Picking this up in 2020. Got a PS4 pro in 2016, wish I got one of these earlier and wish these were around longer as it's harder to find the Sony version. DualShock 4 still going to be a great controller into the future.
The station is a must have if you use a usb headset, the battery life of dualshock 4's is pretty bad compared to the 3's and its smart to have multiple controllers if you plah a lot.
were did you Buy the product im looking all over for it the ones i see are not by sony i live in canada producs in the states wont alow me to buy on amazon unless its amazon.ca
I would think it would be okay to leave on it i dont think it would over heat or over charge but you can always just take it off and let it sit the battery should not fade
Thanks for the quick response, I ordered the product before watching your video and realised that this was made with the first ps4 and dualshock 4 controlers. And I read somewhere that they changed the battery on v2 version. Thanks again!
I got one today and I noticed something about it that I did not expect So first off all I would have expected the 8 plug to be on the back of the unit and not include a little power brick until I noticed that the little power brick looked familiar ... it's in fact just a PSP Charger ... and just so you know it works just fine on a PSP
Do you have to disconnect it when not in use? What if you just wanna leave the controllers in in the docking station so they won't be laying around? Do they just stay charging if the docking station is plugged? Or do they turn off once they're fully charged?
Geekanoids so even tho the usb connection doesnt work it wont chrage y using the bottem part? because someone else commented saying it worked and i want to e sure before i buy one
Gene Sipaia the Sony charging station doesn't charge through the micro USB port but the "ext" port. I just bought mine and it works well if micro usb port is broken.
Nice video man, actually looks pretty nice! I was a bit iffy on this but not anymore. I have a little station where I charge my 3ds, phone and wii u controller, now my dual shock 4's can finally have a home there too! Previously had to leave my ps4 on stand by when I would really prefer not to, not to mention having them floating all over the room with dangly cables and using up my USB ports. Good job Sony
Where can I find an unboxing, and review of the Innogear Dual Port Charger Charging Station for the Xbox One, and how many hours of gameplay can you get with the Dream Gear Dual Charging Dock for the Xbox One.
Nice video, thanks Dave. I've got one of these on back order and just swapping my two controllers over on USB cable to charge them from the PS4 on standby.
Wait is there a cable I could plug in the bottom and charge it? What’s it called if there is one because the USB port isn’t work and I’m not sure I want to spend $65
I recently bought this one for my ps3 and can't quite figure out the wireless thing. The guy at the electronic store said most usb cables will work for it but anyone can recommend a certain brand or something? Much appreciated.
So if i get the charging station where will i plug in those wires u showed at the beginning. is it battery powered or do i plug the charging station into the actual ps4
I recently got this charging dock secondhand and noticed after a while the light on the remote switches off. Does that mean that the remote is fully charged or is it that the remote isn’t charging? When when I plug in the remote, the orange light comes on and then switches off. So I just assume that it’s fully charged or is it broken😂
Hi one question, when the DS4 is fully charged, can i take it on the station without any kind of problems, or i must take it out of the charging station?
You can leave it on the dock and not face any immediate problems. But the thing is if a battery is charged longer than it needs to be the battery life decreases over time.
I got myne 1 year ago and i went to use it like i do every day and i smelt smoke couldnt charge none of my controllers so i decided to open it up and i found out its burnt itself ??????????
Great video- need to get one of these. I have the official Sony charger for the PS3 and they seem to charge the controllers quicker and more fully than simply using a USB cable. The added weight of the base on the PS3 controller and the PS4 charger is also very nice.
Hi I'm from America and I was wondering if the Figure 8 Plug from the Playstation 4 would plug into this plug?? I ask because in America we have not received this Official PS4 Charging Stand, I would like to import it and just buy another PS4 2 Prong AC power cord in place of a UK/Japan/Asia power cord that comes in it ... Thanks !!!!
Just got Ps4 and I'd like to know,do i charge from dead when its orange or blue cause I've read online that it says the light will turn off when its done but i let it charge for almost 4 hours and nothing,thogh it was fully charged
Thanks for everything Geekanoids cause ps4 pro is my birthday present and I was gonna buy it with the console and you know I was finding out how to do it xxxxxxxxxxx TmPzZ PlaYzZ
if you have the official PS4 Dualshock 4 Wireless Controller Action Grips on your controllers, this charging dock will not work. And those are some of the best grips on market, so keep that in mind
When you say they break, are you referring to them just not charging, or the clicking mechanism that holds the mount down so the controller will charge breaks.. I'm just trying to troubleshoot, because that's a problem I'm having now. The mounts wont stay clicked down.
