PS4 Controller on PC - how to show ps4 buttons?

I keep reading that Witcher 3 supports both console controllers on PC, yet when using PS4 DualShock controller (via InputMapper) it still shows Xbox controls during dialog and tutorials. Does anyone know of a way to manually change the button labels used in-game for the controller buttons?

In other words, instead of seeing "Press A/B/X/Y" I would like to have the game say "Press X/Circle/Square/Triangle.

To be honest, if they didn't both have an X on them I'd be fine, but "Press X" gets me every time as it actually means I need to press Square, not X. I know, I'm a dummy, but if anyone can help would be much appreciated.

AFAIK no games on PC actually have PS button prompts without mods. It really sucks given that the PS4 controller is pretty much the best gamepad on the market.

That's subjective

I've gotten so used to the mapping I know my PS4 controller better by the letters then the symbols!

Yep, I'm having the same issue as are many others. One of the devs responded directly to this question on twitter before the game was out. https://twitter.com/witchergame/statuses/477427552374382592

It seems this person was mistaken or it is bugged.

The game does support the ps4 controller. It just don't show you the ps4 buttons like the other pc games that support dualshocks natively.

Not sure that is what you would call "support" so much as "it works, kind of..." - just saying.

Ah well, the game is amazing and I'm loving it regardless. I put an old xbox controller on the desk in front of me to remind me which keys are where, and I'm sure someone will create a mod to fix it at some point.
