 i like it but... August 23, 2008
I like this charger so much.. but like the other reviews.. the lights are too bright. just unplug it when your controllers are charged. would have liked a simple switch to turn on/off the charger rather than unplugging. Still recommended for PS3 owners :)
 Great add-on for the PS3 August 9, 2008
I'm not a big fan of using the USB cord to charge the PS3 controllers; it takes too long to charge, I don't like leaving the PS3 on when not watcing movies or playing games, and the cables length limits where you can sit. The Nyko charge base provides a compact solution for solving these issues. I found that the controllers will charge in about 3 hours from about 1 bar of existing power. The controllers charge independently so you don't have to wait for both to finish before you can use one. Some have complained about the looks but I think the carge base looks good and it is very easy to use. This is a great, low cost add-on for the PS3.
Great unit. Great customer suppport. August 9, 2008
This is a great unit. On top of the people at the company who makes it are great, too. When I opened my unit, I failed to notice I dropped one of the adapters on the floor. My dog immediately grabbed it and chewed it to a non-functioning state. When I contacted the manufacture they sent me two more adapters right away at no charge.
Nice charger. August 1, 2008
If you have a PS3, a separate charger for the controllers is a necessity. This charger does the job admirably. I love the drop-in nature of it. I only wish that there was a way to design it so that it could be used vertically.
 Works ok but it's ugly with bright LEDs on top July 30, 2008

This product works well enough, no connecting cables because the controllers drop right in and I love that I can keep the controllers by the couch and not in the entertainment center for charging but...
The design is quite ugly compared to the PS3 or any other home A/V equipment one might have around. Honestly, it looks like a cheap toy. Further, as others have mentioned, the LEDs are way to bright, I don't need a pair of giant green circles on my ceiling while I watch a movie. It should have a switch to turn them off or set them much lower.
So half an hour out of the box I was modding it.
EASY LED MOD:
This will make the sides of the charger glow dimly and turn the big LEDs off. It does no damage to the product and can easily be undone.
Supplies: You will need small and smaller jewelers philips screwdrivers and a little electric tape.
1) Open the bottom, like a battery compartment, it slides forward.
2) Unplug and remove the power supply.
3) You will see five screws, remove the four that form a square, the LED box will come loose and be attached by a ribbon cable.
4) Take out the two tiny screws to release the board. You will see they use two LEDs, one for red and one for green.
5) Place electrical tape over the plastic on the top, so the LEDs will still glow faintly through the sides of the charger.
6) Assemble in reverse.
This mod makes it livable but it still looks like a toy.
