The cable that ships with the PS5 DualSense is 1.5 metres long — just enough to reach the console from a floor seat, not enough to reach a couch from a TV unit. These 6.6ft (2 metre) USB-C cables give you the reach to charge from the console, a USB hub behind the TV, or a wall adapter across the room — while continuing to play, without putting the controller on the floor. Two cables in the pack means both controllers stay charged simultaneously, or one cable lives at the console and one stays at the charging station.
The tightly braided nylon jacket is the single most important durability feature on a controller cable. Controller cables flex and bend at the connector end thousands of times per year — a bare rubber cable develops micro-fractures at the connector collar within months of daily use. The braided jacket distributes that flex stress across the weave, and the reinforced strain relief collar at both connector ends prevents the acute bend angle that causes internal wire breakage. Tested to 20,000 bend cycles, the cable is designed to outlast the charging port it plugs into.
Supports fast charging on the PS5 DualSense (which accepts up to 7.5W from USB-C) and the Xbox Series controllers, as well as full 60W charging for laptops, phones, and tablets when paired with an appropriate charger. The cable is USB-A to USB-C with the USB-A end connecting to the console or USB wall charger.

Product specifications
Why cable length matters for gaming controllers
Most living room setups place the TV and console at least 2–3 metres from the primary seating position. The standard cable included with both the PS5 DualSense and Xbox Series controllers is designed for close-range use — adequate for a desk setup, inadequate for a couch. At 6.6ft (2m), this cable reaches from a console sitting in a standard TV unit to a typical couch seating position without tension, without pulling the controller at an angle, and without requiring the player to sit on the floor during charge sessions. The extra length also accommodates setups where the USB charger is a wall adapter rather than the console itself.
PS5 DualSense charging — what USB-C means vs. the old Micro-USB
The DualSense was the first PlayStation controller to ship with USB-C rather than Micro-USB, a change from the DualShock 4. USB-C carries three practical advantages for controller charging: the connector is reversible (no wrong-way plugging in the dark), it supports higher charging currents that reduce charge time, and it uses the same connector standard now used by virtually every modern device. A single USB-C cable in this pack charges the DualSense, an Xbox Series controller, an iPhone 15 or 16, an Android phone, a Nintendo Switch, and a Steam Deck — replacing the pile of device-specific cables that previously required its own drawer.
Xbox Series X/S USB-C charging — battery pack vs. direct charging
Xbox Series X and S controllers shipped with AA battery slots rather than a built-in rechargeable battery — a deliberate design choice by Microsoft. USB-C charging on these controllers requires the Xbox Rechargeable Battery + USB-C Cable kit (sold separately by Microsoft) or a compatible third-party rechargeable battery pack installed in the controller. Once a rechargeable battery pack is installed, this cable charges the controller at full speed via the USB-C port on the battery pack. If you are using standard AA batteries, a charging cable is not applicable unless you also have a rechargeable battery pack.
Play and charge — does it affect gameplay?
Both PS5 DualSense and Xbox Series controllers with rechargeable packs support simultaneous play-and-charge via USB-C. There is no input lag introduced by the cable connection — the cable carries only power, not control data, while connected during wireless play. The controller continues to communicate with the console wirelessly while charging via the cable. The only situation where wired input takes effect is if you specifically configure the controller to switch to wired mode in the console settings, which is an optional choice for competitive play rather than an automatic behaviour when the cable is plugged in.
Why braided cables outlast rubber cables on gaming setups
Controller cables see a specific type of wear that differs from phone chargers. While a phone cable typically bends at one fixed angle on a nightstand, a controller cable bends in multiple directions as the controller is moved during gameplay — toward the player, side to side, up and down — with the greatest flex stress concentrated at the connector end where the cable meets the rigid housing. Rubber cables develop micro-fractures in the insulation at this flex point, eventually causing the internal conductors to intermittently connect and disconnect — producing the frustrating experience of a cable that only works at a specific angle. Braided nylon distributes the flex load across many individual fibres in the weave, with no single point accumulating enough stress to fail. The aluminium connector housing and reinforced collar ensure the transition between rigid housing and flexible cable is gradual rather than acute.
Frequently asked questions
Does this cable work with the PS4 DualShock 4? No. The DualShock 4 uses a Micro-USB connector. This cable has a USB-C connector and is not compatible with Micro-USB ports. It works with the PS5 DualSense, PS5 DualSense Edge, and PSVR2 Sense Controllers, all of which use USB-C.
Can I use this to connect the controller to a PC for wired input? Yes. Plugging the DualSense or an Xbox controller with a wired connection into a PC via this cable enables wired controller input in Steam, Windows, and most PC games. The cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer for controller communication alongside charging.
Does the cable come with a USB wall adapter? No — the pack contains two cables only. The cables are designed to connect to the USB-A port on the PS5, Xbox, or a USB wall charger (not included). Any standard USB-A wall adapter works with these cables.
Will it fast-charge my phone as well? Yes. The cable supports up to 3A / 60W — enough for fast charging on most Android phones and standard charging on iPhone 15/16 (which requires a USB-C to USB-C cable for fast charging; this USB-A to USB-C cable will charge at standard 5W speed on iPhones).
Is 6.6ft long enough for a typical TV setup? For most couch-to-TV-unit setups (2–3 metre separation), 6.6ft is adequate for play-and-charge from the console. For larger rooms or console-on-floor setups, a 10ft cable would provide more slack. The 6.6ft length is the sweet spot for cable management — long enough to reach without creating excessive slack that tangles.
