Review on Ortz® Wii GamePad Charging Adapter U by Gabriel Elliott

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Part of you knows what!

I only bought this power cord because part of the power cord connects directly to the stand/gamepad (see photo). It has ribbing and appears to be more durable than the last power cord, which died after being kinked in that area too many times. Imagine my anger when I opened the package and saw the exact same cable as the last one and not the cable I was shown that I bought not only on the box but also in the picture on Revain! I was like, okay, whatever, let's just use it anyway. Connect, play. "What is that?!" I say looking down in disbelief and I see the light has gone out and is NOT charging anymore! I think it's just our fault, it's probably falling out of the socket. nope! I unplug it from the gamepad and plug it back in, it lights up again. But soon the light goes out. So, I count how long it stays on before it shuts off... 53 SECONDS! It works for 53 seconds before it stops working, I say out loud. Then I tested it again, plugged it in and it stops at 35 seconds. Then it cuts out again, just 19 seconds after turning it on! This thing is definitely, positively, absolutely a piece of junk. My official rating is 5 stars. (Edit 3/10/16: I see 6 people didn't find this review helpful; hey Ortz! Improve the product and you might get a better review!)
