Because I don’t think the PS5 is expecting to get a bluetooth signal from a USB port. The USB cable is irrelevant- I don’t think you could connect to a bluetooth dongle you plugged directly into the PS5, either.
If someone has a bluetooth dongle that’s compatible with a PS5(does that even exist?) they could test it, though, and we could know for sure. There’s no reason the USB cable would mess with anything afaik.

2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
I’m pretty sure that won’t work, no. You could run a long USB cable and just plug the controller directly into it, though.
Yep. Already doing that, but going back to wireless would be nice. Oh well.
Why would it work? As long as the USB dongle gets enough power and the USB signal isn’t degraded, it will work just fine no?

Oh my bad, for some reason I thought he was asking for PC.
