They do charge. I've tried resetting the controllers, restarting the PS5, but no dice. Hold down the share button and the PS button until the light bar flashes white. This is the controller in pairing mode. You should be able to pair it now. Ah excellent, that did the trick for the Dualshock.
I bought one from Aliexpress, it is really bad but it works. Don't use for fighting games or you will get blister in you fingers , i learned that the bad way🤣. I got that cheap one so my original controller could last longer.
Just click on the DS4Windows.zip file in the Downloads section, and save it to your PC. Double-click the compressed file and extract the two programs: DS4Updater and DS4Windows. Now double-click
