I really like this charger. I plugged it into the PS4's USB port and the charger is on top of the device. After I finished playing, I put the PS4 into sleep mode and plugged the controller into the charger. On low power, my PlayStation shuts down after three hours, but the controller typically charges in an hour or less (that's after 6-8 hours of play). The indicator lights red when the charge is insufficient and light blue when fully charged. good colors The part is pretty solid once assembled (very easy to put together). However, due to its sleek Star Trek-like design, you could probably break it if you hit it. This is a really cool looking charger. And it works fine. I've had it for about two months and so far I like it.
