Controller Charger for the PS3 - Blu-ray Forum

Malosch78 · 05-01-2008, 10:00 AM

Hi!

I consider to buy Controller Charger for the PS3.
Does somebody know a good charger, that can handle the new Dualshock 3?

iNCREDiPiNOY · 05-01-2008, 10:04 AM

Nyko with dual charger. I don't know if they handle DS3. Its just the controller with charger + rumble.

I've seen more than one person say that you can also use a PC to charge the controllers so maybe that's another option?

Any powered USB port will work as long as you have a USB->Firewire cable.

I've charged a SixAxis using my camera's USB->Firewire cable connected to my PC before. Works just fine.

I would definitely save the money if you have say a home pc or so and use the USB ports on this to charge the controller. Or purchase a cheap powered USB hub to charge the bugger. I use the USB cables that came with my two controllers and hook them into the USB hub which works great.

Good luck....

I just picked this one up and I'm pretty happy with it..it charges two on the stand and can charge 2 more via ports out the side. The clear plastic clips light up with green or red glow depending on charge status. Very stylish IMO and easy to align the mini-usb connector .. which I've heard is an issue with the Nyko.

It was $25 Canadian at eb games. Excellent value.

Yes. I just bought it monday from Best Buy (along with my DS3 controller.)
Works great. I like the fact that it lights up green when it is charged. Plus it frees up a USB port on the PS3 (I have the 20GB version.)

I assumed so and aich75013 in the previous post confirms it does.

I kept holding off on the Nyko because ..

a) the alignment was reported as a real PITA and with impatient teenagers I was concerned it would get snapped.
b) it was butt ugly.

This one solved both those issues for me.

P.S. The way the Pelican works the vertical alignment is all but guaranteed because of the plastic holder .. so you just have to slide left or right to fit it .. once you know the center point on the controllers SONY label .. even that's a piece of cake.

I just plug my controller into the USB port on my cable box.

I know the USB port is the same, but isn't the DS3 a bit bigger than the normal controller?

heavier, perhaps. the arms are a little bulkier, but the overall dimensions are still the same.

Hardly. The only thing i noticed is if i put my pinky between the analog stick gap is that it won't touch both sides like it does on a regular 6axis. It's mayb 2cm diff. If you can really call that bigger lol. Other then that no, it's all the same shape and so on.

hardcore_canadian · 05-02-2008, 04:26 PM

I've had the Razr from Day 1, and have had 3 since, So I have a few of those chargers laying around, they seem to work fine for me too!

Brian Cash · 05-02-2008, 04:30 PM

all the cable is, is a mini usb to usb you can find that at bestbuy for cheap you dont need to go buy a special one from gamestop or anything also you can use alot of motorola phone chargers that are mini usb as well
