THANK YOU!!!! You did the thing nobody else did and made a complete list of ways to fix this issue. I was able to connect mine within 10 seconds of finishing your video. I tried for hours last night on my own and just couldn't get it done. You're amazing, my guy. More content plz! Someone needs to sponsor this dude!!!!🤠
I've searched long and far for a way to fix my controller, until I saw this video. This actually worked, while I had only 1 controller, I used the remote play app to go to settings and stuff. Thank you man, you earned a sub.
You’re a lifesaver my guy!! I started getting super frustrated with all the other solutions and I’m so happy that i stumbled upon your video! Thank you 😭
This was a piece of art wrapped up in a rainbow. I couldn't use my controller for month because some way or another it was connected to my laptop and I could never disconnect it from the pc. This was a total godsend. Thanks so much
I have this exact problem but for some reason all of my controllers lost the ability to connect to my ps4 even though I only connected one of them to my pc
I literally was about to toss my two brand new controllers in the garbage and decided to give them one last chance. I stumbled across this golden video. Dude you are a life saver! I've wanted to use these for so long. They connect now with no problem!
This works with brand new controllers both at have never been connected? I ended up just giving mine away and using a broke one but I’ll get it back if it will work with a brand new one that has never been connected to the ps4 before
@@karsenbalsor844 it could work, but you would need a controller already connected. If you have remote play set up, you can follow the steps of my video using a phone or tablet as a controller. Or you could connect a keyboard and follow the steps of my vid that way (according to @Raccoon, "X is enter, Esc is O and F3 is the options button." Otherwise, you will need to grab every micro USB cable you can find and plug each one to your controller and press the PS button. Not all cords work. Most cables are only designed to charge - the cable you use has to be able to charge AND do quick data transfer. Also, you may have the right cable, but the connector might be loose. If none of your cords work, you'll probably need to buy a new one - preferably the PS official cable which is about 10 dollars on Amazon and Gamestop.
You have no idea how grateful I am. Usually when I have a problem with technology, I look through so so so many RUclips tutorials trying to find a solution, and I always find comments like this one saying how thankful they are, but so rarely do any of them work for my specific problem. I'm happy to say that this once an exception, so once again, thank you. Subscriber earned
It works normally. Use old controller, goto settings, go into Bluetooth devices, wait 60 seconds & scroll to bottom of devices list you'll see dualshock at very bottom. Everyone misses that, they never scroll to the fucking bottom of page do they assume there's a problem when there is none. I just paired my new controller with 40 seconds of removing it from box. Nobody ever scrolls down to the bottom of list of Bluetooth devices where the new controller is when it's plugged in. Hold ps & share button and then hit enter with old controller. Done.
I really appreciate that you posted this because I was struggling trying to connect my controller back to my PS4, but when I tried what you said at the last part it worked and now I can play
Thank you so much! I bought a used PS4 with four controllers for my son last year, and only one controller worked. I have tried for hours to connect the other three controllers, checking every FAQ and how-to video I found. But your tip did the trick! Finally we can play multiplayer games! It's amazing that your method isn't mentioned in Sony's troubleshooting guides... THANKS!!
This worked for me!! I can’t thank you enough man, the wife just bought me a crystal clear PlayStation controller for the low low and I was ready to cry when I couldn’t get it to connect LOL
Thank you man!!! I lost my 2nd controller so I decieded to take 2 hours to look for it and after finding it and doing your method, I finally have both controllers back! Thank you man, you're a real lifesaver!

Guys! This is actually the right solution. For those who don't have an extra controller, you can download the remote play app, and then make the whole process of forgetting the controllers, pairing them, and then connecting again. It worked for me, and took me less than 5 minutes. Good Luck!!!

Your awesome dude! Very great demo and easy to comprehend. Also it was great that you went over every possible solution for every problem that could be the issue!

Thank you! This is the second time ive had to look up how to connect my ps4. First time, i did it by resetting the controller, completely shuting off the ps4, and connecting usb after 5+ tries. This time I had to do this method!

@@kodeyedison3922 You'd already have to have it set up. If you haven't set it up yet, you'll need to try something different. Some people have had success plugging in their dualshock to the PS4 with different USB cables and then powering it on. Not all usb cables work.
@@kodeyedison3922I would buy a new cord. One specifically for ps4 dualshock connection. Also, have you tried resetting the controllers? There is a reset button on the back that you have to put a toothpick or pin in to rest the controller.

@@TeezyThaKultre You need two controllers and one has to be functional in order for this to work.
@@Enceladus... I Do have 2 Controllers They do the same thing idk what to do
@@TeezyThaKultre Ouch, sorry. Hopefully there’s a fix and you find it fast.
@@Enceladus... Ive tried 18 vids already And i tried reseting it with a toothpick and then nothing works I guess no more Ps4 :(
I know this video was made a long while ago but dude thank you i can’t imagine how long this took you to figure out but thank god i stumbled across this video i actually almost skipped it so thank you!!
You're very welcome! I'm happy you didn't skip it!
I been trying all day to connect this controller and your vid made it connect first try, after two years you still a goat for this vid 🫡
Thx for commenting! Glad I was able to help you!
This was so helpful! I've had to play single player for the last year. You are a lifesaver!
For a whole year?!? Dang. I'm glad my video helped you!
You literally saved my life. I’m glad I had remote play because none of my other remotes would connect either
Whew! Glad it worked!
How do I do remote play none of my others work ethier please help
@@kodeyedison3922 You'd already have to have it set up. If you haven't set it up yet, you'll need to try something different. Some people have had success plugging in their dualshock to the PS4 with different USB cables and then powering it on. Not all usb cables work.
@@Scrob I tried buddy if this doesn't work what else can I do ?
@@kodeyedison3922I would buy a new cord. One specifically for ps4 dualshock connection. Also, have you tried resetting the controllers? There is a reset button on the back that you have to put a toothpick or pin in to rest the controller.
Thank you SO MUCH MAN!!! I sounded like I was having an exorcism trying to connect mine because nothing would work lol. I have ZERO IDEA as to why Sony had to make things this unreasonably difficult. You are a real lifesaver man, thank you so much!
Thank you so much for letting me know it worked for you!
Oh my God bro thank you so much. I’ve been looking all over RUclips watching videos googling it. Nothing until I found this video. Thank you so much. I have finally fixed my problem.
Glad I could help!

Wow, I can’t believe this actually work I thought that this wouldn’t have worked either.

It worked for me too! Two controllers were out of action, but had a third to do the job. Thanks for posting this, tremendous help!
2 years later and this bud still helped makes me so angry how there is no simple straight vid like this. And how such a big company can have such stupid flaws. Making me think to go xbox
Thanks for the awesome comment!

It didn't work the first time and to be honest I don't know exactly how it was resolved... but the fact is that it was by trying to apply your method that the problem was resolved. Thank you so much !
