  • Pair a PS4 Controller With Your Amazon Fire TV Stick or Cube
    A Playstation 4 controller (and I bet a Playstation 5 controller when it comes out) can be paired and used with your Amazon Fire TV Stick or Cube. You're going to be able to use it going forward and anytime you turn on the Playstation controller and the Fire Stick the two will re-pair and you can play games. Now I'm playing tons of games on my Fire TV Stick and you can see all the ways I'm extending the device in this video here: • Hidden Tips and Tricks...
    If you do have trouble, make sure you update your Amazon Fire TV Stick and/or your Fire TV Cube! Your PS4 Controller should have a full battery as well.

    My Playstation 4 controller won't ever pair. It just keeps acting like it doesn't detect it. I have the original Playstation 4 controller from the release date I'm 2013. Is that the problem? Do first generation controllers not work or what's the problem?

    • @TechYourLife1
      @TechYourLife1  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just do the full reset. I am not sure if it's in this video but there's a way to basically clear everything with these controllers. I think it's got something to do with the track pad and another button if I remember correctly

    • @dannythedon82
      @dannythedon82 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@TechYourLife1 So it doesn't matter of if the Playstation 4 controller is first generation? Because some people are saying only the second generation works because second generation has a light bar in the middle of the track pad as well as the light at the top and the first generation doesn't have a light in the middle of the track pad. Only at the top so maybe that's the problem? I don't know but it sucks that if that is the case that I have to buy another controller when the first generation still has Bluetooth built in it. I'm screwed with the first generation Xbox one controllers which have no Bluetooth only the second generation does. If you can find the video your talking about please send me the link because I to see if I can somehow get the controller to work.

    Can it be that you can no longer pair / connect a Ps4 controller with the Fire Tv 4K Stick and installed the latest firmware?
    About a year ago I used my Ps4 controllers 100% several times to play on the Fire TV, but currently I cannot connect any of my 5 Ps4 controllers to the 4k stick because the stick simply cannot find the controllers anymore. :(

    • @BabaFleXxX69
      @BabaFleXxX69 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for your efforts, but I just managed to outsmart the fire tv 4k Stick and reconnect a ps4 controller myself.
      I started my mocute 054 controller with the latest firmware in MTK / PC mode for android (in normal android auto mode, the fire tv couldn't find the mocute controller either), then I was able to connect it to the 4k stick and during the mocute connected, I was able to connect a ps4 controller to the fire tv 4k stick as an additional controller. But if I terminate the connection to the mocute and completely remove it, the fire tv will strangely not find the ps4 controller again if I have also removed it.
      Really crazy. ^^
      Well, no matter, the main thing is that a ps4 controller can now be connected to my fire tv 4k via bluetooth using this trick and used without any problems.
      My experience just made may also help other connection problems between the ps4 controller and the fire tv 4k. :)

    • @TechYourLife1
      @TechYourLife1  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I find the PS4 controllers just need a full reset sometimes. There's a little pin hole to do that in. Then they seem to connect fine. I'm betting it's some kind of device buffer that gets filled up.

      I bought a Firestick 4K for Christmas and had the exact same problem;
      My old model PS4 controller would pair with the Firestick, the light would be a solid white but none of the buttons did anything.
      Although the device only just having been updated, I let it check for updates, updated it to 6.2.7.7 and the controller suddenly worked as expected.
      I did have some trouble trying to re-connect the controller after having paired it with my PS4 again. Had to do several rounds of resetting the controller, unplugging and plugging the fire stick and trying to pair it through settings, but it worked eventually 😂
