Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Kootek PS4 Vertical Stand with Cooling Fan & Dual Controller Charging Station, USB HUB & Dual Charger Ports โ€“ Slim/Regular PlayStation 4 Compatible (Not for PS4 Pro) by Dhoal Black

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty good charging station, so-so vertical stand with cooling

Stand meets expectations in its price range. Two working charge controllers and fans are built into the vertical stand. Did I notice a change in performance? Very little, but I mainly use it for charging. However, I like that it includes additional USB ports. My biggest problem is that the fans are at the bottom of the stands. So they're useless unless you can find a way to support the stand on each side without covering the fans. I found a way using 2 small 1 x 2 inch cubes. Fans have a hard time sucking in air if it can't get into the vents. The controller chargers work as expected. My only issue is that the attachment point is literally a protruding micro USB connector. So if you're not careful when plugging in a controller, it's easy to miss a port and bend the microUSB, rendering that charging port useless. Other than that, if you're careful, it works fine. Pros: - Charges 2 controllers - Additional USB hubs - Quiet fans - Sturdy vertical stand Cons: - Easily breakable mounting points for controllers - Fans are located on the bottom of the case. Stand where they can't get air (all their work) unless the base is supported and can't breathe. Summary: If you're looking for a dual charging dock for your controller, there's no harm in getting one. It costs about the same as a controller dock, but comes with additional USB ports and "cooling" fans in the form of a vertical stand. Roughly the same idea as "why buy a car without air conditioning when you can buy a car with rather mediocre air conditioning for the same price."

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Approximately
