This is why I keep 2 controllers going at all times. (DBO)

My biggest issue was that, no matter which combination of plugs and cables I used, the DS4 would not charge from any source besides the PS4 itself, meaning I always had to get up to plug it in, and I didn't have a cable anywhere near long enough to play while it was plugged in, and I would often just be too lazy to get up and plug it in when I was done playing.

I got the 2d controller charging strategy going because the things keep breaking 1 day after the warranty, but I also can charge it with a normal USB-A to USB-B micro cable and my Anker 6 port USB thingy and si often do that word the end of a longer session. FYI.
