p5genral not workin
« on: November 20, 2025, 11:01:20 PM »
p5genral isn?t working on the new firmware. I tested it on all three of my ReaSnows on PS5 and tried every port, but it still doesn?t work. I?m only getting three beeps with no LED color code the LED stays blank.
tried it on xim matrix and its working just plug and play :'(

Thanks both of you for the replies!

Just wanted to update you ? the issue is actually with the latest firmware V5.6.251.
It?s not working with any keyboard in analog mode. I tested multiple ones (Wooting 60HE, Turtle Beach Vulcan TKL Pro, Keychron K2 HE, and even the Sony Nav). The moment you move the analog bind, the device gives 3 beeps with no LED indication.

I downgraded the firmware to V5.6.241, and now everything works perfectly again.

Looks like the beta firmware needs a fix.

Could you record a video demonstrating the issue? No one else has reported this problem so far.

Hi,
When I plug my controller into ReaSnow, I can see inputs in the ReaSnow app, but it doesn?t work on my PS5.

I?m using PS5 General.

Which ports should I use on ReaSnow for:
   1.   Controller
   2.   p5 general

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, have same issue.

If update S1 to 251 firmware, I have only 3 beebs without LED lights with any device: PC, PS5...

I've tried to use 5.7.2/5.7.3 versions - same result.

When I return 241 - it works good, but doesn't support P5General.

The GPT suggested that the issue was due to an early revision of the Reasnow S1. Is it true?

I have 214-105090 on back side of Reasnow

It would be best if you could record a video to demonstrate the issue for us. In theory, when used with the P5 General, the firmware version 5.6.251 should not exhibit the compatibility issues you've described.

I've seen the video you uploaded. In the video, some of your steps are incorrect. Here's what you need to do:
1. On your PC, update the ReaSnow S1 firmware to version 5.6.251 (DO NOT set the boot mode!).
2. Follow the tutorial for wiring: connect the ReaSnow S1 to the USB port on the rear of your PS5 Pro, and connect the P5General to the USB1 port on the S1.
3. At this point, the lights should illuminate normally and the device should boot up. If the S1 indicator light is faintly flickering (visible in a dark room), this indicates your PS5 Pro belongs to the latest production batch. Its USB port outputs a voltage significantly higher than the USB IF design specification, triggering the S1's overvoltage protection. You need to purchase a USB hub with an external power supply port. Connect the USB hub to the PS5 Pro's USB port, connect the S1 to the USB hub, and then connect the power supply to the USB hub's external power port (using a charger with a 5V 1A or higher current output specification).

Hi! I tried all the recommendations except using a hub with an external power supply, but nothing changed.

Some questions with your points:
1. I mean Auto mode?
3. Why 5.6.241 version have no issues with voltage?

Yes, I?m experiencing the exact same issue, as I mentioned before. Thanks nowdays for uploading the video. I?ve tried everything, but nothing works. Even if it works for a minute, as soon as you move the analog stick on the Azeron or Wooting in analog gamepad mode, the device immediately disconnects with a blue light and three beeps.

Yes, I also tried using a powered USB hub. The only time it works properly is when downgrading to firmware 241 and playing on Xbox or PC.

I eventually gave up and switched to the XIM Matrix. Personally, I prefer ReaSnow over Matrix, but releasing multiple firmware updates without proper testing is damaging the device.
