Just discovered a standard USB dosent seem to work, (had a spare none with a camera) so where could I get a compatible lead as charging the PS4 pads are a real chore as they last about 10 minutes..


xb1 at least had a decent play and charge kit with a decent length wire I suppose

    Strange my pad lasts around 6 hours between charges, and ive had no problem finding a usb charge lead ascit was in the box with the ps4, I also have one that comes with all android phones.

    Micro usb is the industry standard so all newish devices use it and common leads. That is all devices apart from Apple products.

    It's brill that most companies are now using the same lead. I charge my phone off the ps4 and could charge the controller from the mains.
