How To Connect PS4 Controller To PS4

[peanutt]

I tried everything in this video sadly it didn't work. No cable would. But I did find a cordless solution. Go into Bluetooth devices on the ps4 and remove all controllers except for one that is currently connected if there is one, put the unpairable into Bluetooth search mode via holding ps button and share button at the same time for about 5 seconds or until controller is flashing. The system should now detect the controller. Also, if none of your controllers will pair via USB thus you can't controll the system, you can attach a USB mouse or keyboard to navigate the system. Hope the video or my tip helps.

thanks that resetting it with a paper clip for five seconds helped I’m noticing a lot of times my controller doesn’t want to connect but now with this I can easily resolve that issue with the paper clip that will remain right next to my PS4 just in case I need it again

But haven’t played since 2013 since I didn’t know how the damn controller works

This is a guide for a new PS4 user. To the people that just recently buy it on Christmas ☃️🎄 or something. I don't know why, peoples keep saying this is useless & outdated. It's not. Better late than never.😄

Best Tutorial Hand Down. Strait to the point, without the normal jibberish or mansplainig.

Finally a normal video, all videos like this. Take 45 minutes to get to the point.

None of these work for some reason, whenever I press the button on the controller to turn it on, it just blinks light blue over and over again and stops. I tried plugging it in to charge and still it didn't work. I'm honestly getting worried I have to buy a completely different controller because I have not been able to play on my ps4 for months. If anyone has a solution than please let me know.

[GraveYrdShifter]

I’ve tried these steps but for some reason, when the controller is suppose to turn solid blue after you plug it in and press the ps button, it turns solid yellow instead. I even did the hard reset and it still happens

[NatanMatysiak]

Thank you for the video! It worked! For those people who didn’t work, you need to try different cables, because some can only charge, and some can also send data.

Bought my ps4 years ago but couldn't figure it out, thank you so much now I can actually play

[ColtonTurner-vfub]

Thx the controller I regularly use has stick drift, so I’m using different controller. Thank you.

[alitalib]

[jaidentslgl]

Very helpful video. Just watch from the 33 second mark for about 10 seconds to connect PS4 controller
