Review on ๐ŸŽฎ AUSTOR Gamepad Charger: Reliable AC Adapter Wall Power Charger for Nintendo Wii U Gamepad by Robert Johnson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Stay away. Let Nintendo itself overtake you.

I bought this product because I needed a new charger for the Wii U gamepad as my old one had been chewed by my cats. At this price I honestly didn't expect too much of the build quality, but I didn't expect it to be that bad either. It's probably my fault for not checking the reviews beforehand. After receiving the charger everything was fine. That was until I took it out of the box. The included charger worked as advertised and charged the gamepad with no problem. However, that is the only credit I can give him. When I took it out of the box, the charger seemed cheap. REALLY cheap (price again, I got what I paid for). The power adapter in the cord really bothered me as the plastic felt empty and cheap. Like a figurine from a discount store. I seriously feared I would crush this thing in my hands. Adding to the shockingly cheap feel was a rattling sound inside the brick. At first I thought they were candles, but after holding them so they weren't clicking anything, I heard a rattling sound inside the brick. If you're rattling in your power supply, it's probably unsafe to use and a serious fire hazard, god forbid. My advice to anyone who might want to buy this is to go to Nintendo yourself. They have remanufactured adapters on their website that are exactly the same as the ones on the console itself. It's a bit more expensive, but these adapters come directly from the maker of the Wii U itself and are identical to the original.
