One of the great things about the PlayStation 4 (PS4) is its versatile gaming experience, allowing players to connect and use various controllers. While the default DualShock 4 controller provides an excellent gaming experience, some players prefer using a different controller like the PS4 controller. However, what happens when you don’t have a USB cable on hand to connect your controller to the console? In this blog post, we will explore an easy and convenient method to connect your PS4 controller to the PS4 without using a USB cable. So, if you’re ready to dive into the wireless gaming world, let’s get started!
In order to pair controllers with your PlayStation 4, make sure it’s turned on or in Rest Mode. Simply awaken it if it’s in Rest Mode, as controllers can only be paired when the console is powered on.
To put your PS4 controller into pairing mode, simultaneously press and hold the ‘PS’ button and the ‘Share’ button for approximately 5 seconds until the controller’s light bar starts flashing.
On the PS4’s main menu, locate and select the “Settings” option. Once in the settings menu, scroll down and choose “Devices” to access further customization options and settings.
In the “Devices” menu, select “Bluetooth Devices” to find a list of paired devices on your PS4. This feature allows you to manage and connect Bluetooth devices seamlessly for a hassle-free gaming experience.
After activating pairing mode on your controller, your PS4 will scan for compatible devices. Once the controller appears on the list, select it using your existing controller or the PS4 system buttons, then press “X” to initiate the pairing process.
Once the system recognizes the controller, the light bar will stop flashing and glow steadily. Your PS4 controller is now wirelessly connected to your PS4, eliminating the need for a USB cable.
In conclusion, connecting your PS4 controller to your PS4 without a USB cable is a simple and convenient task that opens up a whole new world of gaming possibilities. Whether you prefer the wireless freedom or need to conserve USB ports, this method allows you to seamlessly connect your controller and enjoy your gaming experience. So go ahead and follow the steps outlined in this post, and get ready to immerse yourself in the world of gaming without the hassle of a USB cable. Happy gaming!
