- Now hold down the Create and PS buttons for roughly 5 seconds, or until the status lights on the controller start to flash blue.
- With your controller now in Pair Mode you can try to wirelessly connect your controller to Windows.
Note: When you place your controller into Pair Mode, it will no longer be connected to your PS5.
- From the Windows Desktop select the Windows button – Settings – Bluetooth and Devices
- Now in the Bluetooth and Devices panel select Add device
- When prompted to choose the kind of device that we want to add, choose Bluetooth
- Under Add a Device you will see listed, Wireless Controller.
