So I'm borrowing a friend's ps4 controller and was wondering how to best charge it up? I'm currently using it through bluetooth since I couldn't figure out how to use it with the usb cord. I heard that there is a iphone charger that also has a micro usb side that allows you to charge the dualshock 4 as well. But I can't find it. Any suggestions??

Errr....

 

I believe the cable you're looking for is a Micro USB cable, not a Lighting connector Apple uses.

Well I have this USB cable http://imgur.com/u8SMvhH  But when I plug it into my laptop, it says the device isn't recognized.

plug it into a usb wall socket charger, lower ampage is better. If you have a digital tv box with usb inputs or even ones on your tv would do the trick.

I tried plugging it into my laptop with this usb cord http://imgur.com/u8SMvhH. But it said the device wasn't recognized. But when I plug it into a wall adapter like this http://imgur.com/ybn6FNK the light doesn't light up??

I tried turning it on as well, it says the device isn't recognized. How do I know if the controller is being charge or not? Besides obviously testing it.

just connect it using the standard micro usb. you can order llong ones off amazon if you like to sit far on the couch and game while charging.
