To put your PS5 DualSense controller into pairing mode, you can follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that your PlayStation 5 console is turned on and in pairing mode.
  2. Locate the small circular button on the back of the DualSense controller, near the center-top area. This is the Reset button.
  3. Press and hold the Reset button using a small pin or a similar tool. You will need to hold it for several seconds until the controller enters pairing mode.
  4. While continuing to hold the Reset button, look for the PlayStation button (located in the center of the controller) to start flashing in a pulsing blue light. This indicates that the controller is in pairing mode.
  5. With the controller in pairing mode, you can now go to your PS5 console or any other compatible device to complete the pairing process.

Note: The pairing process may vary depending on the device you are trying to pair the DualSense controller with. On the PS5 console, you can navigate to the settings menu and select “Accessories” or “Bluetooth” to initiate the pairing process and connect the controller. On other devices, such as PCs or mobile devices, you may need to access the Bluetooth settings and search for available devices to connect the DualSense controller.

It’s important to note that the exact steps for pairing the DualSense controller may differ depending on the device or platform you are using. It’s always recommended to refer to the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer or consult the device’s user manual for detailed guidance on pairing the DualSense controller with that particular device.
