Sony's PS4 controller is the lone Micro-USB hold-out in the modern controller line-up: a single USB Micro-B 2.0 port at the top edge handles charging and wired play, exactly the same connector as a 2013-era smartphone. A 3.5mm TRRS headset jack and a proprietary EXT accessory port sit on the bottom edge alongside the front-facing light bar. Battery life is a modest 4–8 hours depending on rumble and light-bar use. A 2016 revision (CUH-ZCT2) added a light-bar strip on the touchpad and slightly larger battery but kept the same Micro-USB and 3.5mm ports.

Notes & Compatibility
USB Micro-B 2.0 port on the top edge — the only modern PlayStation controller still on Micro-USB (USB-C arrived with the DualSense). A proprietary EXT accessory port (not a user-cable port) sits next to the headset jack for charging docks. CUH-ZCT2U revision (2016) adds a touchpad light strip; port spec unchanged.
