About:
The DualShock 4 (CUH-ZCT1) is the PlayStation 4's controller. It has several new features from DualShock 3. One new feature is a built-in two-point capacitive touch pad on the front of the controller, which can be clicked.[35] This allows the touch pad to represent multiple buttons, as demonstrated in the PS4 version of Elite Dangerous in which the four corners of the touch pad can be mapped to a separate clickable actions.[36] The controller supports motion detection via a three-axis gyroscope and three-axis accelerometer and vibration.[35] It includes a non-removable,[37] rechargeable 3.7 V, 1000 mAh lithium-ion battery, which can be charged while the system is in rest mode. It weighs 210 g (7.4 oz) and has dimensions of 162 mm × 52 mm × 98 mm (6.4 in × 2.0 in × 3.9 in).[37]
The front of the controller features a light bar containing three LEDs that, when lit in conjunction, cause the light bar to glow a variety of colors. Developed for PlayStation VR,[38] it can be used to identify players by matching the colors of the characters they control in a game, or to provide enhanced feedback or immersion by changing patterns or colors in reaction to gameplay.[39][40] An early example of this is displayed in the game Grand Theft Auto V; the light bar will flash red and blue when the player is wanted by the police, simulating the flashing lights of a police car. The light bar is also used in conjunction with the PlayStation Camera to judge the positions and movements of multiple players.[39]
The controller features several input and output connectors: a stereo headset jack (3.5 mm CTIA TRRS connector), a micro-USB port, and an extension port.[35] It can be charged using the console, using a dedicated charging station, or via microUSB using a standalone charger.[35] It also includes a mono speaker, like the Wii Remote, and is the second major controller in video game history to have such feature.[35]
The DualShock 4 features the following buttons: PS button, SHARE button, OPTIONS button, directional buttons, action buttons (triangle, circle, cross,[41] square), shoulder buttons (R1/L1), triggers (R2/L2), analog stick click buttons (L3/R3), and a touch pad click button.[35] These mark several changes from the DualShock 3 and other previous PlayStation controllers. The START and SELECT buttons have been merged into a single OPTIONS button.[35][37] A dedicated SHARE button allows players to upload screenshots and videos from their gameplay experiences.[35] The joysticks and triggers have been redesigned based on developer input,[35] with the ridged surface of the joysticks now featuring an outer ring surrounding the convex dome caps. - เกม

Great video!
I was a bit confused at first because the controller didn’t enter pairing mode when the usual blue flashing occurred. It turns out I hadn’t held down the ‘Share’ and ‘PS’ buttons long enough for pairing mode to activate. @: 1:32. Also, keep in mind that if you’re using a PS4 controller on a PC, the audio drivers won’t work with DS4Windows unless you have the PS4 Dongle so the headphones connect thru the controller 3.5mm controller jack.
i dont understand this i am trying t connect my ps4 controller to my laptop and it is not working it is connecting but it is not showing the blue light as in the video it is showing the white light and if anyone knows the answer to this pls comment
my problem is that I'll turn on pairing mode on the controller and search for new device on my pc but the controller wont show up as a device on my pc. I'm especially annoyed because i used to connect them all the time perfectly fine.

th-cam.com/video/4PnibU3qOco/w-d-xo.html
My controllers connected just fine the first time I tried it. Now none of them will connect to my pc. There all fully charged and work just wine when I use a wired connection. Its like the pc is just refusing to connect wirelessly with my controllers suddenly. Whats going on?
same! exepct it dont work on wire. it was working 5 minutes ago then i turned it on to play beamng and then it wouldent connect so i dis connected form bluetooth and it just sat on connecting and diddnt connect
Hey Guys, are you certain that the controller is fully charged? Sometimes the controller stays connected to the PC until the battery runs out unless you manually switch it off by holding the home button for 10 seconds. Obviously if the battery runs out then it will not work via Bluetooth just when you connect again with the cable.
@@LovingTechLifeBoth controllers are fully charged. I checked myself.
Can you try the fixes in here and let me know if they help?

Ever since I connected my PS4 controller to my PS3 via USB, the controller's name has changed to "Playstation 3 Controller" when I check Bluetooth on my laptop or tablet. Now, it's not pairing. I've reset it countless times, but it still shows up as "Playstation 3 Controller". What should I do?
Hey @0.1lemon! I’ve never heard of this happening before. Have you tried connecting to a PS4 console via USB and pairing it by pressing the PS button?
@@LovingTechLife Yes, it works with my console, but the Bluetooth won't connect to my laptop or tablet. It only connects to my laptop when I plug it in.
i cant believe the solution was so simple, thanks so much man

Hi would really use some help. When I connect my ps4 pro to my laptop with playstation screen share app my controller disconnect’s and when I reconnect the screen share disconnects. Could you make a video explaining how to fix that? (I’m on windows 10)
Hey Niner ! Are you talking about “PlayStation Remote Play”? I will need to do some testing to see if I encounter the same issue. If I don’t then some of the other fixes I have made videos for and will release soon might have fixed it already.
@@LovingTechLifeyes I am
Hello, I have a problem with my PS4 controller and it is that when I try to connect it to my laptop it connects normally but after a few seconds it disconnects and does not work in that short period of time but nevertheless it says "connected" and says "error controller"
Same issue here >_>
@@narayanarsidas8405 I fixed that by restarting my computer.
@@narayanarsidas8405 same
@@lamusek8 Tried so many fixes, and actually solved it several times, but I have to restart my pc and troubleshoot every single time. Some weird driver error with one of windows updates I guess? Thinking of buying a new controller to try start again, but the bluetooth in both the controller and pc work fine when paired with other stuff. Very odd issue
@@narayanarsidas8405 i get this driver error, everytime. It connects for a few seconds then disconnects stating driver error. should i revert to some old windows updates? would that fix it?
very useful, thank you!

My main controller it's charging blue lights on red lights on it just does not show up as a Bluetooth device on PC PlayStation 4 on my phone just randomly within the last 4 days nothing happened I just went outside came back and stopped working
Hey @hadhad129! That’s a bummer. What happened when you connect it to your PC or PS4 via the USB? Does it still work.
Does the PS4 console want to update the controller too by chance when plugged in?
I tried so many things in the end even though it was almost fully charged for some reason charging it again until it was fully charged was what worked thanks for that lil tip there was nothing else that I haven't tried
Awesome! 🙌
This whole time I checking if it was dead or if it needed a reset. Using my great intellect, I was pressing the option and PS button the whole time instead of the share and PS button. Well thanks for the help anyway!
Hey GetJiggyWidit! Happens to the best of us 😂
it worked thanks so much
thanks for helping me
pressing share before anything else solved my problem. thanks

my ps4 controller is recognised as audio only and shows orange light and i can't play anything (i have connected it to my pc with usb cable and i dont know what i should do)
Hi keko! There’s a few things you can do here but maybe start by unplugging it then removing the Wireless Controller from the devices list under Audio and anywhere else on the Bluetooth and other devices section and go ahead and plug it in again and press the PS button. Also do you have Bluetooth on your pc?
@@LovingTechLife Greetings. Thanks for your reply. I have tried it with 3 different PS4 controllers but same thing. Tried unplugging them and all that,though I am afraid that it's a bluetooth issue. I will let you know soon.
@@k3koo. Having the same issue, u figure it out?
my controller lights up, without being connected to anything. And I tried it on mobile phone but it doesnt appear on it, WHATS HAPPENING. it was working before
Hey @Yoo-Kang I think I read you were also having driver issues and you try out instructions in this video to see if that fixes it for you?
