Find out how to set up your PlayStation®VR2 on a Windows PC.

How to pair your PS VR2 Sense controllers with your PC
If it's your first time using your PS VR2 Sense controller on your PC, you need to pair it using Bluetooth®. If USB cables are connected to your controllers, disconnect them. Make sure to charge both the left and right controllers before pairing.
- Turn on Bluetooth® on your PC.
- On the left and right controllers, simultaneously press and hold the buttons described below until the respective status indicators (D) start to blink.
Left controller: PS button (C) and create button (A)
Right controller: PS button (C) and options button (B)
- Open your PC's Bluetooth® settings and select the option to add Bluetooth® devices.
Your PC detects nearby Bluetooth® devices. - Select your controllers from the list of detected devices to complete the pairing process.
You need to pair both controllers individually.
- Make sure to pair the controllers while their status indicators are blinking. If a controller's status indicator stops blinking before you're able to pair it, repeat steps 2 through 4 for that controller.
- You can check your controllers' battery level in the SteamVR™ dashboard by pressing the PS button on your PS VR2 Sense controller.
- If you’re having trouble pairing your controllers while using a Bluetooth® adapter, visit the link below.
- Use a DisplayPort™ 1.4 cable (sold separately) (D) to connect your PC adapter (B) to your PC's DisplayPort™ port (C).
- Connect the supplied AC power cord (H) to the supplied AC adapter (G). Then, connect the AC adapter to the DC IN connector (F) on your PC adapter. Make all connections before plugging the AC power cord into an electrical outlet (I). Once you plug in your PC adapter, it turns on and its status indicator (E) will turn solid red.
- Connect your VR headset (included with PS VR2) (M) to your PC adapter's USB Type-C® port (L) and press the power button on your VR headset (J) to turn it on.
Your PC adapter's status indicator (E) and VR headset's power indicator (K) turn solid white.
