Thank you for the guide mate, I did not knew about this share and PS button together. thanks again.

So, I'll go straight to the point. I have two PCs, both of them have an ASUS motherboard (albeit different models, the one I am currently using has a Z170 one), both of them have Windows 10, one of them has a Bluetooth Dongle while mine uses an antenna that's connected to the motherboard via three golden pins. I have two controllers, a PS5 Dualsense and a PS4 Dualshock one. Connecting the Dualsense to either of the computers was a piece of cake and took me less than ten seconds (and I got it working with all of my Steam games right away). However, getting the PS4 controller to work via Bluetooth is so hard, frustrating and difficult it's starting to become infurating.

If I connect the PS4 controller via a micro-USB cable, it works A-OK with no problems whatsoever. Whenever I try to connect it via BT, that's when the problems arise. The steps should be extremely simple, just like it was for the PS5 controller:
- Turn BT on.
- Press SHARE + Power button to enter pairing mode.
- Click "Add Bluetooth Device".
- Voila.

This is not the case for me though. Whenever I click "WIRELESS CONTROLLER" and it finally "pairs", said "WIRELESS CONTROLLER" instantly goes from "CONNECTED" to "PAIRED" in a matter of 2 seconds. The light on the back of the controller turns off after 20 or so seconds, too. I tried doing this via the "Bluetooth and other devices" settings menu, and through "Hardware and sound --> Add a device". Neither of those options have worked. I have:

- Reseted the controller using a safety pin.
- Uninstalled all HID drivers (and reinstalled them) by plugging the controller to my PC.
- I have uninstalled and reinstalled all BT drivers.

I know it's not a controller issue because I can connect it to my phone and it works like a charm, so it's Windows 10 throwing a tantrum. What can I do? I am really desperate at this point, and I have scoured Google in hopes of finding an answer to this question, but Google stops being useful after page 6. Help please!

I've tried all the steps mentioned in this video and got my PC to detect my PS4 controller via bluetooth during the 'Add Device'. However, my PC does not pair to my PS4 controller succesfully and times out after idling at the 'Connecting' stage after a while. Any idea why this is happening and is there another fix to this?

good job dude the only one on the internet knowing what he s doing

[normalguycap]

I don't think my computer's bluetooth connection is very good, so I think I need to buy an adapter. Any recommendations?

[mikeholloway]

Can 2 controllers be connected at the same time?

[theantagonist]

My controller doesn't stay flashing even after the hard reset with the paperclip, should I reset it for longer? Or is my share button just not working?

[muhammadsalahuddin]

I have a problem, after i connect the controller suddenly it change from "Connected" to "Paired". The controller stop flashing like its connected but it doesnt working.

[thunderclayton-evans]

An easier way is to go to bluetooth devices on your ps4 settings and press on the controller you want to connect to your pc and there should be a "forget device" button that you can press, it works like a charm and at least for me is more easy. (Though im only saying this for people with more than one controller so for people with only one controller the way he is saying is a better way)

[crnova]

This works for the JPD-PS4BT-01 Gembird on Widows 11 too!! First I only hold the on button, but to connect bluetooth after installing DS4Windows I had to hold the share button together. Thanks.

[domex]

When i connect mine to the phone it has a dark blue colour light and it works, but when i connect it to my pc only a light blue colour shows up and it doesnt work?

[cathaloshea]

will ds4 connect vie bluetooth 5.0 or does it have to be the same bluetooth version as the controller thanks

[syk]
