Common issues with a PS5 controller on PC: how to solve them

If you opt for a wired connection, make sure to use a compatible USB cable – preferably the original cable – and check that it is not defective. In case of Bluetooth synchronization issues, try restarting the pairing process from the beginning.
Battery or power issues
If your game controller does not charge, the USB cable or its connector is likely the cause: test another compatible cable. If the controller no longer turns on in wireless mode, the battery may be defective; in which case, your controller will need to be repaired or replaced.
