If you own a PlayStation 4, you know how important the PS4 controller is for your gaming experience. Sometimes, however, you may encounter connectivity or responsiveness issues that require you to reset the controller. Don’t worry, we have got you covered! In this step-by-step guide, we will show you exactly how to reset your PS4 controller.

What You Will Need:

  • A PS4 controller
  • A small paperclip or SIM card ejector tool
  • A USB cable (micro-USB to USB-A)
  • A PlayStation 4 console

Step 1: Turn off the PS4 Console

Before starting the reset process, make sure to turn off your PS4 console completely. You can do this by navigating to the “Power” tab on the home screen and selecting “Turn Off PS4.”

Step 2: Locate the Reset Button

On the back of your PS4 controller, you will find a small hole near the L2 button. This hole is the reset button.

Step 3: Insert the Paperclip or Ejector Tool

Take your paperclip or SIM card ejector tool and gently insert it into the reset hole until you feel a slight resistance. Be careful not to apply too much pressure.

Step 4: Hold Down the Reset Button

Press and hold the reset button for about 5 seconds. You will need to use a bit of force, but again, be careful not to damage the controller.

Step 5: Connect the Controller to the PS4 Console

Now it’s time to connect your PS4 controller to the console using the USB cable. Plug one end of the cable into the controller’s micro-USB port and the other end into one of the USB ports on your PS4 console.

Step 6: Turn on the PS4 Console

Once the controller is connected, turn on your PS4 console using the power button on the front. Wait a few seconds until the console recognizes the controller.

Step 7: Pair the Controller

Press the PlayStation button (the large button in the middle) on your controller to pair it with the console. You should see the LED light on the controller change from white to a solid color, indicating a successful pairing.

Step 8: Test the Controller

After the pairing process is complete, test your controller by navigating through the PlayStation menu or launching a game. Check if the connectivity and responsiveness issues have been resolved.

Troubleshooting Tips:

If the controller is still not working properly, try the following troubleshooting tips:

  • Make sure your controller and console are both updated to the latest firmware versions.
  • Try using a different USB cable or USB port on the console.
  • If possible, test the controller on another PlayStation 4 console to see if the issue persists.
  • Contact PlayStation support for further assistance if the problem continues.

Resetting your PS4 controller can often resolve minor connectivity or responsiveness issues. By following this step-by-step guide, you can quickly reset your controller and get back to enjoying your gaming sessions without any interruptions!
