I ordered the groom as a gift, he is very satisfied. He used to charge it with a long cable that ran between the console and the controller up to his gaming chair. It was getting on my nerves because I stepped on the umbilical cord and our baby was on it too. When I saw this charging station I thought it would be nice to get rid of the annoying cable so I ordered one. I was very happy to see him smile as he opened it up and pulled it out of the box to try it out. He plugged it in, plugged the controller into the docking station, and it started charging. When we're watching movies together or he's not playing games, he leaves it on the dock so it's always charged and ready to go. I think the little controller shaped lights are cute, they indicate if it's charged or fully charged.
