Video game controllers have come a long way over the years, but charging up your gamepad is still far from a perfect experience. DualShock 4 and Xbox One controllers still just ship with a basic USB cable for charging, and while there are various third-party charging solutions available, you never know how functional or reliable those will be. A fairly large portion of gamers are still just using the basic USB cables their controllers shipped with.

Well, a recently-unearthed Sony patent hints the company may finally be getting serious about improving the controller-charging experience. The patent shows an attachment that would allow controllers to be easily charged via an induction base. The attachment would also include additional back buttons. Check out a few diagrams and a description of the device, below.
