The product gives you a place to store your controllers while they're being charged, as well as a place to play games when you don't use them. Having an extra feature to keep your PS5 cool is a nice bonus too. I haven't heard of any PlayStation 5 overheating issues, but there's no harm in playing on the safe side. It even prevented your system from shifting, so you don't have to worry about accidentally knocking it over. Seems to be good value for money.
