🔌 MIDWEC Magnetic Charging Dock Organizer for HTC Vive/Vive Pro Controller - Wall-mounted Charger Stand, 1 Piece Review

We bought my son a Vive VR headset for Christmas and this stand was the logical choice for the accessory. It was easy to install and worked great! My son then removed the wireless adapter tabs from the controllers to update the firmware and couldn't find them afterwards. I contacted Myjk Direct and asked if I could purchase replacement adapters. They could have asked me to pay for them or charge for shipping and handling but to my surprise they just sent new adapters for free. That's excellent…

I really wanted a dedicated and SECURE place to store and charge my controllers. I connect them to charging cables and put them on the table. Not the best scenario for $130 items. This wall storage/charger is MUCH better. I also like that I can hang my headset on it. Please ignore the ugly headset bag. This will prevent dust etc from getting on my lenses. I have noticed that the charging lights on this charging station sometimes flash red and green alternately. I suspect this is what happens…

I really got everything I could because of this product. For some reason I thought it would be better than just placing the controllers on a counter, table, or shelf and connecting micro USB cables to each controller to charge them. I was wrong. The method of attachment to this device is questionable at best. You take these little plugs, plug them into the controller's charging ports, and then they attach to the bases in the "dock" and are ready to charge. The first issue is that one of them…

This product has two main problems: 1) It can be a bit difficult to align the controller with the charging port on the base. If you are not careful and attentive, they may step out a little and not charge. Over time you'll get a feel for when it's lined up, but that can be an issue if you have kids or other less-observant people using them. 2) If you connect both controllers to the dock in a short time, the device will switch. flashes red and green, does not lock or charge at all. Once it…

This is a good dock for Vive elements, but the design could be better. The screw holes are horribly placed making it difficult to mount to the wall. The controller holders will block the screw holes so the screwdriver is at an angle to the screw. The flange around the screw hole is too small and may not completely cover the drywall anchor. Finally, when you use screws to mount this to the wall, the screws will be visible and need to be painted or painted over with a marker, because who has…

I've read in some reviews that this device didn't fully charge its controllers or that it was difficult to align the controller in the charger. I haven't had any of these problems. No USB charger/power adapter is supplied but it is meant to use at least 2 amps at 5 volts output. Anything below this rating will still work, but will take longer to charge. 2 amp USB chargers are available here on Amazon for under ten dollars, and if you have a Samsung phone the charger will likely be 2+ amps. I…

There is a hook on the bottom but I would NOT use it for a headset, it's very thin plastic and can break, I use it for a hip tracker instead. It depends on almost everything. Be careful with the small plug-in USB magnets if you pull them out of the controllers for any reason. DO NOT STICK THEM, if it's difficult to remove, just wiggle them back and forth while slowly loosening them a bit. Otherwise they may break inside the controller. They sit well on the pads with the rubber on the…

When I bought my Vive about 6 months ago I looked at various options. I needed a wall mount option and wasn't too concerned about ascetics as long as the price was right. This product met everything I need and works great. The magnetic connectors are really handy, and if the controllers don't snap right away, they might have to wiggle a bit to snap into place. Using an HMD hook to wall mount is a simple piece of plastic on a hinge but works well. I added a 3M plastic hook nearby to tie the…
