PS5 controller disconnecting and won't reconnect

[Karp]

Today I started the game only to have my controller dying after a few minutes and it won't reconnect no matter how many times I've plugged/unplugged the cable. Weirdly, after quitting the game, it turns on instantly. I've tried using and not using playstation controller configuration support and it didn't make a difference. Any suggestions?

If you're playing with a cable the dual sense (aswell as ds4) have TERRIBLE connectors, like literally chinese garbage connectors. If you use the controller for over 3 months it's probably giving up on life.

If you use bluetooth then it's just windows. and in that case i would sugest the ds4 wireless adapter. it works with dual sense aswell and is better than bluetooth.

Also btw the controllers sold speratly (at least the black one) seems to have a sturdier usb port, the sticks also don't have that garbage rubber they put on the one that comes with the console.

done with my rant :D

We damn, and I just bought a new MicroSD thinking it was the garbo wire. My issue isn't as bad as OP's, but I've been getting brief moments where the controller would unplug and replug.

I like to know more about that. What blutooth controller are you using?

DS4 model CUH-ZCT2U. The golden controller. I'm not using bluetooth, I have it directly hooked up by microUSB to not worry about battery, but light tugs and shifts interrupts the connection.

reread my message :D ds4 and dual sense are just ruining cables because of their terrible port design

You might be right about that. Unfortunately there are several of those on the market - hard to tell for normal customers, but obviously they are bad when putting them into comparison.

There is a saying over here which goes like "who buys cheap, buys twice" ~

I read it properly. That's why I initially said.

"We damn, and I just bought a new MicroSD thinking it was the garbo wire. My issue isn't as bad as OP's, but I've been getting brief moments where the controller would unplug and replug."

That was me thinking it might have actually been the controller rather than the wire.
