Sony DualSense Wireless Controller - Cobalt Blue

You can charge the DualSense controller by connecting it to your PlayStation 5 console's USB port or a compatible USB-C wall adapter using a USB-C cable. The light bar will slowly blink orange while charging.

The DualSense Wireless Controller is primarily designed for and fully compatible with the PlayStation 5 console. It offers limited or no native compatibility with older PlayStation consoles like PS4, and its advanced features are not supported on those platforms.

Yes, you can use the DualSense controller on a PC via a USB-C cable or Bluetooth for basic functionality. However, advanced features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers typically require specific game support, drivers, or third-party software on PC.

To turn off the controller, press and hold the `PS` button (the PlayStation logo button) on the controller for approximately 10 seconds. You can also turn it off via the PS5's Quick Menu by selecting `Accessories` > `DualSense Wireless Controller` > `Turn Off`.

Info needed: The battery life can vary significantly based on usage, especially with the intensity of haptic feedback and adaptive trigger effects. It generally provides several hours of gameplay on a full charge.

Connect your DualSense controller to your PlayStation 5 console. The PS5 will typically prompt you if a controller firmware update is available. You can also check manually by going to `Settings` > `Accessories` > `Controllers` > `Wireless Controller Device Software`.

Ensure the controller is charged. Try restarting your PS5 console. If the issue persists, use a paperclip to press the reset button (a small hole on the back of the controller near the Sony logo) for 5 seconds, then attempt pairing again via USB-C cable initially.

Check in-game settings to ensure haptic feedback is enabled. On your PS5, go to `Settings` > `Accessories` > `Controllers` and verify that `Vibration Function` and `Trigger Effect Intensity` are not set to 'Off'. Some games may not fully utilize these features.

Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the controller and the charging source (PS5 console or compatible adapter). Try a different USB-C cable or a different USB port/charging adapter to rule out a faulty cable or port.

Ensure the controller's firmware is up to date (connect to PS5 and check `Settings` > `Accessories` > `Controllers` > `Wireless Controller Device Software`). If cleaning doesn't help, try resetting the controller. If the problem continues, it may indicate a hardware issue.
