Ps4 controller keeps disconnecting right after it connects.
i have my controller wirelessly connected through bluetooth adapter. it will connect to steam for 2 seconds then disconnect. idk what to do. i do have a cord to use to play for now but i heard you get less input lag if you use bluetooth.

Here is an icloud link to the video i took on my phone of it disconnecting a few times. im not too tech savvy so go easy on me.

Test how it goes with PlayStation Configuration Support disabled.
If the problem persists, quit Steam then turn on the controller, see if it remains connected.

OK, next thing to try: remove the controller's BT pairing, put the controller into pairing mode then pair it again.


I think you got it but here're the steps if you're on Windows (I don't recognise the taskbar icons - Win 11 stuff?)
Access the bluetooth device list: press Windows key + i, then choose Devices
For any entry of Wireless Controller, click it, then Remove Device
Stick the controller into pairing mode: hold Share button + PS button till it flashes
Click 'Add Bluetooth or other device'
Select your controller

Connecting now?
If it's not, in the bluetooth device list, under which heading do you see Wireless Controller? It should be under Mouse, keyboard & pen.
