Disable PS5 controller Bluetooth

How can you Disable Bluetooth on the DualSense controller? Can you do that? Turn off Bluetooth on the PS5 controller and a Force connection to the console via the USB cable? Similar to what was possible with the Dualshock 4 controller of the previous console in the form of the PlayStation 4, the DualSense controller of the PlayStation 5 can be connected to the console not only wirelessly via Bluetooth, but also via a cable. Normally the controller automatically detects that a USB cable is plugged in and starts charging the battery. Even if the USB cable is connected, communication between the controller and console continues to take place wirelessly via Bluetooth. In this article we will show you how to “Disable Bluetooth” so that the PS5 controller communicates with the console via the USB cable.

Disable PS5 controller Bluetooth and connect via USB

About that Disable Bluetooth on the PS5 controller and the Connect via a USB cableyou simply have to use the so-called “Communication method” from “Use Bluetooth” on “Use USB cable“ change.

  1. Start the PlayStation 5 and press the PlayStation button on the controller once in the main menu to open the control center.
  2. In the control center at the bottom, select “Accessories” and the corresponding controller and open the “Controller settings”.
  3. In the controller settings you can now switch from “Use Bluetooth” to “Use USB cable” under “Communication method” (see screenshot).

Incidentally, the setting only works with the DualSense controller of the PlayStation 5 and NOT with the Dualshock 4 controller (more precisely the CUH-ZCT1 series), provided you have connected it to the PS5 and are using it. You should of course change the setting again if you later want to connect the PS5 controller to the console again via Bluetooth.

Tip: This is how you can reset the PS5 controller to the factory settings and perform a reset within a few minutes.
