Way faster!! So happy I have 2 controllers as well.
don't know in comparison, never used the usb...I copped the station and been using it since first day....I do know the station charges them fast as hell....
on a side note: I like how the light on the ds4 glows and pulsates depending on the battery level...
Yeah, that shyt is fast. I drained one of my controllers, docked it and close two hours later it's fully charged... USB took about make 3-4 hours if I had it plugged to the PS4 or from an outlet.
