping.
I used the Xinput DS3 Wrapper for my Dualshock and played from a distance of about 15 ft."
There are these from intel that combines the two. Alernatively you could get the bluetooth, and wifi adapters seperately.

For a Bluetooth dongle, try this dongle from Knivio ($8) -- it rates highly on Amazon.
Apparently the ASUS Chromebox doesn't have integrated Bluetooth. Looking at the manual pg 17 it shows that in order to use a wireless keyboard/mouse you need a USB Bluetooth dongle. Which surprises me frankly. I don't have one of these but I'd think Bluetooth would be integrated in the box, or at least include the dongle. Maybe someone who owns a Chromebox can chime in here.If BT is not integrated or included in the package you're going to need to get a cheapo USB Bluetooth dongle like this one.Edit: Bluetooth is indeed integrated, but it must be enabled for devices to be paired. To to that, you'll temporarily need a wired USB keyboard/mouse. Thx akhalilx
I actually just bought [this] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005Z5HT2M/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) two weeks ago and it's doing fine. Cheap and easy, works well with the Motioninjoy drivers.
How can I connect my Apple bluetooth keyboard to my PC running Windows 8? I have [This bluetooth adapter] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005Z5HT2M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and the drivers were installed automatically when I plugged it in. When I go to add a bluetooth device it cannot find my keyboard. It has 100% battery and connects to my mac just fine. I made sure my macs bluetooth was turned off as well. Any suggestions?
Try this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005Z5HT2M/
If you can't find one, you can always go this route:

Ok, so, I took a look at one that seemed good.
This one is well within my price range and has glowing reviews:

Look good?
Cool thing about the dual-shock as opposed to the 360 wireless controller is that they can be connected via bluetooth (if your mobo has it, if not this can be really cheap). Or just use the cable, either way these are fun controllers.
Step 1: Download and install Motionjoy Drivers.
Step 2: Download and install Better DS3.
Step 3: Setup your Better DS3 profile (I used the Xbox 360 setup).
Step 4 (Bluetooth and therefore optional): Connect your controller via bluetooth. Buy something like this Bluetooth 3.0 adapter. I believe the dongle needs to be at least Bluetooth 2.0 to connect the DS3.
