 Are we reviewing the same charger? August 3, 2008
To tell you the truth, I actually like this charging station. And contrary to what others have said, I haven't had to shove, pound, or push the battery packs in. It fits like a glove, the batteries are compatable, and they work great. The only flaw in the design is that you have to constantly take the packs out when you need to charge them. This gets annoying when the controller has to constantly re-establish a connection with the console. The charger is also odd in the sense that the charge light is red when it's charging and it turns either green or it just doesn't have a light when it's at full power. It's not that big a deal to me, especially since there are a lot more pros than cons to it. For example, it powers the controller more conservativly than a typical battery. In fact, a typical set of double AA's had already lost a bar in power after four hours of continuous play as opposed to the Nyko battery that still was at full power in the same time frame. The charging station is also small so it doesn't take up that much space, making more room for other things (more games). It's a good charge station for the avid gamer who engorges on 13 plus hours of gaming a day. If your kind of skeptical about forking out $30 for it, then I'd try and get it used or on discount like I did. Gamestop is a good retailer. They sell them for as low as $15 dollars, even lower if you have an edge card. Permitting you can find a charger, that is.
 Do Not Buy January 25, 2008

Bought this from Wal-mart for $30. Works on the wireless controller that came with my system no problem, but would flash green lights on the new Microsoft controller I just bought. A google search showed that Microsoft did a small redesign on their wireless controller, which affects certain 3rd party batteries (like Nyko's). Nyko is in the process of releasing compatible batteries and replacing the old ones I bought, but it is utterly pointless to buy this just to save a few dollars.
Save yourself the headache and just buy the Microsoft-brand Quick Charge Kit and Play & Charge cable. These together cost you $40.98, which is a whole $1 more than this piece of crap.

it seems like a good deal until you get it home and you realize it dose not charge well. the batteries do not fit into the charger so you have to fiddle with them to get them to charge and then they tend to stop charging after a few seconds. not worth the hastle.
Skip this 3rd Party power kit October 9, 2007

I picked this combo power kit because it was the deal of the day and I thought it'd be a descent performer considering the cost... Well I should have just put down the extra 10 bucks to get the Official Microsoft quick charge kit because the batteries are made of a casing design that is too large for the controller that I think it may have created a crack on one my controller because the batteries have to be placed in so tight. Additionally, the charger dock does not allow for charging of the official microsoft batteries unless extra pressure is placed on top so that the metal connectors touch (this is probably due to the oversided nature of the nyko kit).
I would advise anyone, unfortunately, pay the extra money for the official charge kit or use generic AA rechargable batteries instead of this harmful product. For me, the batteries and charge station is in the trash, but I'm keeping the play and charge cord piece - i hope that'll work right.
