    Ps4 Controller Bluetooth problems


    Hi, I want to use ds4 and a ps4 controller, but my Bluetooth stopped working all of a sudden, and not just my ps4 controllers, every device. I would love some help on why my ps4 controller is not working correctly.

    :)

    Can't link PS4 bluetooth controller

    I found pairing a PS4 controller hit & miss & I have a laptop with Bluetooth.
    I had to use a cable to connect then once done put the DS4 in pairing mode & then Bluetooth saw it (while connected via cable).
    I also use DS for Windows.

    Can't link PS4 bluetooth controller

    Most likely it is a USB Wireless set, several makes and models available. Bluetooth doesn't usually have a dongle unless there is no Bluetooth already in the computer, most Notebooks have it as part of the Wireless/Wi-Fi adapter. If needing Bluetooth on a Desktop one can get a dongle for it such as offered by IOGEAR. The adapter is also usable on Notebooks that didn't come with Bluetooth but a big advantage of built-in Bluetooth is in freeing up a USB port, important when only 2 USB ports are available. Wireless adapters are usually optional on a Desktop [my ASUS has it] and Bluetooth may or may not be part of it.

    To see if you have Bluetooth right-click the Start button, click Device Manager, should get something like this:

    Ps4 Controller Bluetooth problems

    Can't link PS4 bluetooth controller

    So I have a microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse that has it's own bluetooth dongle

    I was told this dongle would be able to be utilized to also link my new PS4 controller

    But I seem to be having issues with the dongle seeing this controller, or even a bluetooth headset I was trying to pair

    So I'm going to assume there is something going on with the dongle

    Do I in fact need a separate bluetooth dongle for this? Or can I somehow force the microsoft one to pair to other bluetooth devices?

    I'm inside of WIndows Settings>Devices>Add Device>Bluetooth and it scans but sees nothing

    Perhaps the dongle for the microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse is a wifi dongle and not bluetooth? How can I tell?
