FAQs

Q: What is the DualSense CFI‑ZCT1G controller?

It is the standard wireless controller for the PlayStation 5 (PS5) and has more sophisticated features than controllers from earlier generations, including motion sensing, adaptive triggers, sophisticated haptic feedback, and an integrated microphone and speaker, all of which are intended to provide a more responsive and immersive gaming experience.

Q: What platforms does it support?

Primarily PS5 consoles. As long as the game or system accepts conventional controller input, it is also compatible with PC, Mac, and some mobile or cloud gaming setups.

Q: How do I pair it with PS5 or another device for the first time?

Use the USB-C connector that comes with the PS5 to connect it to the console (or other device). After turning on the console and pressing the PS button, the light bar will blink and, once paired, the player indication will light up.

Q: How do I charge the controller?

Use a USB-C cable to connect it to the console, either in rest mode or on. The light bar blinks orange while it is charging, then it turns off when it is finished.

Q: Can I use it wired instead of wireless?

Yes, you can play with a wired controller by connecting the USB-C connector. This can be helpful if the battery is low or for a reliable connection.

Q: Which kinds of games benefit most from DualSense features?

Action, shooter, racing, simulation, and adventure games are examples of games with adaptable triggers and haptic feedback that enhance realism through trigger resistance and tactile input. The motion sensors are very helpful in VR or motion-controlled games.
