Sony DualShock 4 Controller - Blue

The DualShock 4 controller charges via a standard micro USB cable (not included). You can connect it to your PlayStation 4 console, a computer's USB port, or a USB wall adapter.

Yes, the DualShock 4 controller is compatible with PCs. You can connect it via a micro USB cable or wirelessly via Bluetooth. You may need third-party software like DS4Windows or use Steam's Big Picture mode for full compatibility and customization with PC games.

You will need a micro USB cable for both charging and wired connection to your PS4 or PC. This cable is not included with the controller.

To reset the controller, locate the small hole on the back of the controller near the L2 button. Use a thin, pointed object like an unfolded paperclip to press and hold the button inside for 5 seconds. This will hard reset the controller.

Restored to factory settings means the controller's internal software has been reset to its original state, clearing any previous connections or custom configurations. This ensures it functions as intended, like a new device, from a software perspective.

The battery life typically ranges from 4 to 8 hours on a full charge, depending on usage intensity, such as the brightness of the light bar and the frequency of vibration and speaker use. It's recommended to charge it after each extended gaming session.

For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure it's not dripping wet and avoid getting moisture into any ports or openings. Do not use harsh cleaning agents or solvents.

Ensure the controller is charged by connecting it with a micro USB cable. If it still doesn't turn on, try resetting it by inserting a thin object (like a paperclip) into the small hole on the back near the L2 button for 5 seconds. Then, try to pair it again with a cable.

First, try resetting the controller as described above. If the issue persists, ensure there's no physical debris obstructing the buttons or sticks. For analog stick 'drift', try recalibrating in game or checking for driver updates on PC. For PS4, the reset often resolves minor software glitches.

Reduce the light bar brightness via the PS4 Quick Menu (`PS` button > `Sound/Devices` > `Brightness of DUALSHOCK 4 Light Bar`). Also, disable the built-in speaker and set the controller to turn off automatically after a period of inactivity (`Power Save Settings`).

Ensure there are no obstructions between the controller and the console/PC. Try moving closer to the console. For PC, ensure your Bluetooth drivers are up to date. If using a cable, try a different micro USB cable to rule out cable issues. Resetting the controller can also help.

Check your game's settings and PS4 system settings (`Settings` > `Devices` > `Controllers` > `Enable Vibration`) to ensure vibration is enabled. If it's enabled and still not working, a controller reset may be necessary.
