Hi dennis2e,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you're trying to connect your PS4 controller to your MacBook Pro. Only certain controllers are supported.


"Supported PlayStation controllers

  • PlayStation DualShock 4 Wireless Controller
  • PlayStation 5 DualSense Wireless Controller


Pair and connect the controller

  1. Make sure that your controller is turned off.
  2. Press and hold the PS and Share buttons at the same time until the light bar begins to flash. The controller is now in pairing mode, which makes it discoverable by your Apple device.
  3. Open Bluetooth settings on your Apple device, then select the controller from the list of nearby devices.

4. DualShock 4 Wireless Controller: If the controller pairs but doesn't connect, press the PS button on the controller."
