Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Collective Minds PSVR Showcase: The Ultimate AC Charge & Display Stand for PS4 VR - PlayStation 4 by Vanessa Harrison

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Best Available PlayStation VR Stand

This is the 3rd PlayStation VR Stand I've tried since POWER A PlayStation VR Charging and Display Station - Charging Stand for PlayStation 4 and IVSO PS VR Controllers, Quick Charge Stand PS4 VR with Charging Ports + LED Indicator for PlayStation VR and PS Move Motion Controllers - Extra space for VR headset and helmet, and by far the best. It's also by far the biggest. I had to clean up the space where I previously placed the other two stands and move things around to make room for it. This can be both good and bad. Bad in the sense that it takes up more space, good in that this one is MUCH more stable than the other two. While others will slip or even tip over at the slightest touch if you're not careful, this one isn't going anywhere. Also, despite being plastic (which is often not as cheap as many people make it out to be), it feels very durable and well built. Crate. You can assemble it in just a few seconds without having to consult a tiny two-page manual, which isn't really necessary. This stand holds the PlayStation VR headset very well. Serious. While the Power A stand fails to hold it properly at all, and the IVSO stand is just unsteadily balancing at the top, this stand actually holds the headset properly without straining the elastic straps, which the Power A stand inevitably does when charging two DualShock 4s controllers and two PlayStation Move controllers at the same time, as much as an IVSO stand and a DS4 more than Power A. It holds Move controllers way better than anyone else. They slide easily into the charger and are guaranteed to fit the charger right the first time. It also has dedicated strap holes while the Power A stand doesn't, you can still get them in with some force as the compartments are pretty loose and the IVSO stand cannot hold a strap. Move the controllers if the wristbands are even attached. It holds DualShock controllers much like Power A holds its only DualShock controller, largely due to its reliance on a USB port rather than using a standard charging dock on the bottom of the controller. lower it slightly, which is offset by the fact that the controllers stay on the charging port better, while at times they tend to detach from Power A (the controller should sit perfectly straight); but it's better than IVSO, especially since it doesn't need those stupid keys that the IVSO stand requires. It features indicator LEDs for each of the four controllers that glow red while charging and blue when the controller is fully charged. However, they stay on indefinitely after the controller charges, in fact they never turn off even when the controller is undocked. So keep that in mind if you plan to use this in a highly visible place or even more. Especially in the bedroom. What makes this stand unique is the additional USB charging port on the back of the stand. It's supposedly designed to charge a wireless gaming headset, but it can be used to charge almost anything. With that in mind, this stand also has a very strong hook on the back for hanging the headphones, but you can also just use it to hang the long VR headset cable if you like. Pros: + Holds a VR headset, 2 DS4 controllers, 2 Move controllers and headphones + Holds a headset very well, especially very well + Charges controllers and wireless headphones. The "U" in that word means "universal," you know.+ Strong, strong, and stable. It doesn't get knocked over easily.+ LED charge indicators.+ Very quick and easy assembly.+ Cutouts for the Move controller straps. I never thought I'd have to pay attention to this, but the IVSO stand proved me wrong with its pointless front-connect power cord. .- DualShock controllers can be a bit tricky to set up at first, but you get used to it.- Takes up more space than other stands.- Doesn't use USB for power, which can be an issue if you've ever made it, damaging an included proprietary power cord - Opinion: Doesn't look as cool as the Power A stand when all is complete.
