Now all you have to do is plug in ps5 remote to the side an it works just fine. Just have to turn Bluetooth off an hardwire

[@thegringo5000]

Kinda got the wireless part wrong, you dont need a dongle for wireless anymore, you can hold down the left button on the zen untill it flashes and it goes into bluetooth mode and than press on the ps5 controller the ps button and options until you see a blue light flash really fast and it should pair automatically with the zen and thats how you use it wireless, been using it like this since I brought the zen two months ago and just used it last night so it still 100% works

I have a question. I just got my zen today, and trying to set it up. I don't understand what the donor controller is for at all. So can I just buy another PS5 controller for the donor controller so I can have two PS5 controllers instead of buying a PS4 controller that I won't be able to use? I was doing good until I got to this part of the video. I don't understand what the donor controller is for I guess. Also, does Zen have a customer service number I can call? I have a feeling I'm going to need to be walked through this process literally. I am so terrible with computers. I really just don't understand any of this. Thank you.

[@Finsterwald_]

did you solve the problem? You have to connect somethign to A1 (left side of the ZEN) else it will loose connection to the playstation controller. However, I also face problems with the device. Its really a terrible product.
