Customer Reviews
Does what its supposed to but....
I guess this item does what it is supposed to which is provide a place to put 4 controllers and gives you 4 rechargeable batteries. But,as others have mentioned it is tied to the Wii unit so it has to sit by it. The lights on it are REAL bright providing a distraction all the time. My main gripe is if you power down the Wii you also power down the recharger so you pretty much need to leave your Wii on all the time if you want charged controllers. I wouldn't buy it again and wouldn't recommend it, but I ain't going through the hassle of sending it back.
Not what I expected
First of all, if you use the silicone cover on your Wii controllers you have to take it off to charge it. I was very aggravated by this.
Second the thing is powered via USB port which means you have to hook it up to a computer or the Wii system itself. I bought this product thinking I could plug it into the wall and keep it next to my sofa but no, I have to keep it by the computer instead.
Finally to top it off one of the ports does not work very well. I had to jiggle the controller around in it to get it to charge and it frequently would loose connection.
After a couple of days with this product the faulty port stopped working entirely leaving me with three charge ports and four controllers so I gave up and returned it.
Very nice, but seems to have loose connection.
So far it works great, except that you often have to move/jiggle the cable to get it to make contact for all of the charging bays. You have to remove the gel sleeves and the motion-plus attachment, but not the wrist strap. We've found that if you just pull the wrist strap up tightly and place the wii-mote in the charging bays the contact is almost always good to go.
