Connecting a PlayStation 4 controller to a PC is most commonly done through Bluetooth. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Click the Start menu.
2. Type Bluetooth in the search field.
3. Click Bluetooth and other devices in the search results.
4. Toggle on the switch next to Bluetooth.
5. Press and hold both the Share and PS buttons on the PS4 controller to enter the pairing mode where the light blinks.
6. Click Add Bluetooth or other device.
7. Select the Bluetooth category.
8. Choose the option that says DualShock 4 controller.
9. Wait for the controller’s light bar to stop blinking and turn solid, indicating that it has successfully paired with the PC.

While connecting via Bluetooth is simple, it can sometimes lead to input lag and disconnections, especially during fast-paced video games that require quick reactions. To avoid such issues, there are other connection options available if your PC doesn’t have Bluetooth.
