Questions & Answers

Is Nintendo's license for this official?

No, I do not believe so. Only the tablet USB 3.0 has worked for me in the past. It is now official that the 0 charger exists. For accessories, the majority of third-party chargers, including Amazon basics, work well.

Is it necessary for the controllers to slide along a track or can they simply rest in the hole?

The controllers are slid into a short track. While they're charging, it keeps them stable.

Is it possible to use an ac adapter to plug the charging cord into the wall?

The Switch does not come with an AC adapter, and the cord is extremely short; it is intended to be plugged into the Switch docking station. I'm pretty sure an AC adapter with a standard USB A port would work, but I haven't tried it yet.

If the battery is full, does it automatically shut off the charger?

When they're finished, the lights turn red, but I'm not sure if it actually stops charging, so I simply unplug it. It charges in a flash.

A true lifesaver! This product will save your life! It's so convenient to be able to charge all (four) of our joy-sticks at the same time
5/5

both pros and cons at the same time It also has status lights (red for charging, green for fully charged) and charges them quickly. It's compact and portable, making it simple to transport between my home and my boyfriend's. It is powered by a USB port. As a result, we connect it directly to the Switch's USB port. This is unquestionably a must-have item! br>br>***Please click the "Yes" button below if you found this review helpful! Thank you very much! ***.

Charging Station for Nintendo's Joy-Con
5/5

What I liked about it: This product has been in my possession for a short time and has performed as expected. When they're fully charged, the lights turn green, and when they're not, the lights turn red. I also like that it has a USB port, which means I can simply plug it into my switch, but I could also use an adapter to plug it into a wall. As a result, even if all of my USB ports are currently occupied, I can still use it in multiple locations. br>br>What I didn't like: I'm not sure what I didn't like about this product because it's a simple device with a simple design that works and isn't overly complicated. br>br>Conclusion: br>br> I'd suggest it.

This is an excellent charging station for your Joy-Birthday-Birthday Cons! AmazonBasics has returned with yet another excellent Switch accessory
5/5

br>br>The charging station feels very sturdy, and the rubber feet will definitely help it stay put wherever you want it. br>br>I've got two Joy-themed sets. When the cons were plugged in, they were fully charged. Each slot has its own status LED, which glows red when it's charging and green when it's fully charged. br>br>I simply keep the charging station next to my dock and plug it into one of the USB ports on the dock's side. It doesn't get much easier than that.

I connected it to a few devices as well as USB outlets
3/5

It wouldn't work when I plugged it into a few USB devices and outlets. Only when the Switch was plugged into the Switch dock and the Switch was in the dock did it work. Even back then, it was a pain to get it to work properly, and I had to fiddle with it. Overall, it has a cheap feel to it, and it is much larger than I anticipated.

This device is a must-have, especially if you have young children who use the Nintendo Switch through a television set-up
5/5

To charge the controllers, connect them to the Nintendo Switch, then release the button and slide them off to use them - That's just waiting for something to go wrong. All you have to do with this charging station is set it down on the base, and you're done! I no longer have to be concerned about breaking the device or the controllers. Awesome!.

After a year, the project was deemed unsuccessful
3/5

At first, it worked perfectly, but after a while, it started acting up and wouldn't charge the joycons unless I unplugged and replugged it. Then it would take more than one unplug/replug to get it working again, until it eventually stopped working altogether. br>br>It worked fine while it was on, but I believe the layout could be more compact, so I will not be purchasing this model again. Instead, I'll get one that lines up the joycons in pairs, which I believe is a little smaller overall.

It's all garbage
3/5

When connecting the controller to the base station, you may need to jiggle the controller around a bit to get the contacts to touch and charge your controller. Although the base station appears to be sturdy, the contact that connects the controllers appears to be cheap and flimsy.

They're finicky when it comes to food
4/5

These are the results - as well as the fact that you get what you pay for. I have to be careful about which remotes I place in which slots - Because the contacts don't always work with all remotes, for whatever reason. As a result, you may find yourself moving remotes from one slot to the next in order to arrange them so that _all 4_ can charge at the same time; however, the incorrect arrangement means that some will not charge while others do.
