It does the job! suitable for chargers

Works well. I bought these because I didn't want to leave the PS4 in sleep mode just to charge the controllers. Unlike the PS3, the PS4 controller's batteries last significantly less. There is no LED indicator on the unit, which is not necessary for me as the DS4 will blink while charging and stop when fully charged (just like charging from the console.). You can charge two controllers at the same time (or just one). They come with an AC adapter so you can charge them virtually independently of

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Almost never

Buy something else.

So if you manage to install the PS4 controller correctly and don't touch it after that, it will charge the device. Hence the one star. However, the controller is very difficult to install and once you do, the slightest touch will separate it from the pins. The build quality is bad. It is a brittle plastic that breaks easily. There is a "feature" where you insert the controller into the charger and then press to hook the charging contacts. Charging clicks like the controller is implanted. Oh no.

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others

Not perfect, but still worth it.

It works as advertised but takes some time getting used to installing and charging the controllers properly. It took a few days to figure out the exact mounting angle, or the parts will wear down to the point where they will fit and snap together easily, or both. Sometimes connecting the controller initially when it was already on the docking station resulted in disconnecting the existing one. It can sometimes be difficult to tell if the controllers are charging since their lights aren't always

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Not the best

God how helpful.

I've been a gamer for over 30 years and I've never bought a controller docking station in my life. the first 10 of those years, and the controllers didn't go wireless until I was in my 20s, but GO. This thing saves lives. that your controller has dropped to a bar and you can't find the damn charging cable. And when you find it, it'll be about 2 feet long, so you'll have to play the game like f'n Smeagol for an hour while it charges. This pretty little bastard fixes everything. Answering oldโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Crumpled

A must for Playstation 4 owners

Let's be honest friends. We know the Playstation 4 is a great console and the Dualshock 4 is one of the best controllers ever made, but the truth is the battery life on them is complete bullshit. For smooth, long gaming sessions, owning a second controller for your PS4 isn't a luxury like the PS3, it's a necessity. That's why you need this charging station. There are 4 reasons why I think this is a very good product: 1. It charges Dualshock 4 fast I charged mine from empty to full in under 45โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Exchange possible

What a life change!

The transition from a charging cable to this charging station was revolutionary! It's not as convenient as it could be, simply because you can't charge and use the controller at the same time like you can with a charging cable. If you have 2 controllers this shouldn't be a problem at all! I always leave one controller on the charging dock (there is an intermediate setting on the dock that allows you to dock the controller, but not far enough away to start charging) while I use the otherโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • I'll add later

The ideal charging station

This dual charging station is fantastic. The station is small so it takes up very little desk/counter space and the power cord is tucked away on the bottom + side so the cord isn't an issue (assuming you use common sense to place it ). ). Placing the controller in the charging station is very easy - just place the controller(s) into the slot (which is effortless) and press down gently. Once your controller is pressed, charging will begin and the light on your controller will turn amberโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
