Questions & Answers

What is the charging time for this dock? How long does it take for a controller to be fully charged?

Approximately six hours to get from a fully depleted state to a fully charged state.

Does this really need to be done? As far as i know, the switch charges when it's docked It simply does not make sense to me because of all its cons. ?

My first time using the website, I would answer I recommend you take a look at this product. In my case, docking my switch and playing from the TV through HDMI cables is my preferred method. So I was getting my Nintendo Switch charged, but the joycons were not able to work. It was the opposite for the cons. The dock is what prompted me to consider getting it. As a bonus, I can continually switch between joy and sorrow A con of using all my products is that they will not last as long. In addition, I can play with guests when I wish to do so. Please note that this was a quick response to your question. Thanks so much.

Can you tell me the amount of amps required by ?

The USB connector type 2 (standard USB 2). The number zero). For the best function, you should always plug your switch into the dock to ensure its proper operation.

What is the significance of the date March 31? Does it serve as a placeholder or an actual release ?

As far as I can tell, this is a placeholder. As I prepared for When I ordered it, it said the order was There are also other sites that list the release date as 3/3.

The aesthetics score is 5, while the reliability score is 1
3/5

Especially pleased with the aesthetics of the dock, I found it to be an outstanding product. It is a joyful experience There are a few cons that pop in pretty easily, nonetheless, the product is very well made and very sturdy. An issue, however, has arisen after about a month of use when one of the slots has When I removed the bottom of the car to see what had come loose, I was hoping it was a quick fix, but that didn't turn out to be the case. Almost the entire side of the dock was covered in corrosion, so it must have happened from the inside because it rests on a small shelf between two other gaming systems in the corner of the room, so it has no way of getting wet without breaking the rest of the system. The powerA team will hopefully be able to supply a replacement product.

We have the lights on, but nobody is in the room
3/5

I had this unit working great for the first 3 months, and then it just died on the right. Now only the left joystick is working. Those in charge of con controllers will be charged. On that side, the lights aren't coming on anymore. At first, the back left side was broken. Here are some instances where I would prefer a brick and mortar store, because I could return it for a refund. The money's out of my reach now.

This project took almost two months to complete
3/5

I was told the led had gone out after almost 2 months. Currently, there is no way to tell whether the controller is recharging. We're disappointed in PowerA as we're used to their products lasting longer. There is a chance that this will be a disaster. It was still possible to send back in after June 2, so it lasted 22 days after the date of return.

The company and its product are 100% garbage, avoid them at all costs
3/5

The manufacturer does not honor the I had no problems charging the rear right dock for nearly a week before it In this case, I would remove the controller from the slot and replace it with the same controller As soon as you insert it again, it will begin to charge, but only for a short period of time before it stops working. Now, a year after the dock was built, only one port actually charges for service. Assuming that you are using a stock Nintendo power adapter, connecting it to the dock would result in the dock constantly waking up and going to sleep every few seconds, which I cannot imagine being good for either the console or the dock. It has been weeks since I contacted support, and I have so far been ignored. I would strongly urge you to avoid this product/company. The following update

I received a response from PowerA about my support request on their website. They say they will send a new unit out. I will update this review once it has been received. After I submitted my original ticket, it took over 2 months for them to respond.

I was unable to connect the USB end
3/5

I purchased this for my son to use during a long car ride, and after unplugging it from the switch it broke off leaving the metal USB end still attached. The glove had to be pulled out manually This turned out to be a success! This is the first time I have used it, and I am Replace me with a new one.

Do not let go of your joy- Charged and organized by the cons
5/5

Despite the fact that it doubles as a charger, I went completely bonkers and bought all the neon Joy-Con chargers I could find The cons are. As soon as they were charged and organized, things became complicated. Both of those issues are addressed by this charging station, and I can charge up to four mobile devices simultaneously. As long as the joy lasts- In order to avoid problems caused by overcharging, I unplug the dock (just in case) and store it in I am adding two more Joys- One of the controllers is charged using the Switch, and the other two are stored with the Joy-Con Charger not included in Con Grip. As you can see in the attached image, there are 4 Joy-giving-sails Dock can be mounted right next to television on TV stand and it's tidier than other docks. It doesn't take up much space and I like how it keeps everything tidy.

The Switch is the perfect match
5/5

There are a lot of products available nowadays, but this is an "official" Nintendo product with an amazing design and feel. The other product I tried had transparent light bars that will light up, but it felt flimsy and the bars are way too bright, enough to light up Cell Block B, and are on all the time regardless of whether When the PowerA one is charging, the LEDs are red, green when it is full, and off when there is no power connected. The LEDs aren't bright enough to be noticed when they are off.

Value that is solid
4/5

Chargers such as this work well, and they are good quality. Build quality is excellent, and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Due to the fact that when you dock a Switch, it changes from green to red (fully charged JoyCons) when it's docked. Those using the Switch dock as a power source would not be affected by this, but I am concerned that the charger may be overcharging my JoyCons, which seems bad for their So far, no trouble has been reported by anyone, but this is not the only reviewer to spot it.
