How to Reset Your PS5 Controller to Fix Issues (Best Method)
8If you are experiencing issues with your PS5 DualSense controller, such as problems with connectivity, analog stick drift, or button responsiveness, performing a simple reset is often the best first step to fix them.
The best method for resetting your PS5 controller is a hardware reset using the small reset button on the back of the device.
Step 1: Prepare for the Reset
Make sure your PS5 console is completely turned off (not in Rest Mode).
You will need a small, thin tool, such as a straightened paperclip or a SIM ejector tool.
Step 2: Locate and Press the Reset Button
Turn the controller over so you're looking at the back.
Find the small hole located next to the SONY logo, near the L2 trigger.
Insert your paperclip or tool into the hole. You will feel a small button inside.
Press and hold the button for at least 5 seconds. The controller's light bar will flash and then turn off, indicating that it has been reset to its factory settings.
Step 3: Reconnect and Re-pair the Controller
After the reset, use the official USB-C cable that came with your PS5 to connect the controller directly to the console.
Turn on your PS5 and then press the PlayStation (PS) button on the controller.
The controller will automatically re-pair with the console and the light bar will turn a solid color, confirming the connection.
This hard reset can resolve many common issues without affecting your pairing or profile settings. If the problem persists after the reset, it may indicate a different issue, such as a hardware fault, and you may need to check for a controller firmware update or contact PlayStation support.
