- Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2021So my first shipment was perfect. No issues, no weight breaking internal components and in perfect new shape. The NES online controllers fit perfectly and charge perfectly as you can see from the picture. If you put them in and notice they are not charging (like I did), swap them around from left to right as they are not on the correct side.
Also if you charge all 3 at one time and decide to turn on all 3 of them at once to check their power readings in the Controller menu you will notice that not all 3 will charge at the same time. The base only has enough power to charge all 3 of them when they are off, not powered on (which makes sense... No one should use the controllers docked to this stand...)
Note also all 3 devices get a green light when fully charged as seen in the picture.
Overall great product and one of the only stands that holds the NES online controllers nicely and securely. When it works and you get a good undamaged one it works great!

- Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2018I really like this product, it works just as intended and give a cool display to my joy-cons and pro controller. I have 2 pair of joy-cons and I desperately needed something to keep both pairs charged alongside my pro controller. I really like the look of the stand, and the company give you multiple designs depending on your favorite franchises which is a plus! As expected the stand charges your controllers, the joy-cons don’t make the clicking noise just like on the Switch, but it doesn’t matter, they still fit perfectly. Keep in mind, you will need to put the provided “contact thingy” on the pro controller to make it charge on the stand (see pictures). I personally find the contact kinda distracting because I touch it with my fingers when I’m waiting during a cutscene, but it’s not annoying in any way. I have read many reviews that concerned me, saying that one of the joy-cons would not charge, but I took a leap of faith and bought this stand, and in the end, I’m glad I did!

- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2018Have joycons that needed a solution and then I also bought the pro controller so I settled on this. I received a defective charger initially. When I pulled it out of the box I noticed a couple little broken plastic pieces floating around. Then when I picked it up I could feel/hear all of its internal parts moving around. I assumed it was broken but I did test it anyhow and of course the joycons wouldn’t charge. I got amazon two minutes later and requested a replacement. They shipped it immediately and I dropped the broken one off at UPS the next morning. I had the replacement 2 days later and it’s in mint condition. Works perfectly. Easy to set up. Easy to use. Somewhat compact as well. I went through this entire explanation to point out that the customer service was great and it was no problem to get a working device so the person who gave a poor review for the same issue clearly just likes to complain. Just saying.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2019I ordered this after I purchased the pro controller so I could easily charge both that and my joy cons. The first dock they sent me had the issue where the weight fell off from the bottom and was rattling around inside. This must have damaged the wires as only one joycon charger worked. I sent it back and received a replacement within a week. A few weeks later, I traveled for work and took my switch/pro controller. I lost the adapter that allows the pro controller on my trip and because of this had no way to charge the pro controller with this dock. I emailed PowerA about this to see if I could purchase the adapter and they replied back saying they would replace it for free! They mailed me two of the adapters (it took about a week for them to respond but excellent customer service overall). I cannot recommend them more as a company!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2023Bought 4; they're incredibly easy and straightforward to use. The 3 that work work well. The one in the back right corner broke after about 3 months (light is on despite not having any devices, devices attached to the charger won't charge and the light stays on even if the charger is unplugged and plugged back in). The rest work well enough that I'm buying a replacement. Hopefully it was just a fluke.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2018Since I have an extra pair of controllers and a pro controller, this device is both helping me to keep everything neat and in one place, and also recharge them so I don't have to fiddle with the console or swap controllers to charge them.
Just as note, the pro controller connector is a plastic piece that you need to add on top of it; just LEAVE IT CONNECTED! I noticed that it is pretty flimsy and with time, if you plug and unplug it, you may end up breaking it. It does not bother me while playing, it is a very small plastic plug so I just leave it in the controller connector.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2021This charger works well. The design where the controller sits upright vertically (instead of upside down like most 3rd party charger docks for the Switch Pro Controller) is a much better solution, and holds the controller securly. The connection dongle just stays plugged into the controller and doesn't interfere at all with game play. Plus its the only Pro Controller charge dock licensed by Nintendo, so if something were to damage the controller because of the charging dock, Nintendo would cover the controller under its warranty. The only drawback is the dock only does one pro controller (and one pair of JoyCons) at a time, so I needed to purchase two for my gaming needs. Still a good overall solution, and makes for a more organized and neater connection scheme for the Switch System.

5.0 out of 5 stars Imprescindible!
Siempre es a la hora de jugar cuando nos damos cuenta que nos queda poca batería en el mando. ¡Pues se acabo! Con esta base eso ya no va a pasar. En mi caso la uso solo para cargar el mando Pro, pero si tienes unos Joy-Con adicionales, podrás cargarlos todos a la vez. El funcionamiento de la base es sencillo. Los Joy-Con se enganchan directamente en el espacio para ellos y ya esta, no hay que hacer mas, empieza la carga. Para el mando es necesario ponerle el pequeño adaptador que viene en la caja en el puerto USB-C de carga. Para cargarlo, solo con posarlo bastará. Hay que tener la precaución de dejar el mando bien puesto en la base, ya que para que empiece la carga el adaptador tiene que entrar en contacto con los pines en el fondo de la misma. Funciona bien, aunque se hubiese agradecido que el adaptador respetase mejor el contorno del mando, ya que no se ajusta a la perfección. Si tenéis alguna duda revisad mis fotos.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've got two of them now!
It's really sad that it's so hard to find now because it's arguably still the best charging station I've owned.
Not only does it have a similar style to the original Switch Dock and has a similar plastic and logo on front so it fits in, but it works absolutely perfect and just needs to be connected via USB to you're Switch dock so it's not using a plug socket.
I bought one of these years ago, lucky to find this in 2024 because nowhere sells it like it used too and I hope Power A makes a similar style charging station for whatever Nintendo console comes next!
