I need your help please. I wrote this question to you long ago with no response. I have a similar issue I have 2 controllers, 1 that came with the console mostly work's great other than needing a new battery but my real issue is my newer black controller will work perfectly fine on the PlayStation home screen but once I try to use it in game the controller stops being able to control anything except for the PS button. Swap back to my original controller and everything works fine. I use a wired connection for internet connection and i have tried having the controller plugged into USB and without and the problem remains. Please save me from buying another controller, thanks in advance for any help.
@@qwertyuiop8833 they always are when it's something that can be clickbaited. It's one of my least favourite channels because he makes the console look like shit because he's genuinely an idiot, no offence. A bit harsh, but I'm not wrong...

Just want to say, I've dropped my controller and it stopped connecting and kept disconnecting.Likely just needed the reset button at back but tried the wifi aswel and now it works. My gratitude is immeasurable and my appreciation is understated. May God bless your day
The controller that comes with my PS5 surprisingly is still doing well for two years now and not a single stick drift but the rubber part on the joystick is coming off. I wanted to buy the purple controller but I’ll wait for the pro controller to come out.
Bro finally you make a video on this I’ve been gettin major input lag on my controller because of this and I’m on Ethernet I had to move my router further away from my ps5 to fix it
Dude, don't know HOW this worked, but turning off my Wired Connection, suddenly connected my controller with the same cable it wouldn't charge or connect with, and even completed the update. Went from a brick to connected and working again. It's a mystery, but I'll take it! Well done for thinking out the box..
I have 2 controllers that already have stick drift from regular use and I’m not even hard on my controllers I wish instead of making the controllers have microscopic x,o,square and triangle they focused on the biggest problem with DualShocks. Stick drift has been a issue for so long at this point I wonder if they keep it just to sell more controllers lol
One thing to note is that if the PS5 is not picking up 5G wifi it is recommended to change the channel of the signal in the router from automatic to a fixed channel (usually 36 or 44) that way the PS5 should read networks all the time.
Got into this problem when I moved my ps5 from my bedroom (ethernet) to my living room (wifi) never had the issue, so naturally I was infuriated until I found out about your video. Thanks so much!
I like the short formate for you videos quick and too the pint with gray tips and tricks that I have used one my own system keep up the great work and can’t wait for your next upload
Thank you so much.. I was boutta send my console into Sony, I tried everything, even bought a new one at Walmart, this was the last vid I saw ur the best and thanks again. 🙏
this was around since the ps2 days, yes, the ps2 days, there was wireless pads and they were 2.4hz and they would freak out over anything, i had to return mine since my neighbor had some walkie talkies from work that would interfere, and i am shcocked that decades later, this problem is still around.
Happened to me recently. I was able to turn my ps5 on with the controller but wasn't connecting to pick a profile. I tried reseting my ps5 by pressing the power button and didn't work. I then shut it off by holding the power button for 5 secs. I used the controller to turn it back on and it was working. So I recommend to shutting down the ps5 completely and trying again.
Also. If you don’t have 5G. Consider going into your router settings and changing the channel range. Sometimes that helps. End of the day though, hard lining in is always best.
All 3 of my PS5 controllers were acting weird and disconnecting and I’ve been playing the MW3 beta as was fixing to go buy another one until I found this video!!! You saved me time and money by switching my internet on my PS5 to 5G thank you!!!!!
This reminded me of those old RC cars that when you bought two of the same model if you played with them too close the controllers would try to control the other car instead of yours XD
One of the best things about this dude is that he never takes credit for himself when he uploads something. He always respects us, the audience, and he is always full of energy in his videos. Keep up the hard work!
Bluetooth and WiFi use the same 2,4 GHz frecuency, so it is not a problem exclusive from the ps5 controller. A good solución would be the first one proposed, to change your Internet connection from a 2,4Ghz WiFi to a 5 GHz if posible
I had drift on my launch controller. Sony quickly shipped me a new one and in September 2022 I haven’t had any issues and got a red and black dual sense that work perfect.
Sony should be embarrassed how bad the bluetooth connectivity is for these controllers. I have bargain basement $15 controllers that are FLAWLESS. But not Sony.
