Important Note

The standard standalone DualSense retail package does not include a USB charging cable. A compatible USB-C cable is required for charging or wired use and is sold separately unless QUTECH's specific stock is supplied as a bundle.

Haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, built-in microphone, speaker and other advanced functions depend on the connected platform, game and connection method. Some PC features may require a wired USB connection.

The current official Midnight Black product listing identifies the controller as CFI-ZCT2W. Older genuine Midnight Black stock may carry an earlier DualSense hardware revision, so the physical retail box should be checked if the exact revision is important.

Battery runtime is not fixed and varies depending on game features, vibration, adaptive trigger usage, speaker volume, battery condition and other operating conditions.

The DualSense controller is designed primarily for PS5. It should not be advertised as a standard wireless controller for direct PS4 console gameplay, although it can be used with supported PS Remote Play setups.
