Review on Razer Universal Quick Charging Stand For Xbox Series XS: Magnetic Secure Charging And Perfect Controller Matching In Mineral Camo Design by Davon Man

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It just works and it looks good on the TV stand

1. The charger is deceptively small, which means it takes up less space.2. The build quality is solid and the black color matches perfectly with my default black Xbox Series X controller.3. Installing the battery was quite easy. Just add the battery pack and replace the cover.4. The controller sits nicely and securely on the charger without wobbling.5. The magnetic attraction between the controller and the charger works but it's not super strong. To give you a sense of it, the magnetic attraction is much weaker than between a MagSafe iPhone and it's charger. This means that when you place the controller on the charger, you don't get as much of a feedback that you've put the controller correctly on the charger. It's possible to put the controller on the charger in a misaligned way so that it doesn't charge. This is not a big deal as I explain in the next two points.6. If you correctly put the controller on the charger, there is an audible and satisfying click. Listen for this click sound.7. The lights work as expected for me. I know that other reviewers said that the lights didn't work as expected for them. Maybe, I got lucky but this is how it works: (a) The light is off if the controller is removed from the charger or if the controller is placed incorrectly on the charger, even when the charger is plugged in, (b) when you correctly put the controller on the charger and the battery is less than 100%, an orange light comes on (look for this light to ensure that your controller is charging), (c) if the controller is situated correctly on the charger and when the battery is 100% charged, then the light turns from orange to white.8. The battery pack gives me a good charge at least for now (I've only had this for a week at the time of writing this review). I can play up to 4 hours in one sitting with plenty of charger left. Though, I often take breaks and it's just more convenient to put the controller back on the charger during the breaks than to leave the controller lying around on the couch. But, this battery pack still loses more charge than 2 AA Duracell non-rechargeable, disposable batteries for the same amount of single session playtime. I guess that's a pretty common difference between rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.In my opinion, this is one of the better controller charging stands of its type. As an example, I got a 3rd party (not Razer) PS5 controller charger and that looks uglier & cheaper (in plastic quality), takes up more space (though charges 2 controllers at once), and is more finicky/wobbly when placing the controller over it.
