[SyIzumakai]

Omg thank you so much. I was getting worried when I couldn’t pair this generic controller and had no Instructions for it!

[devonvili]

Man I didn't know that you'd have to hold both the playstation logo and share for 5 seconds. No wonder why it wasn't showing up in paring mode. Thank you so much.

Thanks a bunch. I didn’t realize I had to use a certain kind of USB cable. If you’re also having trouble try switching to a Sony or Samsung brand usb cable.

I didn’t know you had to hit pair mode again. In the past i just plugged in a cable and it worked i never realized this was the issue

[brineherotg]

Bought a used playstation the other day and the controller didn’t work, then I ordered another controller and that one didn’t work. But this video helped me get both controllers up and running! 😊
