Customer Reviews

A great addition, but a few tweaks away from perfection
I'm much happier with the charge station over endlessly swapping out batteries in the Wii controllers, but there are a few minor tweaks I would make to the next revision:

1. Add a groove in the center of the remote cradle for the hand strap to rest. I can still charge with the handstrap attached, but it's a more tenuous way to place the charger in the dock. If I get bored one day a Dremel tool can fix that issue quickly :)

2. I don't use skins for my Wii controllers, but apparently they don't work well with the charge station. I wonder if creating the station to accommodate the skins and then having some snap-in sleeves for the naked controllers would work.

Junk
Bought this and one of the batteries would never connect/charge with the unit. I would say we simply received a defective battery except the other battery is hit and miss while charging. And yes, the cord is out of the way. I think I'll stick to rechargeable AA batteries.

Not worth it
Bought this when first got my Wii but it failed after 3 months. I spent a little more and bought the other recharging station that lets me charge the remote through the sleeves and that works much better. Plus the battery life lasts longer on that one.
