The Best Way to Connect PS4 Controller to PS4 Console (Fix Not Working)
6The best way to connect a PS4 controller (DualShock 4) to your PS4 console is by using a USB cable for a reliable, direct connection, especially if it’s your first time pairing or if the controller isn’t syncing wirelessly. Here’s how to do it effectively:
Turn on your PS4 console by pressing the power button on the front or using another controller if available. Grab a USB cable—preferably the one that came with your PS4, or any micro-USB cable that supports data transfer (some cheap cables are charge-only).
Plug one end into the controller’s micro-USB port on top and the other into one of the USB ports on the front of the PS4. Press the PS button in the center of the controller; the light bar on the back will light up (usually yellow for player one) and the controller will sync automatically. Once connected, you can unplug the cable and use it wirelessly, as the PS4 registers the controller via Bluetooth for future use.
If you want to pair it wirelessly without a cable, ensure the controller isn’t linked to another device (like a phone or PC). Turn on the PS4, go to Settings, then Devices, then Bluetooth Devices using a working controller or the console’s power button navigation. On the unpaired controller, press and hold the PS button and Share button together for 5 seconds until the light bar flashes rapidly. It’ll appear on the PS4 screen as DUALSHOCK 4 Wireless Controller—select it to pair. The light bar will turn solid, usually blue or another player color.
For the best results, keep the controller charged (plug it in if the light doesn’t turn on), stay within 20 feet of the console, and avoid interference from other Bluetooth devices. If it won’t sync, reset the controller by pressing the small button on the back near the L2 trigger with a paperclip for 5 seconds, then retry with the USB method. The cable approach is the most foolproof, especially for initial setup or troubleshooting.
