Best Charging Solution for Switch Pro and Joy-Cons

I've tried so many different chargers for my Switch controllers and they've all been terrible for one reason or another. I tried to go cheap and learned the hard way that they are cheap for a reason. So I decided to treat myself to a few and I'm glad I did. By far the best feature is the ability to combine up to 4 loading blocks. You can mix and match Xbox One, PS4, Switch Pro, and Joy-Con blocks. The lids are easy to remove but stay in place if you want them to. The blocks fit well and hold together well. I already had other chargers for my Xbox One and PS4, but I would definitely save blocks for those too if I needed them. This creates a really nice look when they all fit together despite the different consoles. The load button looks a little strange at first, but once you start playing you don't look at it or think about it. I prefer the dongle over other chargers that force you to align the charging port, which often scratches the controller. When it's on, you don't feel or notice it, and the ease with which you can dock your controller makes it worth it. Given how the pro controllers are made, you have to rely on the charge indicator on the controller itself, which isn't a problem at all. You can't see the charge status from across the room like you can with Xbox One or PS4 controllers, but that doesn't bother me. For Switch controllers, there simply isn't a better option. I'm pretty sure I've tried them all. From other big brand chargers that keep coming with DOA, to cheap other brand chargers that come with 1" cables and no charger, to charge lights that never really show a charge. I'm glad I finally found a charger that works as advertised.
