Simply plug your controller in with a USB-C cable and begin playing games.

There aren’t any particular benefits to performance, but it’ll at least save your controller battery from draining over hours of use – and you don’t need to connect via the Bluetooth menu either. While most gamers will opt to connect the DualSense controller to a Mac via Bluetooth, you do have the option of connecting it via USB-C to USB-A on older Macs or USB-C to USB-C for Thunderbolt 3-enabled machines. It’s worth noting that if you want to use the DualSense controller with your PS5, you’ll have to turn the console on and connect the controller via USB-C cable to re-establish the connection.

On your DualSense controller, hold the PS button and Share button (top-left) until the LED around the trackpad flashes.
