What is how to connect ps4 controller to ps4?
Here's information about connecting a PS4 controller to a PS4:
Connecting a PS4 controller (DualShock 4) to your PS4 is usually straightforward. Here's how to do it:
-
Initial Connection (Wired): The first time you connect a new controller, you'll need a micro-USB cable.
- Plug the micro-USB cable into the controller and the other end into a USB port on the PS4.
- Turn on your PS4.
- Press the PS button on the controller. This is the circular button in the center of the controller. The light bar on the controller should illuminate, and you should see a prompt on the screen.
- Follow the on-screen instructions. Once connected, the controller is paired with your PS4 and can be used wirelessly. You can then disconnect the USB cable.
-
Wireless Connection (Pairing): If you need to re-pair a controller or connect an additional one, you can use the following method:
- Turn on your PS4.
- Press and hold the PS button and the Share button (located to the left of the touchpad) simultaneously until the light bar on the controller starts flashing rapidly. This puts the controller into pairing mode.
- On your PS4, go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth Devices.
- Your PS4 will scan for nearby Bluetooth devices. The DualShock 4 controller should appear in the list. Select it.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the pairing process.

Troubleshooting:
- If the controller isn't connecting, try using a different micro-USB cable. Some cables are only for charging and don't transmit data.
- Make sure the controller has enough battery life.
- Try resetting the controller. There's a small reset button on the back of the controller, near the L2 button. Use a small, pointed object (like a paperclip) to press and hold the reset button for a few seconds. Then, try the pairing process again.
