 Best product ever! November 22, 2009
Byakuya (Ohio)
This is the best addon I've ever purchased for my Xbox 360. No more worries about batteries! Just put the controllers back when you're done, and you're good to go for next time. This thing is GREAT!

Great charger; makes xbox much more enjoyable without the hassel of changing out double A batteries. The indicator lights are easy to understand; fits two controllers; looks good next to your XBOX 360.

Eustacio Ortiz (Portland, OR United States)
Frankly I wasn't expecting a whole lot for the low price I payed. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived and was much sturdier than I expected. It has a nice pleasant weight to it. The charger included two rechargable batteries, something a lot of chargers didn't, which was very nice. The charger also holds the controllers well and makes solid contact with the contacts on the batteries without having to jiggle it every time. The only thing that could make it better would be labeling to let you know which indicator light is for which controller as I forget half the time. Great product, great price.
This charger kicks butt!!!! October 25, 2009

This is so much better than the Microsoft one, don't bother with the crappy Quick Charge Kit!!
Awesomeness (charge base)
-Nice place to put your controllers when not in use, always charged!
-never have to take out the batteries...but if you're at a friends house and you bring your controllers for whatever reason, they can be charged by the Microsoft kit, so you don't have to lug around the charge base if you don't want to
-LED indicators for when the charge is complete and charging
-Battery life is really good, the Microsoft batteries aren't any better, if they are, it's such a small difference. These batteries have lasted me weekend Halo parties while Microsoft batteries have needed to be charged. (My batteries were brand new and I don't know how old the other batteries were so this isn't necessarily a good benchmark) but regardless, the batteries are high quality.
-Charges two batteries, same as the Micro$oft
-ridiculously fast charging, I've gone from completely depleted battery to full charge within 1.5 - 2 hours. Even if you don't charge fully, a 30 min quick charge will give you plenty of juice for a couple hours.
Crapness (Microsoft)
-no place to put the controller
-take out the batters which is just annoying and pointless
-great battery life, but no better than the Nyko ones
-more expensive!!!!!!
-slower charging than this.
In conclusion, this charge base is FAR superior than the Microsoft charging...stand thingy.

I actually got this in a set package with an Intecooler TS and an XBox 360 HDMI cable at Sam's Club for about $43.
Pros:
-Easy to set up.
-Charges quickly so you can get back to gaming as soon as possible.
Cons:
-Will only work with batteries made by Nyko.
-Don't know where to get batteries that are compatible when the two that came with it eventually stop carrying a charge.
-Requires the battery to be in the controller in order to charge. Not the big of a deal; it's better for your system to give it a break every some often :-).
It's a horse-a-piece, really. I wouldn't pay $30 for it, but in set packages like the one I found are worth it.
