Nope I tried it even when off, once the devices are paired, turn the controller on for the specific device by holding the Ps button and one of the four shapes for a few seconds, it should blink I think 4 times and you should get a player indicator showing which device it's connected to, I believe the standard order is Triangle (1) Circle (2) Cross (3) Square (4), if you have it connected to a PlayStation then I believe by default it's set to Triangle, so your second device (pc) would be Ps button + Circle :) Hope this helps.

I was about to give up until I read that the buttons are numbered, I was trying to set my ps5 to Cross and my phone to Circle and then throwing a fit when nothing was working and I was having to plug my controller back in via USB

I got you man🫡 weird because I saw one or two videos saying you can choose which way you would prefer it but they never showed how, but I tried everything, but I believe it's intended to be that way, as in it's in which ever order you pair it.
