I need a cheap replacement charger cable for my PS4

Magic Pink

Any suggestions? I bought an Amazon brand one and it's way too small on the micro-usb end; nothing charges from it.

Is yours mini-usb or micro-usb? PS4 controller has a micro-usb port I think.

It is MicroUSB on the PS4 controller. Pretty much any electronic device with a battery you've purchased that's not an iPhone in the last 5 years will have come with one of those cables. Any of them should work.

I know. And I don't have any others thus the thread.

sorry, wasn't aware there was a difference! mini-usb brings the right thing up on amazon anyway

Wirecutter recommends the Anker PowerLine USB cables: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-micro-usb-cable/ I just bought the multipack of these to have some around at different lengths.

I got two 15 foot long cables for my PS3 controllers from monoprice for about a buck each and they're still going strong years later.

If you ever need a cable for anything, monoprice cannot be beaten.

I ordered these several months ago and use one of the cable specifically to charge my PS4 controller. Plus it's 10' for charging while playing and it has a threaded cable so tangles aren't thing.

i reaaallly like my controller stand, if you have the space for it. I always know where my fucking controllers are because theyre sitting there happily charging away

Sorry for the bad rec. Reading some recent reviews it looks like those Amazon cables charge at a low rate. In the future I'd suggest something by Anker.

I have one of these for both my PS3 and 4, and I vastly prefer it to cables for charging.

The charge rate isn't the problem, it's the fact they don't stay connected when they're plugged in. The ends are a hair too small and they're worthless.
