I will have fun swapping out rechargeable battery packs on the more comfortable controller instead of having to sit 2 feet away from the TV while the controller is charging.

Heres a quick and easy solution, so easy even a caveman can do it!

Step 1) Recharge controller as you are sleeping, the PS4 does not need to be turned on for the controller to recharge.

Step 2) use controller for the entire day and have fun playing however far away from the TV you want to be.

Repeat steps 1 and 2.

Or do what I do with the PS3 on PS4 ,  run a  small usb hub  from the PS3 with a second controller attached  and swap over when one runs out , or if you like  instead of a hub  use the other port ( I have the camera in the other PS3 usb port ) .
