Issues like this are usually terminal. I would check to see if you're still covered under warranty/returns policy, if not you'll likely need a new controller. If you have a soldering iron you could consider dismantling the controller and resoldering any damaged/loose conntections, but that would volid your warranty and may cause other issues later.
Thanks for the reply :)
I paired my other controller to my computer and still doesn't work :(
Any other ideas?
My next focus would be firmware & drivers. Have they worked previously? What kind of drivers/software are you using for compatibility?
At least we know they both work fine.
I literally just started pc gaming today, and I'm going all by ear.
What info would you need?
I believe I downloaded software, and then I paried it via bluetooth.
When I plug it in, all it does is charge, unless I'm doing it wrong xD
Un-pair it, then use a USB DataSync cable; not a ChargeOnly cable
You're not doing it wrong, you're just missing a couple of puzzle pieces.
Dualshocks are great controllers, but they're not instantly compatible with your PC. You'll need a 'firmware' app to bridge the gap between Sony and Microsoft designs, thankfully there are a couple available and they're a snap to use & totally free.
This guide shows how to install & use one of the better ones, as well as a link to download it.
