It plugs into a wall outlet for it's power which is ideal to keep controllers fully charged and ready to go. Controllers just fall into position and start charging. I would have liked for it have a USB port to charge headphones, but I'm still happy with it."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "If you've ever used aftermarket PS charging docks for previous systems, they have tended to be clunky and require the controller to be held at just the right angle and clicked into place. That's no longer the case here! The PS5 controller drops right into place and makes contact without clicking in. No more fighting the adapters!\n\nAs you can see, the dock follows the same style as the console. It almost looks like a mini-PS5 when viewed from above. The adapter plugs in under the backside and the cord is plenty long to reach power behind my tv. Looks very nice when cradling the controller as well.\n\nNot much else to say about it. This dock charges controllers with no fuss, and it's not a big ugly contraption taking up space on my tv stand. Next-gen is here, and it's HOT."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Compliments the PS5 design wonderfully. Works perfectly.\n\nXBox should take note of this and offer an official rechargeable controller base. Non-rechargeable batteries should be a thing of the past by now.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This thing is great. Doesn't take up much space and charges fast and easy. I added a headphone stand from Etsy."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I had trouble acquiring one of the official Sony DualSense charging stations so I initially bought a cheap 3rd party charging dock that required you to plug the top USB-C port into the dock on each controller. It worked OK but getting controllers in and out of the dock required quite a bit of force and the dock itself looked ostentatious. I upgraded and got the official charging station and it is so much better. Controllers can be docked and undocked very easily and "snap" into place to begin the charging process. Additionally, since this sits in my living room and not a dedicated gaming/theater room, the dock itself looks much more unassuming.\n\nGreat purchase, it\'s not for everyone (do you need to spend $30 for a controller holder that will charge as well) but I am very happy with it.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This is the charging station to get for your PS5 DualSense Controllers. Made by Sony for their product, it does everything as it should. It charges two controllers at the same time or one at a time, does it pretty quickly and matches the PS5 console in style. Placing the controller on the charging notch is mostly intuitive and there is a minimally-audible click when it’s been placed correctly. It does require a little practice though, but that’s a minor quibble. The only thing that the charging station lacks is a visual indication on the station itself that the controllers are charging and finished charging. However, the controllers themselves glow by design when charging, so that’s really not needed. As of June 1, 2021, this item continues to be in very high demand and it can still be difficult to actually buy for MSRP. Still, don’t hesitate to buy this if you see that it’s available for regular price or less. Tip: If you’re still having trouble getting it for MSRP, then buy one of the lowest priced 3rd party charging stations instead. Then get this when it comes available for regular price. This way you will probably spend less in the long run than paying an exorbitant marked up price for the Sony charging station.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Decided to buy this charger on a whim when it came back in stock. I’m so glad that I did. The DualSense is an amazing controller but its battery life is quite disappointing. I often found myself having to plug in and charge my controller mid gaming session. Though this was my fault for not charging between sessions. Now I leave my controller on this charging station whenever I’m not gaming. This guarantees that my controller is always fully charged when I’m ready to play. It also provides a cool looking and convenient stand for my DualSense (rather than on the coffee table with a 10 foot cable tethered to the console). I’m really happy with the charging station and feel the $30 is well worth the added convenience and the assurance of a full charge.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Its not important but the item comes pack the same as a PS5 & I personally like this packing system. A thin outer box with the item packed in a heavy cardboard inner box. Meaning the charger is well protected during transport & arrives in A+ condition. The charger is powered with a standard “infinity” cord that plugs into a small transformer the size of a PSP or PS Vita charger with a lead that ends with a small barrel connector. The connector fits into the chargers bottom through a small gap in the rear. The charger sets flat & can be set flush against a back wall if necessary. The charger is heavy. At least heavy for its size & intent. I had anticipated it would turn over easily but it doesn’t & connecting a controller is a breeze. Just set the controller on top & with a little movement it will click into position. MUCH better than the Official PS4 charger. So 5 stars all around & im usually a cynic with console accessories because most are junk & unnecessary. So if you need a charger for you PS5 controllers this is a solid, easy to use, good looking & quality choice.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I was experiencing problems with the Factory USB cable from my PS5. It was randomly losing connectivity. So when I looked at purchasing a new Sony brand name USB replacement they were $20! This is such a better deal, and I've noticed that my controllers battery life have been noticeably better then charging them with my PS5. They're incredibly easy to dock for charging. And each controllers battery level is the only charged as needed. Now I no longer have to leave my PS5 in rest mode just to charge controllers, Absolutely fantastic!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This genuine Sony charging dock is by far the most superior design out if all of the cheaper 3rd party options available. For $29.99 (retail price) it's really great value! Comes with its own power supply so it is standalone from the PS5 console. Charges controllers quickly and maintains the charge on one or both controllers so they're always ready to go when you're ready to play. The charging dock also charges via the charge contacts on the bottom of the controller instead of the USB C port, which makes it easy to just pop on there when you're done gaming and just as easy to take off again when you're ready to go. The design is quite nice and in tune with the PS5 and Dual Sense Controller design. They all mesh together seamlessly. Don't wait! Get one when they're available as they seem to sell out almost instantly."}]
