Yes, it is OK to charge a PS5 controller from a wall outlet, as long as you use a compatible and safe power adapter. The controller is designed to be charged with a USB connection, and most modern wall adapters provide this. However, ensure the adapter outputs the appropriate power level (5V/1.5-2A) to avoid damaging the controller. Using the cable and adapter provided by Sony or purchasing from reputable brands is recommended for the best experience.
