Mini Bluetooth chatpad
If you’re tired of the inbuilt PS4 controller microphone, you can now play voice chat games using the new Bluetooth chatpad. It fits conveniently under the PS4 controller and is rechargeable. It supports all major credit cards and allows you to send and receive text messages. It also has a built-in speaker, which allows you to listen to audio while playing games.
The PS4 chat keypad has been designed to blend with the controller perfectly. It’s extremely convenient to install, and can be easily paired with any authentic PS4 controller. It features dedicated keys for textual content chat and allows you to adjust the volume on your chat/recreation audio. It also retains the original PS4 controller’s style.

External headset
The PS4 controller has an audio output jack that accepts a wide variety of headphones and headsets. To use an external headset, first connect a 3.5mm headphone cord to your PS4 and go to the Settings menu. There, select Audio Devices. Select “headphones” and set Output and Input to “Headphones” or “all audio.” If you don’t have a 3.5mm cord, you can also connect your headphones via the EXT port.
The Sony WH-1000XM3 headset has a round shape and a low profile. However, larger ears will find it uncomfortable. This headset also tends to make the ear feel cradled. As a result, it can cause slight pressures to become very acute, especially if you are gaming for extended periods of time. This is especially true if you wear glasses.
If you’re using a wired USB headset, make sure it’s made for the platform you’re using. Otherwise, it won’t work. Another option is to purchase a headset that has a 3.5mm jack. This option works great for the Xbox One, but the headset you choose must be marked “Made for Xbox” in order to function properly.
A third option is to buy a headset with Bluetooth. It allows you to play multiple audio sources simultaneously. However, keep in mind that these devices tend to have limited functionality when connected to a smartphone. Make sure to read the manual before purchasing a headset.
Charging port
If you’re having trouble charging your PlayStation 4 controller, the charging port may be damaged or loose. In this case, you can either replace the charging port or repair the controller. To do so, disassemble the controller and remove the charging port board from the controller. Next, disconnect the charging port ribbon cable. This process is relatively straightforward, but make sure to confirm that the problem is with the charging port.
If you have a USB charging port on your PS4 controller, you can clean it by using a toothpick, loupe, heavy book, and compressed air. The key here is to be careful, however, as the charging port is very sensitive. It may also be damaged by water.
In other cases, the charging port may be damaged or the USB cord may not be firmly connected. In such cases, you should try charging another controller to test the charging port. If the problem persists, you should replace the charging port. You can find more information about charging on the PlayStation website.
If you still have charging issues with your PS4 controller, there may be something wrong with the charging cable. Ensure that the cable is not frayed or damaged, as this may interfere with the power flow. In addition, be sure to clean the charging port with a microfiber cloth or a toothpick.
