What is it you see on the screen of the console?

If it is asking you to press the PS button, that is usually mapped to a soft sip on the center hole. The PS5 will not recognize a controller until that button is pressed.

Does it recognize button presses but not the joystick?

You can plug the Quadstick into the FGC2 and the FGC2 into a PC and go to https://test.quadstick.com to verify the FGC2 is responding to the Quadstick. It will show up as an XBox controller to the PC.

OK, I had someone manually turn on ps5 and then I moved my mouthpiece left and right to see if it moved on the screen and nothing happened. So I need to do a soft sIp on the center hole to activate the ps5 button and then it should work.
