  2. Select Access controller.  
  3. Select one of the following settings to customise it. 
Access Controller Set Up

Swap Controllers  

If you’re using two Access controllers, you can switch assigned profiles and controller names between them.

Display Button Toggle Status 

If you turn this on, your screen shows you which buttons are set on toggle mode, or pressed down continuously.

Toggle mode lets your button act like a caps lock key on a keyboard. By pressing the button once, it remains pressed down so you don't have to do it physically. Select which buttons you want to set from the button assignments screen.

From the home screen, select Settings  > Accessories  > Access Controller > Profile Library > Create Profile > Button Assignments.

Customise button assignments

Brightness of Controller Indicators 

Adjust the brightness of the controller indicator on your Access controller.

Edit Controller Name

You can give your Access controller a name or edit the name of a controller.

Reset Your Controller

When you reset your Access controller, any profiles assigned to slots on the controller are deleted. But your saved profiles remain on your PlayStation®5 console.
