The charging cable is well finished and in my opinion has the perfect length to play. At 4 feet, there is nothing to complain about. Also work load and play at the same time with it. A great thing, because the battery charging can last "a little while" and shame that my battery is always empty so quickly. Sometimes I think it would be better if I let the cable only still there but I will indeed once again play wirelessly. But one has ever a Wireless. In any case, the cable is recommended and I do not want to miss my PS 4, or my PS4 controllers.
