For anyone who has at least two wireless controllers, but hates either changing out old batteries, or plugging in your controller to charge the battery via USB, you should get this.
It charges your controller overnight, and the battery will last for up to 30 hours before it needs a charge. Once the batter is done charging, the charger stops so you don't have to worry about overcharging or wasting energy or whatever. Also, it has a USB port in the front, in case you need to charge your phone or mp3 player or what-have-you.
I got mine free with the PowerUp Rewards program points, but it's only $30 regardless, and it comes in both white and black. Do it. You'll be glad you did.

When I got this station it thought it would be pricy and it was ( 35 bucks) but it comes with two charging ports and a separate portable charger that connects to the station by USB connection which you can charge and play at the same time. If you just want to charge the controller on the station you can play about 10 or more hours straight and the charge status will have at least three of fours bars left and you would only have to charge the controller for about 6-8 minutes! This charging station is worth.

I bought the charge station today, and I already love it. It not only charges the controllers, but it stores them to keep them out of the way. Overall, great product

I've had this charge base for over 2 to 3 years now and I can say that these batteries still last very long. The problem with most rechargeable batteries is that they hold a little less charge each time they become recharged, but I have yet to be interrupted mid-game with a prompt to reconnect my controller. Based on how long it has lasted, the price is also very excellent. Most products cannot be used for this long and still function properly, like the Xbox. The only thing I have noticed is that special controllers, like a pair of Halo Reach controllers I had, have a little trouble fitting the battery pack in, but it should never be a serious problem. Great product!!!

This product is an absolute necessity for each and every gamer. I never have batteries around my house so I always have to wait until I run to the store to pick the batteries up. This Nyko product changed everything! This has saved me a lot of money over the past year-or-so I have had it; it is worth the already little cost. You invest $30 for it, but the investment pays off because that is how much you will spend every 6 months on batteries. The battery packs feel lightweight and small compared to the standard Xbox360 pack, which is great. All-in-all, this is one product you cannot miss out on! Why are you reading this review? GO ORDER IT, NOW!!!

This device is perfect for me. I can leave my controller in the base and not have to worry that my battery will die during use. i plan on buying more of these. it is an extremely good price for the purchase.

I am so glad we bought this item. My son is constantly on the XBox 360 and buying batteries is a pain when he goes through them so quickly. We have had this charger for over a year now and never had any troubles with it. We just ordered another because someone stole his last one. :( Anyways, I highly recommend this charger to anyone and everyone who is a everyday player. You can't go wrong saving money on batteries, and the charge on the controllers lasts a long long time. Very thrilled with the performance of this item. Nyko, great job! Game Stop, great job for carrying this product!

This is the best controller charger for any kind of remote. i mean the battery life on each thing is so long and nice and also the aditional feature where the LED light lights up when it is done charging. I just wanted to know if anyone know if it will work for the Halo 4 edition. i know it hasnt come out yet but still

This thing seems good at first, but I've had it for about 9 months, and it breaks my controllers. The battery pack is slightly large for the controller- small enough to fit in the controller, but bigger than a normal Microsoft battery pack. Basically what happens is this: the pack acts like a wedge and pushes on the base of the battery holder, causing it to start cracking over time. When my first controller (A limited edition silver controller) cracked, I thought it was because I bought it used from GameStop and thought the employees hadn't done a good job of inspecting the controller before accepting the trade in. It eventually cracked to the point that it won't even hold the batteries in, even with tons of duct tape. Then, my second controller started cracking, and I knew that it was the charge base, because I bought it brand new. Long story short, you may save a few bucks when you purchase these, but you end up shelling out another 50 when it breaks your controllers. Good luck if you decide to buy.

Did you buy this product for yourself or someone else? For me
So i got this cause i was sick of spending roughly 30$ a month on batteries for my gaming gear (not just 360 controllers). now, i spend maybe 10 bucks every other month (5 a month) on batteries. So i save about 25$ a month. Yes i play frequently, but not as much as others. I probably average about 3 hours a day. I'd like to play more, but a full time job and family pulls me away.____________________Now lets talk features shall we? I got the "play n charge" kit before this for 20$ then saw this online n said "why not spend another 10 so i can charge both at the same time?" boy am i glad i went through with it. Things to note. the play n charge kit plugs into the controller from the console. This is both a pro and con. THe pro is that you can play while charging, the con is that you can only charge when your xbox is on. I have a dog so a wired controller would be ripped out of the console if she walks by, so i dislike a wired controller even if only charging it for an hour or two. This stand on the other hand, you can't play games while using the controller. However, you can charge it without the 360 since it plugs directly into the wall. This means basically anytime you take a break, or leave your game, just set it and forget it. The plug will plug into the mic outlet of the controller, and or the outlet at the bottom of the keypad (if you have the keypad expansion). This stand however, you have to detatch the keypad every time you place it on the stand, otherwise it won't sit. This is an issue for me as i use my keypad a lot, and you have to force the dang thing on/off the controller so hard it seems like you are about to break it. Small con, and also it's the only real con in my opinion. The stand itself is a very solid plastic that i have sitting in a cubby next to my xbox. From what i've heard the "rechargable battery packs" die after a while. i don't mean die as in lose power, i mean die as in won't hold a charge any more. Being that this is a design/product related to microsoft, i can't say i'm supprised. My game time has yet to have me replace them, but a 10$ pack once every year or so is a lot cheaper then 30$ every month (360$ every year). i highly recommend this to anyone interested in saving a few bucks.

I got this product in the newer black model for the xbox slim and it works flawlessly. The battery life is great, the design is sleek and complements the xbox well.

This charger is very great and it saves you the amount for buying batteries for the controller. The battery life is at least 25 hours which is very great! It also charges two batteries at a time.

I have had the nyko base for some 2 years now and it and the Nyko batteries are going strong! I went thru 3 microsoft batteries before making the switch and havent went back.. You cannot lose with this charging station and the Nyko batteries!

I got the charge base for myself so I would not have to keep getting a new set of batteries every time they died. So far no problems have had the base for about a year and a half, still holds it's charge as good as when i first got it. I would recommend using the charge pack until it dies and if you have 2 controllers just switch out the batteries and put the controller you don't use back on the base. Switch takes less than 20 seconds. My only problem is that you HAVE to have some sort of weight on top of the battery to push it down to start charging. But it isn't a problem for me, so i give it a 10.
