Try resetting your PS4 controller. There's a small reset button on the back, near the L2 shoulder button. Press it with a pin and then reconnect.

First things first, make sure your controller is charged. Mine fooled me once, and I was just dealing with a dead battery!

Check your USB cable. Sometimes, the culprit is just a faulty or non-compatible cable. Swap it out and see if that does the trick.

Make sure there aren't other devices interfering. Wireless signals can sometimes mess things up, especially if you have a lot of tech around.

Boot the PS4 in Safe Mode and re-pair the controller. Turn off the PS4, hold the power button until you hear the second beep, and then connect the controller via USB.
