Can Not Connect NEW PS4 Controller? here's how to fix that 

how am i supposed to go into my system setting if i can’t use my controller to go their since it won’t connect to my ps4…

I was in the same exact situation. Word for word had the same problem and no yt videos that helped, just a repeat of the same old info. However, you are the only one to actually give a fix to the problem. Had a new controller for 4-5 months and it was gathering dust. I was sure it would get drift before I could even use it. But thanks to you I can finally use it! Thank you, I appreciate the video so much!

Just letting you know, this is the ONLY video I found that showed us something that worked. I kind of figured that it wasn't a controller problem after 2 new ones did the same thing. So searching "my PS4 won't connect to ANY new controller" brought me to you. Thank you so much! Our 8 year old is so happy this worked.

Now out of everything that I tried both on RU-vid and Google, you sir are the hero I needed

I also would like to confirm that this did indeed work for me…. Just bought a controller that wouldn’t connect, but this homie came in clutch with the info.. Much appreciated fam 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Only piece of useful information I got when looking this up, thank you so much cause I was about to throw the controller out of the window cause one video said that the controller could just have a bad battery.😂

Out of all the videos I’ve watched, only your solution worked! Thank you so much I was bout ready to toss my controller 😫😂🙏🏼

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar I got tired of seeing the same videos with no solution. Thank you!!!!!

Awesome, this was exactly what I needed to fix my issue 👍

Awesome brother! You're officially the only guy on here who posted a real solution that works! I needed to do this after syncing 2 of my PS4 controllers with my new PS5. After almost an hour of trying the same 3 methods yours was the only one that worked! Cheers!

Thank you ! I went through 3 videos to finally (by chance) come across this one. This video helped and solved my problem I cannot be more grateful!

Thank you so much man, I tried every generic solution from the other videos, and your solution ended up working. The key is to make sure you are in the Bluetooth settings when you hold down the power button and share button on the controller, then it should display the dualshock controller you are trying to connect. And for anyone who doesn't have a controller already connected, so you aren't able to even go to settings. Use a wired controller, you can buy them from pretty cheap only, make sure the controller works with the PS4 and make sure it is a wired controller (doesn't connect using Bluetooth, connects directly through the USB port).

What an absolute legend! Worked perfectly! I would suggest though that if you have old controllers that have broke, hence the reason I bought a new one to forget these devices and delink them. Thank you again!

i am so thankful that you had the same problem cause ive been struggling for 3 days to reconnect my cotroller and finally ive connect both my cotrollers, thank you so much

Just to tell you i watched like almost 5 videos and non helped but yours actually helped and i am sooo grateful even after a year this video doesn't fail to help us clueless people:) Awesome video!
