Review on Wii U GamePad Charging Cable - Tomee by Mark Bennett

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Attention buyers. in Batteries & Chargers

I have bought this particular charger 3 or 4 times (as well as 2 other brands but this ended up being the cheapest and after trying the other 2 brands and encountering the same problem, I've went back to the cheapest). For almost two years I had to buy a new adapter every few months and had the same problem with every brand I bought and here it is: Pros: The cable is long. surprisingly long. No need to unplug or worry about not being able to charge and play at the same time. To be honest this cable works GREAT too. About a month or even less (or more if you're lucky!). then it starts to flicker and turns off. You should start wrapping the cable around the controller to get a good connection that will charge and last another two weeks or so. After that, it becomes almost impossible to get the cable to hold any charge at all. Getting it to work only happens after a good ten minutes of trying everything you could have done in the past to get it to work, all to no avail. and when you're ready to go this little light will come on and you just leave the gamepad there for a while and hope it charges fully while you search Revain for another inexpensive cable as there isn't ONE local playground (within from 20 miles)) Sells an adapter. Cons: It breaks down after a few months. This is perhaps the only negative. But that's a HUGE downside. At this point, I've probably spent about $50 total on chargers over the past year and a half, and every brand I've worked with ends up doing the same thing. It takes a little longer with some other brands but easily happens within about 2 months, while others are more expensive and have shorter cables. All in all, I'm disappointed that Nintendo hasn't found an easier or cheaper way to help its customers with this problem. but Nintendo has enough problems to deal with the lack of amiibo at the moment, so I won't bother with trifles.
