I need your help please. I wrote this question to you long ago with no response. I have a similar issue I have 2 controllers, 1 that came with the console mostly work's great other than needing a new battery but my real issue is my newer black controller will work perfectly fine on the PlayStation home screen but once I try to use it in game the controller stops being able to control anything except for the PS button. Swap back to my original controller and everything works fine. I use a wired connection for internet connection and i have tried having the controller plugged into USB and without and the problem remains. Please save me from buying another controller, thanks in advance for any help.

[@jkcaravaca]

One thing to note is that if the PS5 is not picking up 5G wifi it is recommended to change the channel of the signal in the router from automatic to a fixed channel (usually 36 or 44) that way the PS5 should read networks all the time.

[@EpicLebaneseNerd]

this was around since the ps2 days, yes, the ps2 days, there was wireless pads and they were 2.4hz and they would freak out over anything, i had to return mine since my neighbor had some walkie talkies from work that would interfere, and i am shcocked that decades later, this problem is still around.

[@psyberiusblack]

Also. If you don’t have 5G. Consider going into your router settings and changing the channel range. Sometimes that helps. End of the day though, hard lining in is always best.

Ud think Sony would Use a different frequency to avoid this issue

[@salvadorgarcia5195]

Happened to me recently. I was able to turn my ps5 on with the controller but wasn't connecting to pick a profile. I tried reseting my ps5 by pressing the power button and didn't work. I then shut it off by holding the power button for 5 secs. I used the controller to turn it back on and it was working. So I recommend to shutting down the ps5 completely and trying again.

[@Mike322161]

I’m already on ethernet but my controller still disconnects sometimes. The real issue is that it doesn’t communicate my inputs properly while it’s figuring itself out. Tapping a button or slightly moving the analog stick is registering as a hold and making games unplayable. It only happens sometimes and I can’t figure out why. This video is the closest I’ve gotten to an explanation for it

Yeah,I have the same problem.And it's a new issue I didn't have back then.It became a real problem.Also my headset will cancel the sound like 1-2 seconds. I thought I have this problem just myself, getting a bit crazy.They should fix this quick!

[@devincurrie4145]

Try playing the controller using wired USB connection to see if the problem still exists? If it goes away, then you know it has something to do with wireless interfere or the controller might be faulty. Sony require that we update our controller firmware whoever they release an update.

[@Showtime4773]

Yes I have been having the same issues with both of my controllers. It will take few seconds to register and then it would respond but even more than the amount of time the button was selected.

If your router isn't close to PS5, using 5GHz causes high latency. So the best option is cable

Isn't the PS5 controller communication method Bluetooth not WiFi...Bluetooth allows for short-range data transfer between devices.

Bluetooth doesn't interfere with WiFi. Different frequencies.

There is also an other problem that I've actually faced with the 3D Pulse headset for the PS5. Whenever I'm on Wifi on my PS5 and play any games online, they lag a lot while using the 3D Pulse headset. Whenever I move to wired connection it doesn't makes any problem at all. I'm guessing it is due to its 2.4ghz adapter that is messing up with the Wifi and making the games lag. I've tried using multiple Pulse headsets and they all had the same problem. So if you are facing the problem then know you can either use them wired through your PS5 controller or just use ethernet cable and it will be fine.

@J Except the shape of the entire controller itself is not even remotely the same. The triggers and bumpers are drastically changed in shape. The buttons are less mushy all around. Grips are entirely different. Build quality is much sturdier. Vibration function is genuinely fantastic. "No one" uses the resistance triggers, yeah maybe at high level competitive play, otherwise it's just a cool tool for devs to utilize. The touch pad has always been a supplemental option to allow certain games to even work on a console setting like final fantasy 14.
