We show you the options to connect the PS5 DualSense controller to the PC and mobile devices.

The wait is over, PS5 has already gone on sale in all major markets. As is often the case when a system hits stores, doubts and questions accumulate. In today’s times, many of the devices work beyond the console itself. This is the case of the DualSense, the command of Sony’s new generation machine. Although the Japanese company has not developed specific drivers for PCs, it is compatible. Of course, it loses haptic functions and other functionalities.

How to connect the controller to PC

With cable

DualSense, PS5

To be able to connect your DualSense to the PC by cable you need a USB-C that has USB-A output (the standard one, to understand us better). The console includes a unit in the pack, so in principle you should not have major problems. Of course, the controls sold separately do not include it in the box. Once you have the cable in your hands, just connect the USB-C to the remote and the USB-A output to the computer. The PC will detect it and you can play your games with the DualSense.

By Bluetooth

In this case, they will need to have Bluetooth technology on the computer (or connect an adapter). If you have already installed other controllers of the previous generation, the process will be quite familiar.

  • First, open the “Bluetooth and other device settings” menu.
  • Next, click on “Add Bluetooth and other devices”. The PC will start searching for compatible devices.
  • It is time to press the PS and Share button (to the right of the touch panel) at the same time until you see a little light
  • Then the computer will detect a wireless controller. Click and it would be ready.
  • DualSense, PC

    How to connect the controller to Android

  • The first thing to do is make sure your PS5 console is turned off.
  • Next, press the PS button and the Share button at the same time. When the touch panel starts to show blue lights it is already searching for devices.
  • On your mobile, activate Bluetooth and soon the “Wireless Controller” device will appear on the screen. Click and you can now use DualSense on an Android mobile.
