PowerA - USB Charge Cable for PlayStation 4 - Black

First up I too thought this USB charger cable for PlayStation 4 was made by Sony. It isn't but if you ignore the misleading title description & read further down you see the item is an Officially Licensed Sony product. Also the pictures online are from an earlier Power A model that's probably been discontinued. The older model looked better. What you will receive is a pretty basic black 6.5" USB charging cable in a cheap blue box. There are No Gold Connectors so right away I was let down. The older model also seemed to have an added sleeve on one side of the cable which is gone now too. Overall I decided to return these. As an aside to add insult to injury I had ordered two of these on a Tuesday for $9.99 ea. only to see them go on sale a day later for less. So not only did I not get a Sony cable but I got a cheaper version for full price lol. Anyway I'm posting New Pictures of the item you will receive if ordering these PS4 charger cables. Enjoy!

To be clear, this 1 is for Best Buy, not PowerA. But to some extent Sony. There is a certain type of micro USB required to sync the controller with a ps4 or PC. It's not a standard cable. The last one I bought just didn't work. You can only get an official one with a ps4 system, or so I thought. So when I saw this I was ecstatic. The listing says Sony, I did not think to zoom in on the image to see the small PowerA logo. That image is not even the same box I received (attaching my own image, showing logo at the bottom). That said, this did sync with the ps4 using an older model controller (after hitting the reset button with a paper clip!). And it seems to be more physically stable on the controller connection than the official one. But I will run more tests before buying another... and it won't be from Best Buy.

We used it to resuscitate both Granma and a hamster. Highly recommended

I had to get PS4 charger cable specially because a lot of micro USB cables don't charge the controllers for whatever reason and I was tired of going through all of mine.

Long enough to play while you charge. Hopefully, you're responsible enough and keep your controller charged, however, sometimes you just die while being shot at and there is nothing you can do.

I know when it comes to branded merchandise in general I usually prefer to get the same name brand as the item it’s used for. Since Sony doesn’t sell a branded cable this one is the best quality I can find also it’s officially licensed which means it’s suppose to work well and it has. I highly recommend it

My sons lost or broke my original. So I had to buy this one to connect my controller it wouldn’t work with anything else. Now they can’t touch it.

Amazing charger!! The price is perfect. Fits my ps4 chargers, has no issue of fitting like the previous chargers I purchased from GameStop.
