Im seriously losing my mind with these cheap USB cables. My PS4 Pro controllers wont stay charged and the ports keep wiggling loose. Honestly fed up with my current setup and need a proper station asap.
- Budget: around 30 bucks
- Needs to hold two controllers
- Must actually be reliable
Any recommendations that wont break after a week?

> need a proper station asap. Grab the PowerA DualShock 4 Charging Station for PlayStation 4 for like 20 bucks. Super reliable, sturdy, and saves those loose USB ports.

Just catching up here. @Reply #2 - good point! Using a dedicated wall-powered unit is way better for keeping those PS4 ports from dying. Here are two solid alternatives if you want to avoid USB console fatigue:
- HyperX ChargePlay Duo for PlayStation 4
- Very heavy base so it doesnt slide around.
- Collective Minds PS4 USB Auto Dock
- Charges through the EXT port which is much faster than the standard micro-USB slot. Basically, either should last you a long time.

Late to the party but honestly, are you looking for a wall-powered dock or something that plugs into the console USB? Ive had mixed luck depending on how that power draw hits.
