🔄 How to Fix PS5 Controller Vibration Issues
If your PS5 DualSense controller is not vibrating correctly, try these solutions:
1️ ⃣ Restart Your Controller
Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve the issue. Here’s how:
✔ ️ Press and hold the PS button until the controller turns off.
✔ ️ Wait a few seconds, then press the PS button again to turn it back on.
If the issue persists, move on to the next step.
2️ ⃣ Reset Your Controller
A full reset can fix many controller issues, including vibration problems.
✔ ️ Find the reset button – Located inside the small hole on the back of the controller.
✔ ️ Use a paperclip or similar object to press and hold the button for 5-10 seconds.
✔ ️ Reconnect the controller to the PS5 using a USB cable.
✔ ️ Press the PS button to re-sync the controller.
This will restore default settings and may fix any vibration-related issues.
3️ ⃣ Adjust Vibration Settings on PS5
Your PS5 has a setting that controls vibration intensity. If it's too low or turned off, you may not feel the feedback properly.
✔ ️ Go to ""Settings"" on your PS5.
✔ ️ Scroll down to ""Accessories"" and select it.
✔ ️ Under ""Controllers,"" find the ""Vibration Intensity"" option.
✔ ️ Choose your preferred intensity:
Strong (Maximum vibration)
Medium (Balanced vibration)
Weak (Reduced feedback)
Off (Disables vibration completely)
If your controller isn’t vibrating, make sure this setting is not turned off.
🔄 How to Test Vibration on PS5 Controller
Want to check if the vibration is working? Here’s how to test PS5 controller vibration:
1️ ⃣ Go to ""Settings"" - ""Accessories"" - ""Controllers"".
2️ ⃣ Adjust ""Vibration Intensity"" to any setting except ""Off"".
3️ ⃣ Open a game that supports haptic feedback (like Astro’s Playroom).
4️ ⃣ Perform an action that should trigger vibration (like shooting or hitting an object).
If the controller still doesn’t vibrate, proceed to the next step.
🔄 Update PS5 Software & Controller Firmware
✔ ️ Go to ""Settings"" - ""System"" - ""System Software"" - ""System Software Update"".
✔ ️ If an update is available, install it.
✔ ️ Next, check for controller updates:
Go to ""Settings"" - ""Accessories"" - ""Controllers"".
Select ""Wireless Controller Device Software"" and update if available.
If the controller is running outdated software, the vibration may not work correctly.
🛠 How to Fix Vibration for Specific Games
Some games allow you to customize vibration settings within their menus. If your PS5 controller vibration isn’t working in a specific game:
✔ ️ Go to the in-game settings and look for ""Controller"" or ""Haptic Feedback"".
✔ ️ Make sure vibration is enabled inside the game.
✔ ️ If the game offers vibration intensity settings, adjust them to Strong or Medium.
If the issue only happens in one game, it may be a game-specific problem rather than a controller issue.
❌ How to Turn Off Vibration on PS5 Controller
If you prefer to disable vibration completely, follow these steps:
1️ ⃣ Go to ""Settings"" - ""Accessories"" - ""Controllers"".