This actually works if your USB connection for the controller doesn't work, so thanks to this I saved money instead of buying a new controller
Nice one :D
Miguel Romero same
Miguel Romero thanks bro now I know
My USB port on top has stopped working. If I buy this will my remote charge?
Ryan O'Donnell it will man, it will use the headphone input to charge ...not even the guys at Best Buy knew this when i asked them if it was possible
ohh... so thats what the EXT port is for.
Dogku its for a chat pad type device but you can also charge it with this
Ethan Perdue
yup XD
And for chat pads and other stuff it's just an accessory port basically
Yeah I never new what the purpose was for that port
Wow this person knows how to unbox a package with out tearing it props
:D:D:D
Exactlyy
Geekanoids hôw mûčh ït čöšt
Never had a jewelshock 4 controller Before
They are awesome, thanks for watching.
@@geekanoids wow u got reckt
😭😭😭
Is this Michael Caine umboxing a Playstation product ?
Daan MZ Yes, not a lot of people know that :D
Dude your accent is amazing!
+Ricky Wright His accent so suck so bad! Eww!
AbildGamesXD So does your grammar.
Really cool device, not only to charge your controller but to store them as well. Great review Dave.

🤓🤓🤓👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
i was waiting for some british curse words when he couldnt allign
Almost ;D
Thanks for illustrating how inconvenient it is to plug them in, you just saved me 30 euros!
+Jim P :D
+Geekanoids Just wanted to write the same. Thank You for saving me 1340 rubles :-D Bought oivo charger on Ali :)
I just got this and I couldn't believe how easy they slide into the connector. I have no idea why the reviewer was having trouble with it.
i dont know what he is doing wrong here..its soo simple to connect..
It's actually very easy to connect.
The station is a must have if you use a usb headset, the battery life of dualshock 4's is pretty bad compared to the 3's and its smart to have multiple controllers if you plah a lot.
Yh the ps3 controllers lasted longer but I think it's the light on the ps4 taking all the battery life cause there's no way of turning it off
is it possible to speed up the charge by putting it in the charging station and charging it by a microusb cable?
Why?
John Michael why 😂
thats the most genious idea ive ever heard
John Michael What other people are tryin to say is: No you can't..
And please live long and happy 😊
It takes a little bit of practise to get familiar with where to line up the ports, had this thing for years now and I can do it without looking.
Very true :D
Does the controller automatically shut off when you plug it into this?
Can we charge a controller while we play whit a other one or we have too charge the 2 controllers at the same time?
Yes, you can do that.
Geekanoids i can charge one at the time?
Unknown Gamer Yes! You can charge one and still play with a other one.
Isn't that great?
Life can be so wonderful 😋
Years later
So many now different chargers just hard to find a good one that lasts more then 6 months
I am lucky, this is still working.
@@geekanoids how is it going now?
were did you Buy the product im looking all over for it the ones i see are not by sony i live in canada producs in the states wont alow me to buy on amazon unless its amazon.ca
does this have auto cut off once it's fully charge??
I would think it would be okay to leave on it i dont think it would over heat or over charge but you can always just take it off and let it sit the battery should not fade
Colin Morgan if it doesnt it can over heat mine has burned out once
is it a bad product i was thinking about getting one my charging cord doesn't work good
bumbble yes cuz the controller cuts off automatically
Yes it is.
Thanks for the quick response, I ordered the product before watching your video and realised that this was made with the first ps4 and dualshock 4 controlers. And I read somewhere that they changed the battery on v2 version. Thanks again!
Thanks for the update.
Wait so is there another one that supports the v2?
This doesn’t mean that the charger will not work with the new controller v2.
So the specifications of that power brick is very much the same as with the 3rd party charger for the PSP 2000. Hmm?
I purchased mike through amazon and when I shake it. A little rattle sound is being made out and question how heavy is it?
Sorry I no longer have this, but it should not rattle.
My usb wont plug in the controller should I buy a new controller or this product beacuse the usb can charge...???
Halp
Sorry I no longer have this.
