I didn't even know you can charge them with a USB table

Is there a cheaper and better controller？

Well I'm one of those lucky persons too I guess! I've had it for 6 years just like you and never had a problem, still using the same cable and my controller works perfectly! 😄😎🔥

Has had the same ps4 controler and cable for 9 years never a problem.

Probably a bit of both lol

Mee too. Ive handled my consoles and controllers very well

Welp I wasn't so lucky. I had to buy a charger luckily the same one as in this video 😅

you lyin, or u just didn't played with it for more than 5 years

@@Ben_diez I play my PS4 daily and I'm still using my original USB charging cable as well. The plastic tubing around the wire at the small end is frayed to hell from constant bending but it still charges fine. Just because yours broke doesn't mean everyone's did.

i have mine for like 4 years and i only had to replace it 3 times

Yup. In fact, I'm using the same cable that came with my controller, and a bought a second controller. Both controller still work great, same cord works and looks like new. Guess I just take care of my stuff. And I play my ps4 almost daily since 2015 when I got it.

@@sam_i_am1747 same

Honestly the best 30€ I spent in recent times, my controller is always fully charged without using cables, plus it looks cute next to the ps5

I can't believe people are this stupid. It's called plug in a USB cable into the WALL near wherever you're sitting. Why would you sit next to the console? Or at least not just buy a longer USB cable if you're gonna use the snail-paced port of the PS4 to charge for whatever reason. Please God save us all.

Am I the only one who prefers to be able to actually USE the controller while it's charging? Tf

@@Brandon-bc5um people get 2 controllers so they don't have to play with the one that's charging, or at least I do that

@@Brandon-bc5um As someone who uses these, I leave them charging overnight and then take one out when I get on my ps4, if it looses battery I switch to the other, the dualshock 4s have good battery life so you shouldnt need more than 2 in a 24 hour period

But now you can't play whilst charging

why not to ps4 hif have a polblem to kontroller

That sounds like a battery issue. If it goes off randomly with full charge.

This may be a long-shot, but check the power saving settings on your console. By default, I think the controller is set to turn itself off if it's not being used after a certain time. Perhaps check those settings. If that's not the case, and the controller's outside of its warranty period, try replacing the battery. Cheap batteries can be bought on eBay and there's many useful videos (including ones from John), that show how to replace them.

@@Rob.Hinkley Thanks for the tip, I will definitely look into that and see what I can find:)

@Eli Productions Barca in Europa League, losers

No, We all knew about this 7-8 years ago. It just we didn't care because we had the normal way to charge it. Like why spent almost a hundred dollars to charge your controllers? why? because it looks cool to have that device? nah fam, i have my old style cable, thanks anyway. However, what we didn't know was how fast and easy these cables get fuck and u need to replace them. Paying from 10-15 $ (depending where u live and where u buy it) every couple of time in a year. So yeah, we know about the device. We have been seeing it since the Ps4-Pro days as it was market with the console version. So yeah, i think the most important information here is the flaw on the USB cable tho. I always thought it was my fault for not taking care of my shit but i didn't know that even if i took care of it, it would still degrade to the point where it wouldn't charge anymore.

@@brandonzero07 almost a hundred dollars? What shit are you smoking? The official sony charging stands are like $25.... and these stands have existed since the ps3...

@@Azhrei2000 my guy, these shit were promoted when the PS4-Pro came out and they were almost a hundred worth. If u saw this on another place, don't come towards me. But i know for a fact that the stands were advertised around that price and at the time when the PS4-Pro came out. Idk when u saw this with the PS3 when the controller doesn't even have the other the thing to connect. Now, if u are talking about the old school stand that came out around the Ps2 days, those aren't the ones that were shown in this video. We are talking about to an alternative to the USB Charger. The PS2 nor the PS3 had an alternative charged connection so idk what YOU are smoking tho.

Lol how have you never seen controller docks before? Not sure good question.

I just got the magnetic universal chargers and leave the head in the controller and just attaching the magnetic cord to it. Easy peasy

​@@Rob.Hinkley i already knew that it's a scam

Actually on Xbox controllers you can get a battery pack + dock combo and the dock connects to the battery itself and not the controller

@@Sharkcomet Yep my bad. But it's still not built into the controller so the official ones don't do that.

@skystrike what?

@skystrike how is it a scam? It’s just saying that they like it and have been using it for a while.

that was sarcasm right? kinda like this video lol...

