If you are a gamer and own a PS4, you know how important it is to have a working controller. However, it is not uncommon to experience issues with your PS4 controller, especially if you use it frequently. One issue that many PS4 owners face is a controller that won’t connect to the console, even if it has connected before. This can be a frustrating problem to deal with, especially if you don’t have the USB cable that came with the controller to connect it to the PS4. In this blog post, we will show you how to connect your PS4 controller to your PS4 without using a USB cable.
The first thing you should always do is try to connect your PS4 controller to your console using the USB cable that came with it. However, if you have lost the cable or it’s not working, you can still connect your controller to your PS4 using the following steps.
First, you need to identify the controller that is not connecting to your console. In the case of the person in the video, they had three controllers, but one was not connecting. Once you have identified the controller, go to your PS4 settings and select “Devices.” Next, select “Bluetooth Devices” and find the controller that is not connecting. Once you have located the controller, select it and choose the “Options” button. From there, select “Forget Device” to remove the controller from the list.
Now that the controller has been removed from the list, it’s time to reset the controller. On the back of the controller, locate the small hole where the reset button is located. Use a small object to press the button and hold it for a few seconds. This will reset the controller and prepare it for pairing.
To pair the controller, hold down the “Share” button and the “Home” button until the light on the controller starts blinking. Next, go back to your PS4 settings and select “Bluetooth Devices” again. This time, select the controller you just reset and wait for it to pair with your console. Once the controller has paired, a pop-up will appear asking if you want to use this controller as your main controller. Select “Yes” to complete the process.
In conclusion, if your PS4 controller is not connecting to your console and you don’t have a USB cable, you can still connect it by following the steps above. It may take a few attempts to get it working, but with a little patience, you can successfully connect your PS4 controller to your console without using a USB cable.
