I bought this to replace a charging station because my previous one was getting uncomfortable and broke. This charger is easy to use and the controllers are easy to place. The docking station's design seems more durable as it's a solid unit with no clunky or sticky parts. I want there to be some sort of audible or visual feedback to know the controllers are locked. The only way to know if the controller is charging is if the charging lights are emitted from the controller itself. However, removing and placing multiple controllers can be a problem as you can accidentally press the PS button to turn on the system.
