How to charge a PS5 controller with a USB cable
As Sony explains in its official FAQ page, "The DualSense wireless controller can be charged in two main ways. One is via the USB Type-C® port, which players can connect to PS5 (or a compatible charging device) using the included USB cable."
Basically, take the USB cable which comes in the box - you connect one end to the controller and one end to the console (or any other power source), and your controller will start charging!
If for some reason you don't have the USB-C that comes with the DualSense, other USB-C cables will also work with the PS5 controller.
