Connecting your PS4 controller to your PC using Bluetooth is a great way to keep playing wirelessly and without any lag. Here's what you need to do:

Switch on your PS4 controller by pressing the PlayStation button on its center.
On your PC, make sure your Bluetooth is "On" and visible to other devices.
Press and hold the PS4 Share + PS buttons together for around 3 seconds; the lightbar on your controller will start to blink rapidly.
On your PC, search for Bluetooth devices. It should find the PS4 controller; select it and pair it.

That's it! Your PS4 controller should now be connected to your PC via Bluetooth. Enjoy playing wirelessly and without any lag.
