Review on ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ FastSnail Charging Dock for Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers, Joy Cons & OLED Model Joycon - Multifunction Charger Stand with 2 USB 2.0 Plug and 2.0 Ports by Rob Parsons

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not perfect, but hard to beat for the price.

It's hard to beat something that charges 2 professional controllers and two sets of joycons with 2 extra USB ports for everything else for just $20. Although it definitely has some downsides. As other reviews have noted, this display is way too bright and never turns off. It's always green unless there's something plugged in that needs charging. In this case, the corresponding icon will turn red until fully charged. Leaving it on all the time would be annoying enough, but like I said, it is. darn. bright! The reviewer who suggested duct tape over the display was a genius. You can barely see the badges through the tape and it holds up great. I can only recommend this. If this company or any other company improves on this design, I would suggest turning the display brightness down by at least half and turning the display off when nothing is plugged in or when everything plugged in is fully charged. Another problem is the fragility of the display. Theme. Once connected to the docking station, it can still be bent back and forth at the connection point. If you're not careful or accidentally move the dock or charger while it's connected, you could damage the USB connectors. If this design is ever revisited it should be redone to sit more securely on the dock so that when you move one the other moves with it as if it were the same individual piece. Due to this fact and the fact that it is quite light, you will have to hold it while removing some kind of controller from it, otherwise you will lift it and possibly damage the USB ports. So basically, once this thing is hooked up, handle it with care. Despite these problems, I have to recommend them. I haven't seen anything it's capable of at any price, let alone as low as this. It's just a shame that the obvious flaws were ignored. Considering the cost of production which probably would have cost $1 more, this item could be absolutely perfect.

Pros
  • LED INDICATORS - Once the charging power supply is connected, 6 LEDs indicate the individual charging status. Red is charging, Blue is fully charged.
Cons
  • Crumpled
