The best and most reliable method to switch your PS5 controller back to the console is by using a USB-C cable. This method forces a direct, wired connection and re-establishes the pairing immediately.

Method 1: Wired Connection (Best Method)
Plug one end of a USB-C cable into the PS5 controller and the other end into a USB port on the front of your PS5 console.
Press the PS button on the controller.

The controller will vibrate, and the light bar will flash, indicating it has re-paired with the console. You can now unplug the cable and use the controller wirelessly.

Method 2: Wireless Switching (Multi-Device Pairing)
With a recent PS5 system software update, the DualSense controller can now remember up to four paired devices. If you've already paired your PS5 and other devices (like a phone or PC) to different "slots," you can switch between them with a button combination.

Make sure your PS5 console is turned on.
Press and hold the PS button and the Triangle button simultaneously.

The controller will switch from the other device and connect to the PS5. The player indicator light will show that it is now assigned to the console.

Note: The PS5 is usually assigned to Slot 1 (PS button + Triangle). If you have other devices paired, they'll be assigned to different slots (e.g., PS button + Circle for Slot 2, PS button + Cross for Slot 3, etc.).

If you're having trouble with either of these methods, you can try resetting the controller. This is done by using a small paperclip to press the tiny reset button on the back of the controller near the SONY logo. This will clear the controller's pairing memory, and you will then need to use the USB-C cable method to re-pair it with the PS5.
