Why do my ps3 controllers disconnect while i am playing?

Question

When i am playing a game, my controller disconnects and when i try to reconnect it, the 4 flashing lights keep blinking and it never connects. I've tried pressing the small button on the back but it still doesn't connect, this goes for my other controller too. I have one Dualshock 3 controller and one normal Sixaxis controller.

Answer 1

low battery?

Answer 2

There's been a number of issues reported by users about PS3 controllers losing their connection to the PS3 during use. Part of the problem is that the PS3 uses bluetooth for these connections, which isn't really suited for devices that are more than 3 or 4 feet away (much less the 6-10' that most people will have in their living room.)



There may also be some issues with the PS3 and/or controller design itself, no one knows for sure.



Meanwhile Sony jams its fingers into its ears and goes "lalalalala I can't hear you lalalalalala blu-ray is great lalalalalala"

Answer 3

How far are you away from your PS3? Bluetooth is good for connecting up to 10 meters (33 ft) away. Of course, the closer the better. If you do sit a fair distance from your PS3, I would recommend perhaps, sitting a bit closer.

Answer 4

the second guy is retarted siting closer ps3 controller can be played from a max of 75 feet away from the console and i doubt ur sitting farther. try charging them cuz the battery seems low, also u can charge them on ur ps3 or computer

Answer 5

There are longer USB charging cables for the PS3. I at present have a 10 foot cable and it quite works high quality. purely have been given your interior of sight ultimate purchase or different electronics save or verify on line.
