Keep your PS3 controller charged and ready to go with this 1.8m USB cable.
Check compatibility
Compatible with all PS3 consoles (fat and Slim)
This is a full data cable, not a charge-only cable. The PS3 DualShock 3 controller requires a proper USB data handshake to accept a charge, so generic charge-only cables and most phone wall chargers will not work. This cable provides both data and charging current, so it works straight away. It also handles controller pairing — when you plug a controller into a PS3 via USB for the first time, the controller registers to that console and will connect wirelessly from then on.

About this item
Plug it into any USB port on the PS3 console and connect the Mini USB end to your controller — long enough to charge comfortably from the couch while you keep playing.
The cable includes a built-in ferrite core to reduce electromagnetic interference for a clean, reliable connection. Strain-relief moulding at both connectors and a flexible PVC jacket for everyday durability.
Compatible with all PlayStation 3 consoles (fat and Slim) and all PS3 wireless controllers — DualShock 3, Sixaxis, and PlayStation Move. Also works as a standard Mini USB cable for digital cameras, GPS units, MP3 players, and other Mini USB devices.
Not sure this is the right cable? This is a Mini-USB lead for the PS3 DualShock 3, Sixaxis and PlayStation Move controllers. A PS4 DualShock 4 or Xbox One controller uses Micro-USB instead — for those you need the PS4 / Xbox One Micro-USB charging cable. Need more reach from the couch? The same Mini-USB cable is also available in 3 metres.
Still not sure? Use the Cable Finder — pick your console and it shows you the exact lead that fits.
