Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Ultimate PS5 Controller Charger Dock: DualSense Wireless Controller Charging Station with Cable & 4 Thumbstick Caps by Chris Smotherman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Probably the best (non-Sony) PS5 charging station on Revain

The physical design of this charging stand is superior to any other non-Sony PS5 charging stand sold by Revain. Whoever designed the body of this thing did a great job. I tried 4 different charging stations before finding this one and this one has by far the best design. This is the only true plug and play charging station I have found. All of the other devices I tried had connections that made it difficult to attach your controllers, and all required you to actually pick up the charging dock to line it up with your controller to get a good connection. Not so with this one. It is designed in such a way that it is almost impossible to make a wrong connection. You could probably fit your controllers correctly blindfolded. No need to lift it up or try to install controllers, this charging station makes it easy and almost reliable. I had some trouble finding a charging box that worked well and worked well with this device. Most of these stations sold by Revain use a 5 volt, 2+ amp charger. This device didn't like that combination and always gave red flashing lights (meaning something was wrong). I tried another branded 5 volt 1.1 amp unit and didn't like it either. The same flashing red lights mean an error. Low, and lo and behold, it seems to like the standard little Apple charger that used to come with all iPhones (the little 5V, 1Amp). These packs work great with this charging station and with this pack I charged a dead PS5 controller (turned on but immediately turned off) to 100% in less than 3 hours. Charges TWO controllers simultaneously with this Apple charging box. Will update when I can test it. There is a note with instructions on how to update the firmware in case Sony changes something that causes this charging station not to work. The URL provided points to a Google Drive location with some EXE files to download. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with dropping a random EXE file of dubious origin on my PC, so I'm hoping it never happens and that it continues to work without the need for a firmware update. Instructions are included, but the English translation is a little hard to read. The included thank you note is a nice touch, as are the free rainbow colored PS5 grip cases. We give this product 4 out of 5 stars. I would give 4.5 if I could. My difficulty in finding a loading block that works with the device is knocking it over. Other people may not have one that works with it.

Pros
  • โžค High-speed charging station: Both DualSense controllers charge simultaneously in less than 3 hours. This PS5 charger offers an easy and quick way to charge and store your PS5 DualSense controller. It takes about 2 hours to charge the controller, and two controllers can be fully charged in 3 hours at the same time.
Cons
  • Some Flaws
