Without CONSOLE Or PC – How To Reset PS5 Controller
So before we get started you need to know a couple of things, the images we’ll use here might not look exactly like your controller. There’s different kinds of controllers out there aesthetic-design wise but all of the official PS5 controllers have the same reset button. You’ll also need either a toothpick or a needle, or something that’s long and thin.
You don’t need to turn off your controller, all you need to do is look at the back of it and find the small circular hole where you’ll then need to insert a toothpick or needle to press a button inside. Keep it pressed for 10 seconds before releasing.
This should reset the device and if you’re having trouble connecting it back wirelessly, you can connect it via a USB cable to let your console know that there’s a controller.
