Playstation 4 Laggy Bluetooth Controller, Possible Solution

[@poncenbysmithe8828]

Just got my ps4 back from the shop with this problem after paying £30 for a clean! This video saved me taking it back, and from now on I will clean my own consoles x

[@rickstechrepairs]

Glad I could help

[@a2frostyyt]

Thank you so much ❤️ I had to plug in my wire to make the controller not lag , u helped me a lot bro it was so easy , TYYY

[@rickstechrepairs]

Glad I could help

[@theimposterofmark]

The thing is, the connection on the controller is crappy I guess but when you point the controller at the playstation/pc, it will work very good for some reason and then when you point it somewhere else, it will start lagging

[@rickstechrepairs]

weird

I’ve been stressing over this for an hour, and yours was the only one to help me find the problem. Thank you!

[@rickstechrepairs]

Awesome to hear this has helped you :)

[@XoTctreevo420]

I kept finding videos with drift my controller not broken just my controller starts tripping out when my wifi goes alil bad like if it has a mind of his own

[@rickstechrepairs]

connect it up to a pc with a usb and run gamepad-tester.com/

[@bilalborbon5349]

Me too have that issue

[@teegee289]

When my neighbors TV is on it shows up in my list of Bluetooth devices and causes my gameplay and controls to be sluggish. When he turns it off, my players, (nhl 23) are extremely fast and controls are very responsive. I cannot pair it to forget it. I've tried basically everything except move my console to the basement. Sony help says it shouldn't cause interference but it does. Unsure if there's anything else I can try.

[@redii2860]

Ayyyeee! I cleaned out my old PS4 today and must of accidentally done the same thing! Works a dream. Thanks Mucka

[@rickstechrepairs]

Excellent to read you got it sorted

[@dooleh84]

If your controller lags, it might be because it's not a real dualshock. I got a Cyberpunk branded Chinese knockoff DS4 because it looks amazing and was $26, but it lags because the bluetooth technology inside it is crap (lags both with the PS5 and my phone), when used with a wire it's working fine, obviously the sticks and triggers are nowhere near good enough to fool anyone that it's the real thing, but at least it doesn't lag that way.

[@rickstechrepairs]

cant say iv tried third party DS4 controllers

[@LeoLeo-ie4ly]

I got a new controller from GameStop. Yes GameStop, and on the day that I tried out the controller there was already a delay and idk what it is

[@bleachboy6870]

Having the same problem but sometimes it is feasible to play when I have the controller at a certain distance and angle to play. Just purchased a new controller and sadly, it still has the same problem

[@rickstechrepairs]

failing bluetooth module or antenna on the PS4

[@themuffin-mann]

Thanks for the solution, it really helped.

[@rickstechrepairs]

Awesome

2:03 THANK U

[@rickstechrepairs]

your welcome

[@superfan931]

I've have this problem now. Everytime I use the controller it cuts out and I have to turn off and on the ps4 to operate the controller. It's not even one controller it's also with my backup controller I use when I play with friends.

[@rickstechrepairs]

sounds like an issue with your PS4 bluetooth antenna or BT IC

[@mrbeepbeep4320]

So what part of the ps4 do I need to take apart

[@AJCoReTV]

How do you open ps4 pro to access the cable?

[@rickstechrepairs]

don't have a video for that

[@brandonpennington1983]

Blue tooth antenna? I've changed one before, but I just got a refurbished ps4 at Game Stop and all controllers are doing this. I know it's refurbished but u still expect it to work.

[@rickstechrepairs]

yes i would expect it to, i would take it back

[@kindestlyholddatl3865]

My controller is weird because my controller randomly cuts off and doesn't move I can't press any buttons or use any buttons but after a few seconds it works again I've been looking into ways how to fix this and there's no way to find a good way to fix this I don't know if it's more controller or it's just something wrong with it

[@rickstechrepairs]

Apart from trying the controller on another console and a different controller on your console, there isn't much you can do

[@kindestlyholddatl3865]

[@egeilyas_]

both of my controllers are laggy asf and they don't support usb connection im guessing the antenna is damaged should i replace it?

[@rickstechrepairs]

I would suspect that

[@egeilyas_]

@@rickstechrepairs Alright

[@thedudebryan98]

I have a ps4 pro and Both of my controllers are acting up. I recently bought one of them. I have reset them but they still act up. All tho it's not crazy like this sometimes it stops working then I'm back in the game normally. It's a bit annoying. I will check the connection method and maybe try turning off my ps4 pro and just resting the controllers again! Thanks for the tips wish me luck if all else fails I'm gonna have to push myself into getting a ps5.

[@rickstechrepairs]

I would be more thinking a failing antenna or Bluetooth chip in the PS4

[@bilalborbon5349]

I have Same problem..

[@thedudebryan98]

@bilalborbon5349 at the time my dumb self had the ps4 behind my TV. So the controller connection would struggle to stay on. I just put my ps4 somewhere it was free and nothing could block the connection.

[@jaygreenn92]

Never had this problem with the launch console before

[@rickstechrepairs]

odd issue

[@k1ng_beast617]

This just recently started happening for no reason so it cant be that my cable disconnected could it?

[@rickstechrepairs]

doubtful

[@osiparian300]

my controller sometimes just doesnt let me controll it for some seconds, know why?

[@rickstechrepairs]

i would usually put it down to being input lag over bluetooth

[@rolandomontana1389]

I bought a new ps4 controller but it doesn't feel the same as the controller that came with my ps4??

[@rickstechrepairs]

not sure

[@rolandomontana1389]

@@rickstechrepairs idk is like when I try to use the joystick it dont work just the touch pad but I can't even use that cause if I touch it, it moves all over the place.

I don't see the part where I can choose the connection method

[@BaRS_flint]

i have this same problem however it also does it with usb connected with both controllers which when connected to another ps4 or my computer work perfectly fine.

[@BaRS_flint]

also, i do not have the option to change my connection method either.

[@rickstechrepairs]

weird, dont have any other suggestions sorry
