5 for Aesthetics 1 for Reliability

I've been pleased with this product, particularly the aesthetics of the dock itself. Cons are easy to deploy and overall it's very durable and looks well made. However, after about a month of use, one of the slots stopped charging. I took the bottom off to see if anything came loose and was hoping this would be a quick fix but I didn't find that. The entire cracked side was covered in corrosion that had to come from the inside because the dock sits on a small shelf between two other gaming…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Speed

I got this a few months ago, some time after the switch came out and it saved my life. At the time of purchase, there was only one way to charge the joycons - plugging them into a switch. It was fine unless you had two or more joycon kits. After purchasing it, I was able to charge up to six joycons at once, which justifies the price. After setting it up and following the simple instructions, I had no battery issues at all. I'm giving it four stars because the cable is very short. Normally this…

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Some bugs

good price and long cable

At first I didn't think I needed such a cable. Have a range of Type-C cables and 12V to USB adapters. The problem is that the wires were only about 2-3 feet long and didn't run from the outlet to the switch (attached to a lever that connects to the Jeep Grand Cherokee passenger seat headrest). I had a 2m cable and it worked for a while but was quite thick. I spent over $20 on this cable and it was way too long and got stuck between seats. I had a thin one where the switch just didn't recognize…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Minus available

The charging station worked fine for about a week before the right rear charging station stopped charging. If I unplug the controller and plug it back in, it charges again, but only for a few minutes before it stops working again. Less than a year later and now only one port on the dock is actually charging anything. If you try to plug it into the console's dock as suggested, the dock will keep turning on and off every few seconds, assuming a standard Nintendo power supply is present, which…

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Safety
