Question 1

Micro USB charger or Mini USB? Looks like Macro from the photo

Accepted Answer

The PS4 controller uses a micro USB so its different from the PS3. Most newer cell phones, tablets, etc. use micro USB which is what I'm using currently to use it on my PS3 (by the way the controller rocks!). Hope this helps.

Question 2

Is this from Sony company or other companies ?

Accepted Answer

This unit is from Sony and not aftermarket. 
This is a factory unit direct from Sony

Question 3

is this controller wireless?

Accepted Answer

Yes, All ps4 controllers are wireless, only need a cord to charge ( not included ) .

Question 4

So do these even come with the USB charging cable anymore or is Sony being cheap now & expecting you to buy one separately?

Accepted Answer

The spare controller alone does not come with a standard micro USB charge cable. However, if you have purchased a PlayStation 4 (or most cell phones), then you should have one already.

Question 5

Has the Analogue sticks's material improved from the wearing ?

Accepted Answer

yes

Question 6

Is PS4 Controller Backwards compatible with the PS3?

Accepted Answer

Not technically, not by Bluetooth. I've been able to make it work by directly connecting it to the PS3 using the usb cable. It only worked while connected.

Question 7

Does it work well with PC's?

Accepted Answer

Yes & no. Using a program like DS4 To XInput Wrapper causes Win7 to treat the DualShock 4 as if it were a 360 controller.

Potential downsides:
1) It doesn't yet seem to work wirelessly. However, it can be plugged in with a standard USB micro cable.
2) Vibration and the touchpad are currently nonfunctional.
3) A couple of games still don't recognize it (e.g., in Sonic Allstars Racing Transformed, only one button works).

On the other hand:
1) People are already working on fixing the above issues.
2) Using the afore-mentioned program, I've been able to play games like Enslaved, Castle of Illusion, Giana Sisters, and La-Mulana without any glitches.
3) It's an excellent controller.

Question 8

does this come with a charging cable?  How long do they take to recharge?

Accepted Answer

Make sure to buy a cable that supports charging. Sometimes buying the cheapest Mini USB cables doesn't work as they won't actually charge the controller.

Question 9

Is this a factory Sony controller just like the one that comes with PS4 or is it an aftermarket?

Accepted Answer

This controller is the exact same as the original that comes with the game console

Question 10

is this a new product?

Accepted Answer

No. They released with the PS4.
