01 / OPERATION & SAFETY
EVERYTHING YOU
NEED TO KNOW.
Choose a chapter or follow the guide step by step. Safety instructions always take priority over gameplay and setup tips.
01 QUICK START Pair, turn on and play
- Turn on your PS5.
- Connect the controller directly to the console with a USB-C data cable.
- Press the PS button. After the light bar flashes, the player indicator confirms connection.
- Update PS5 system software and controller device software to the latest versions.
02 SAFETY Battery, magnets, wireless and health
Stop using immediately if the controller becomes unusually hot, leaks liquid or produces unusual sounds or smells. Disconnect all cables and contact support.
- Do not touch damaged or leaking lithium-ion batteries.
- Magnets and radio waves can affect medical devices. Consult your doctor or the device manufacturer.
- Keep the product and small parts out of reach of young children.
- Stop using if you experience pain, dizziness, nausea or discomfort; seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
- Do not use headsets at high volume for long periods.
- Do not look directly at a flashing light bar.
03 CHARGING & BATTERY Use the correct power source
Connect the controller via USB-C to a PS5 that is on or in rest mode. The light bar slowly flashes orange while charging and turns off when fully charged.
- Use only a PS5, PC or suitable PS5 charging station.
- Recommended input: 5 V ⎓ 1,500 mA.
- Do not use arbitrary smartphone power adapters.
- Preferably charge between 10 °C and 30 °C.
- Fully charge at least once a year if unused for long periods.
If the controller does not charge, first check the USB data cable, USB port and PS5 rest-mode power supply setting.
04 FIRMWARE PS5 and Windows PC
Keep controller software up to date. Follow the update prompt on PS5. On Windows, use the official firmware updater for DualSense wireless controllers.
Before updating, charge sufficiently, connect directly with a USB data cable and do not disconnect during the process.
05 ROCKET FEATURES Paddles, triggers, gears and LED
Paddles: Use your model’s remapping sequence and check the assignment in-game afterwards.
Switch Trigger: In short 1 mm mode, we recommend disabling the adaptive trigger effect in PS5 settings.
Force Gears: When changing a stick cap, press the base firmly down with your thumb so it stays securely fixed.
LED: Make changes only using the button combination specified for your model.
06 TMR & HALL STICKS Recommended deadzone values
For games such as Call of Duty, we recommend starting with:
- Minimum left and right stick deadzone: not below 2.
- Maximum left and right stick deadzone: not above 95, so full travel is detected reliably.
The optimal setting depends on the game, platform and your preferred aiming feel. Test sticks independently of the game before starting calibration.
07 CARE & STORAGE Clean, dry and protected
- Clean with a soft, dry cloth.
- Do not use solvents, chemicals, insecticides or treated cleaning wipes.
- Keep liquids and foreign objects out of openings.
- Protect from direct sun, high temperatures, moisture, smoke and steam.
- Do not throw, drop, open or modify it yourself.
- Carefully remove dust from connectors with a dry cloth before connecting.
08 RESOLVE ISSUES QUICKLY Connection, charging and stick values
No connection: Connect directly with a USB data cable, press the PS button and restart console and controller if needed.
Not charging: Try another suitable USB-C data cable and USB port; check rest-mode power supply.
Stick deviation: Test outside the game first, then check game deadzone. Calibrate only for reproducible deviations.
Issue persists: Use the Rocket service portal and have your order number, model and a brief error description ready.
