 Convenient, but annoying brightness May 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This charging base works really well. No more searching for the USB cables when you need to charge, just drop the controllers in the base. You leave a charging attachment on the controllers all the time, which I thought might get annoying but it turns out the attachments are pretty small and out of the way of my hands so they don't bother me.
The main negative is that the charging indicator lights are large, stay on all the time and are *crazy bright* for indicators (think cheap flashlight bright). This became annoying very quickly to me, especially when watching a movie in low light. I hid the base slightly, behind the TV and this has helped some. The indicators are the reason I rated this 3 stars, so if you enjoy having two bright green alien eyes projected on your ceiling at night you could consider this a 4 star rating.
Two other minor negatives for me - this takes up yet another AC outlet rather than using USB via the PS3, and sometimes you have to wiggle the controllers a bit to get them to make contact with the base.
 Excellent Charger, and quality May 12, 2008
This charger does the job. Good quality, good looks, and keeps your controllers charged. What else to ask for.
 WARNING: Product Failed After Less Than Two Months May 9, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was happy with this product until it suddenly stopped working after a little less than two months of continuous use.
I'm not sure if I just got a lemon or this failure is indicative of a wider-spread problem, but it might be worth considering alternatives if you're looking to purchase a charger for your PS3 controller(s).
Nyko Powerstation 2 May 6, 2008
This Powerstation is just so easy, a caveman can figure it out. Just put the attachment on the back side of the controller, and drop it in. Unlike the first powerstation. Where you have to line up the USB connecter with the plug. It is so much easier to just drop it in then line everything up and push it in.
 Works well but the lights... May 2, 2008
This works as designed, it's easy to put the controllers in and take them out. I just leave the little adapters on the controllers and it's fine. The lights, on the other hand, are so bright. Why does every gadget need such bright lights? I would like to see a model that holds 4 controllers. I had to buy two of these instead. Or at least maybe they could allow you to chain them together.
