Ready to dive into the PlayStation 5 universe but your DualSense controller refuses to connect? Don't panic! Pairing your PS5 controller is usually a breeze. Here's a simple guide to get you back in the game:
**Wired Connection: The Reliable Route**
1. Grab a USB-C cable (the one that came with your PS5 is perfect).
2. Plug one end into the controller and the other into your PS5.
3. Power on your PS5. Your controller should automatically pair and you can unplug the cable once the player indicator lights up.
**Wireless Connection: When Things Go South**
1. Make sure your PS5 is powered on.
2. Locate the small reset button on the back of your DualSense controller (near the L2 button). Use a small pin or unfolded paperclip to gently press and hold it for a few seconds.
3. Connect the controller to the PS5 with a USB-C cable as described above. This should re-establish the connection.
**Still Having Trouble?**
Try restarting your PS5 and repeating the steps. If issues persist, check your controller's battery level and ensure the USB-C cable is functioning correctly. Happy gaming!