I’m already on ethernet but my controller still disconnects sometimes. The real issue is that it doesn’t communicate my inputs properly while it’s figuring itself out. Tapping a button or slightly moving the analog stick is registering as a hold and making games unplayable. It only happens sometimes and I can’t figure out why. This video is the closest I’ve gotten to an explanation for it
Yeah,I have the same problem.And it's a new issue I didn't have back then.It became a real problem.Also my headset will cancel the sound like 1-2 seconds. I thought I have this problem just myself, getting a bit crazy.They should fix this quick!
Try playing the controller using wired USB connection to see if the problem still exists? If it goes away, then you know it has something to do with wireless interfere or the controller might be faulty. Sony require that we update our controller firmware whoever they release an update.
Yes I have been having the same issues with both of my controllers. It will take few seconds to register and then it would respond but even more than the amount of time the button was selected. And sometimes it would not respond at all. I've been trying to look up for a fix but haven't found anything yet.
@@BertoJA876 channel interference doesn't have anything to do with WiFi passwords. It's essentially where all the radio frequencies are full of other connections so the controller has to choose the least bad one.
I use 5 ghz ever since the latest playstation update my controllers don't work unless plugged in can't even turn PS5 on with controllers luckily I play close to my PS5 so I always have the controller plugged in anyways but glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing this issue
Just got my PS5, and my controllers touch pad doesn’t work. I tried resetting the ps5, the controller and deleting and reconnecting the controller. All are temporary fixes, but the problem comes back.
Two controllers, none working. The new update did it. So peed off right now and went off to buy a new controller. Just in case. That didn't work either. I decided to plug my controller in using my Samsung S22 charger and hey presto! That grey box changed to hilighted and I could update my controller :) So in short, the charge cable charges fine, but to update I had to use a Samsung charge cable lol
Haven’t had issues with my Dualsense not connecting or disconnecting but I do have very bad connectivity issues while trying to play Warzone. Sometimes my controller feels very stick drfity. Where I’m trying to look around and it takes a while for it to actually turn and what not. Any tips to fix this? Probably just buy a new controller soon, I’ve been using my PS4 scuf for the time being with no issues
dude this has been my problem for the past few months I’d turn it on and all the sudden the controller would flash blue and the ps network would get kicked offline I’m like wtf. So I’d restart it and it would work for a few seconds and same things would happen. Last time it did this. I bought a new controller so I could get it to work and delete my other two controllers and it worked so I took that new controller back to Walmart. And every month it would happen again. But I made sure my ps5 was using my 5G instead and it fixed everything!!! Thanks for saving me to buy another controller I didn’t need and keeping me thinking it was the controller
I still have my backup controller packed away never had it for over a year so far, still using my day one controller its freaking flawless 🤣🤣 you know what...... Thanks for a great 1st controller #SONY #Deadassserious👍
I never had this issue by collecting to the wifi internet and I got the NightHawk Gear wifi and it’s super fast too and I never had this issue with my DualSense controller
Mines recently conked out. Im blaming it on my cousin who 😩dropped it…I tried what you said and the controller won’t charge…I’m convinced I need a new one..🧐
I use a gaming router that’s connected to my home router, I make sure no one uses it and I made it only emit a 2.4 signal and I haven’t had this problem yet

Hey guys I really need help with my ps5 control. Was playing and suddenly no buttons was working except the joysticks! So restarted my ps5 console. And now my control doesn't want too work at all the ps button ,no response! . When put the USB cable in the controller too try too connect it a get a orange light that lasts for 1 sec then nothing happens. I've tried too reset the controller ,unplugged the console.

Interesting. I've never had this problem. Probably because I keep my system on a wired connection.
Same. An Ethernet cable is 100% worth it. My router is in another room so I had to place the wire across the attic. Still worth it.
It depends on your area if you have very large amounts of wifi routers nearby then this might happen as all 2.4ghz channels might be full
Or if your Wi-Fi SSID has a network password... I don't understand how this can happen. People must have open unprotected Wi-Fi network.
