    How do I connect my PS4 controller to my laptop?


    Hello! My situation's kinda hard to explain. But basically, I bought a PS4 controller to use for my laptop. After some days, I decided to fix our old PS3 and I wanted to try if the PS4 controller is compatible to it since our original PS3 controllers were not working. I tested it, and it worked. Now, I am trying to connect the PS4 controller to my laptop again, but the name is now "Sony PLAYSTATIONR3 Controller" with an "Input" below it. It also asked for a pin, and from what I searched, the pin was 0000. I tried it, and it said that it was connected but right after, it said that it was not

    PS4 Controller (bluetooth) connection issues

    My PS4 controller, which worked perfectly fine with my laptop until today, now won't connect properly. I try to connect the controller, and the controller just turns off. On my laptop it says the controller is connected, but the controller is obviously not.

    My drivers are all updated.

    I've already tried basic steps like restarting the computer.

    What should I do?
