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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Cheap piece of junk

This charger is an ordinary cheap Chinese replacement for the Wii U GamePad charger. I probably shouldn't be so shocked that it barely works, but I can't help it. I just never expect products to be defective, especially the Revain "recommended" ones. Anyway, this charger will literally charge your GamePad for a few seconds, lose connection for a few more seconds, maybe reconnect for another tiny fraction of the time, and then lose it again until the charger (and the GamePad itself ) is almost done does not move or does not move at all. Your GamePad's red light will warn you of low battery even when it needs to be plugged in and charged, and if you look at the GamePad's screen it will flicker constantly because the GamePad can't tell if it's in "battery saver mode" or not Not . You'll spend an inordinate amount of time blaming yourself for "moving around" too much and trying different positions, desperately trying to figure out a way to get this charger to work reliably, but it will inevitably fail because this charger is so poorly made almost had to think it was on purpose, like a cruel joke.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Exorbitant piggy bank
