To connect your PS5 controller to a USB-C port, you first need a USB-C to USB-C cable (if your device supports it) or a USB-C to USB-A cable (with an adapter, if necessary). Power off your PS5 console, then connect one end of the cable to the controller and the other to your console's USB-C port. Press and hold the PS button on your controller. Once the lights on the controller start flashing, release the button. Your controller should then connect to your PS5, indicated by a steady light.