My PS4 charging port just broke and this looks amazing! Also I have two controllers so this will work perfectly 👍🏼
🤓👍🏻
I got one today and I noticed something about it that I did not expect
So first off all I would have expected the 8 plug to be on the back of the unit and not include a little power brick
until I noticed that the little power brick looked familiar ... it's in fact just a PSP Charger ... and just so you know it works just fine on a PSP
Nice one, thanks for letting me know.
Can you connect the USB into a plug and put into a Wall Socket or Surge Protector to charge it rather then the PS4 itself?
Sorry I no longer have this to check.
Does it have a light indicator of charging progress?
No it does not.
Do you have to disconnect it when not in use? What if you just wanna leave the controllers in in the docking station so they won't be laying around? Do they just stay charging if the docking station is plugged? Or do they turn off once they're fully charged?
+Indoor510 Only charge when docking station is plugged in, they stop charging when fully charged.
can it charge the controler if the usb port is broken
No, I don't think that will work.
Geekanoids so even tho the usb connection doesnt work it wont chrage y using the bottem part? because someone else commented saying it worked and i want to e sure before i buy one
Gene Sipaia the Sony charging station doesn't charge through the micro USB port but the "ext" port. I just bought mine and it works well if micro usb port is broken.
i knew a while back coz i bought it any ways😂😂thanks for the heads up tho
Gene Sipaia good to hear that🤣
Nice video man, actually looks pretty nice! I was a bit iffy on this but not anymore.

Good job Sony
great video mate, can i ask what lens your using on ur camera??
Actually a pretty good product, well done Sony. And a pretty good video too, have a like!
Where can I find an unboxing, and review of the Innogear Dual Port Charger Charging Station for the Xbox One, and how many hours of gameplay can you get with the Dream Gear Dual Charging Dock for the Xbox One.
If I understand correctly, this charging dock doesn't connect to the ps4 right?
Correct.
I finally see a British guy doing this GO BRITAIN
I know I’m late but like if the charging port on top of my control don’t work with the usb I can use this to charge it from the ext port ?
Sorry, I no longer have this to check.
Thats quite sleek! Nice video, now I know how to set them up!
:D thanks.
Is there a way to charge your controller while playing, but not using the micro USB port? Mine is broken and I want to save money
I don’t think there is, other than just a long USB cable.
Will be buying this one later. thanks for the review
+ZaeQ Awesome choice.
+Geekanoids I saw another video of this plug in the controller 🎮. I think I'll get used to it.
Nice video, thanks Dave. I've got one of these on back order and just swapping my two controllers over on USB cable to charge them from the PS4 on standby.
Does this station works with a scuf too, because of the paddels on the back?
Can you use it also for the VR Controllers ?
Sorry I no longer have this to check.
Wait is there a cable I could plug in the bottom and charge it? What’s it called if there is one because the USB port isn’t work and I’m not sure I want to spend $65
Sorry not sure on this one.
There are cheaper docking stations
Search for charging stations on gamestop website.
question, can i leave the controller there even the charger isn't plug in? will it not deplete some kind of battery?
I'm wondering is a USB 2.0 to Micro USB C cable will plug in there and charge your controller?
Possibly.
Please the ic on my ps4 charging dock is damage. Can you please help me get one..?
Sorry I no longer have this to check.
seems to be exlcusive ot UK or EU, do you think that a standard north america figure 8 cord will work it, does the power box show multi voltage?
I recently bought this one for my ps3 and can't quite figure out the wireless thing. The guy at the electronic store said most usb cables will work for it but anyone can recommend a certain brand or something? Much appreciated.

I agree. Doesn’t sound right.
I like your review... thumbs up!
Hi one question, when the DS4 is fully charged, can i take it on the station without any kind of problems, or i must take it out of the charging station?
You can leave it on the dock and not face any immediate problems. But the thing is if a battery is charged longer than it needs to be the battery life decreases over time.
This the best ps4 charging station had it three years ago and works perfectly ...amazing
Awesome, that's great to hear :D
Good Video! very well presented easy to follow demonstration thanks
Are you serious? Every single time I see this video makes me laugh
Which one is better this one or the Energizer one?
Do you have to have 2 controller or you can just charge one
Just one will work.
@@geekanoids thank you
Is it good?
I got myne 1 year ago and i went to use it like i do every day and i smelt smoke couldnt charge none of my controllers so i decided to open it up and i found out its burnt itself ??????????
Oh no! Sorry to hear that.