The EXT is an extension data/charging port. On my controller, Dual shock 4, I use it in the charging stand, but I also have a keyboard attachment that fits between the handles and plugs into the audio jack and the EXT port .. the audio passes through to an audio port on the bottom of the keyboard, and ext keyboard uses the EXT. You have to get the PS4 to recognize the keyboard as an accessory, but after that, any time you type, or send text message in or out of game, you simply type it in. Another bonus is if you don't use the keyboard, it works as an expanded battery pack and has it's own micro-USB charging port and you can charge the Dual shock battery and the keyboard at the same time. There are also battery packs that fit between the handles with audio throughout jacks and use the EXT to power the controller, tripping or quadrupling the play time of the controller, usually allowing you to charge every 2-3 days, however the best way to charge the controller itself to give the longest battery life is to use the charging dock, as most docks can cycle the battery and reset the charge memory of the battery, ensuring you get years of full battery life compared to a memory logged battery that won't charge from Micro-USB cables. A charging dock is the best way to go, and if you can find it, the official charging dock from Sony for the controller is the best you can get for the battery, but aftermarkets will do just as well. So despite problems with Micro-USB and USB-C cable connectors going bad because you shove it' in at an angle instead of straight in... A dock doesn't just save cable/port wear and tear, it also extends the life of the battery considerably because it cycles the battery and removes the charge memory of the battery.. (charge memory happens to rechargable batteries over time where the cell reports full when it is only 70% or 60% or 50% charged.. people think the battery is going out.. a dock will determine the actual battery charge level, and if it isn't 90-100%, the charger will drain the battery and do a conditioned trickle charge which resets the charge memory of the battery, this is automatic.. this cycling works until the actual battery is dead from the cell decay.. but on the Dualshick 4 battery, mine is a Day 1 controller with no battery replacement, and it is still gaming @9 hours a session with it being over 8 years old.. My DualSense is still gaming at Day 1 time frame, 12-14 hours with full haptics per game session. The charging docks are well worth the investment over the usb charging cable.

@@crypticvyper3092 omg thx

@@say-ef NP, also there is a Dualshock 4 back button attachment from Sony that plugs into the EXT port as well if you want to remap buttons to the back of the controller for middle fingers.

@@crypticvyper3092 Ohh nice. thx appreciate it 👍 😎

What is helpful about this at all? No one has this issue. Theres a 100% likelihood your controller will get stick drift before you ever "break the USB port" or w.e. he's trying to claim here.

@brandon I have had to send in my ps5 for repair because my usb thing broke because of the cables.

@Brandon I had to send in my ps5 for repair because of the usb wear. I might buy a charging station. Anyway you are wrong, and it happens to many people.

Useful LOL. Just about everyone should know about this!

@@stormydeath8121 happens to dumb dumbs that don't take proper care of their systems

Also, a lot of charging stations come with an USB plug with no wall adapter whatsoever. You should check under the device if there's any label indicating the recommended energy input if you don't want it to be damaged after some time. Most of the stations have inputs of 5 volts 2 amps. An old phone wall charger will do the trick nicely.

Yeah, this is a dumb video. So you can charge with a dock... that doesn't make it superior or inferior to plugging it in. Micro USB isn't that fragile at all, unless you're a doofus who just constantly yanks on things and crams plugs in the wrong way.

@@spork8655 Actually, John makes a valid point. Not only is charging via USB slower, particularly with micro/mini USB, the ports can become distorted and bent out of shape no matter how careful you may be when plugging in or removing a cable from it. Not an issue with PS5's dual-sense thanks to USB-C. It's also inconvenient using USB, and it stresses the battery. They only have so many charge cycles, so if you're just topping them up slowly with a cable, you're limiting the lifetime of your battery. The official Sony (and some 3rd Party) docks, actually have an AC cable to power the dock, which not only frees up your console's ports, but also charges the controller quicker, and safer, as they provide overcharging protection.

@@Rob.Hinkley I think the big thing is there's no statistical data on how many people experience cables going bad so any statements on the subject are purely conjecture from a relatively small sample size complaining on message boards. Personally I'm still using an original USB charging cable years later so they don't all wear out and break down.

@@brentchesson2179 I wholeheartedly agree. It's not the cable that breaks down so much as the port on the controller itself becoming bent out of shape after years of use. While it was more of a problem on the PS3's DS3 Controllers, it still happens on the PS4 DS4's. If you're constantly plugging and disconnecting the cable, wiggling it about, it may damage the port over time. It depends on how careful you are with it. That being said, you're less likely to damage the DS4 by using the EXT port to charge it. And, by using an AC powered dock, not only do you free up the USB's on your console, but you can give your controllers a full quick charge without needing the console on or in rest mode. It's just better for your console and the controller (namely the port and battery).

Me too

Same, but charging dock is much better and console looks cleaner when there's no cables hanging. Also if you share the console with someone, both of you have always charged controllers. My Ps4 doesn't even have available USB ports, because i have headset dongle and extended memory connected, so charging station was the only option for my 2 controllers.

@@trumpjongun8831 just an extra expense

@@trumpjongun8831 You're right about that, but I don't want to spend money on a charging dock while I have no problem charging my controller by USB wire since 2015.

@@trumpjongun8831 usb hubs work you know... at least for thumb drives to save data and charge controllers. External drive has to be directly plugged in.

Lmao same ive had the same controller for 7 years now no issues

I had the exact same reaction, like, wtf, I NEVER had or saw anyone I know to have a problem with a micro USB cable in a daily bases, for sure it may get a problem with years of usage, but I never saw people talk like it happened regularly, I mean, we do connect a micro USB cable in our cellphones regularly, why wouldn't that be a problem too?
