PS4 / PS5 Controller

PS4 with Micro USB cable Setup:

*** Please ensure that your computer is fully up to date with the latest drivers including controller drivers.  

***If you don’t already have one, you'll need a micro USB cable to connect to the computer, or your computer will need to be Bluetooth capable. If your computer is not Bluetooth capable, you can purchase a Wireless Bluetooth adapter. Click Here. 

 ** Feel free to search online for other options. The above link is just one suggestion of many available on the market.

NOTE: A micro USB cable can be found at numerous online retailers as well as local electronic retailers.

The PS4 and PS5 controllers for the most part are fairly plug and play, however you may need to adjust some settings to help the controller work properly. So first follow the instructions on the following link.

• Make sure your computer recognizes it. For PC Check in your “devices and printers” screen to be sure it's connected.
• For Mac users .. click on the “Apple symbol”> about this Mac>System Report> USB and make sure it shows “wireless controller”.  
• On PC If you don't see your controller you may need a third party driver. We’ve included a link below.
• Launch the game, you should see “wireless controller” on the bottom right of the screen.
• Click on “settings”>  “CONTROLLER SETUP”> "QUICK CALIBRATION" and go through the on screen instructions slowly and precisely.
• When you get to the screen to setup the reset and restart switches, use the right and left bumper rather than the triggers since these seem to work better. Now you’re free to fly

You may need a driver to make your controller work with your PC, See link below.