What happens when you Charge it like this while chraging it with usb cable? Double Power?
I think it will only accept charge from one port.
Geekanoids Try it out with a Video please! :D
Will this work to connect the ps4 controller to the ps4
I am not sure on this.
where did you get this charging product at?
Sorry I no longer have this but probably at the time it was Amazon.
How to know if charging is full or it just won't damage after full charge
Sorry I no longer have this to check.
Is it also possible charge the PlayStation Wireless Stereo Headset 2.0 on this thing?
Is that AC Adaptor that's included in the Charging Station is the same AC Adaptor shipped with the PSP?
Great video- need to get one of these. I have the official Sony charger for the PS3 and they seem to charge the controllers quicker and more fully than simply using a USB cable. The added weight of the base on the PS3 controller and the PS4 charger is also very nice.
+blurayffan66 Thanks :D
Is it ok to leave it on the dock after charging? Thank ya
I have had no issues leaving them on the dock.
good vid am buying some but only think you missed out was putting the power to it
IF the usb port is broken on the back will this work
jono Yes, that's what that EXT port is for, to charge from the bottom, my usb did not work, I bought this, and it worked!
can you buy this type of charger but with usb
Does the controller automatically shut off when you plug it into this?
It actually looks good, hope it works good too
:D many thanks :D

would you recomend this vs some of the similar products made by 3rd party companies?
Yes.
If my controller is not charging is it because I've had it 4 2 long or can I get 1 of these an it works
thanks mate this really helped
Awesome, have a great week.
it may look ridiculous, but can you play while the remote is charging on this charging station? thanks!
Possibly, but with great difficulty.
Does a 4ps scuf controller fit this charger. (With the paddles on the back)
Just got Ps4 and I'd like to know,do i charge from dead when its orange or blue cause I've read online that it says the light will turn off when its done but i let it charge for almost 4 hours and nothing,thogh it was fully charged

:D cheers and Happy Birthday :D
thanks
I'm from America, but is the electric cable that comes with the PS4 the same one you can use with this charger?
Not sure, voltage might be different.
is it safe for dual shock 4 v2 controlers?
Should be fine, if in doubt best check with Sony.
if you have the official PS4 Dualshock 4 Wireless Controller Action Grips on your controllers, this charging dock will not work. And those are some of the best grips on market, so keep that in mind
Thanks for adding this info.
O.o I just googled those wtf would I want to add those.. I have two working hands thanks xD
are you able to wear skins on controller and charge
That should be fine.
im using powerA charger wont fit sucks need to cut skin i guess
nice and fair review, Thanks.
:D
Excellent unboxing, brilliant controller, well done Dave ;)
Does it plug into the console or the wall?????????
Wall.
Nice video! I have a question...where did you buy this or where can I buy this ?
Gamestop, ebay, amazon
lazada
Warning they break really quickly, be carefull
When you say they break, are you referring to them just not charging, or the clicking mechanism that holds the mount down so the controller will charge breaks.. I'm just trying to troubleshoot, because that's a problem I'm having now. The mounts wont stay clicked down.
What is the name of the plug that goes into that port
Should I buy this or an actual charging cable?
It depends, this acts as a nice stand too, nice n tidy.
It charge faster?
Same speed.
I can't see the point in the station. A pair of USB cables taped together would do the job easier, and for cheaper.
Much prefer the look of the NYKO Modular charge station. Can't seem to find any in the UK yet though...
seeing you need to push it down. makes me sure im going with the NYKO. i have the 360 and One versions and they are perfect.
My charging station was also imported from Japan or China I believe. It was pretty cheap, so you think it will burn out my battery?
If it is an official one it should be fine, other than that I cannot really say.
my battery turns red won't charge do I need to replace the battery or can I just buy the charging station?
Might be an issue with your controller.
Hi If my controller has a protective skin will it still be able to lock into the charging station? PS Thanks for the review.
Yes.
Thank you
will this work if my usb port is broken???
I am not 100% sure, sorry.
yes because it charges from the ext port
does this work with the V2 controller
Sorry I no longer have this to check.
product failed. Sony should add metal contacts for charging.
Nice but did u sharp your's Knife?? :D
The best charging station for ps4 in the market ..I bought and it's awesome
it is very easy to load it, you only need experience. after a few times it will be easy ;) Thanks for video.
:D many thanks.
