Questions & Answers

The charging station can be used with the series X controllers of the Xbox?

I am not sure if this was a simple update since last year, but I just got mine and there are two different types of battery covers per battery (so a total of four The only controllers I have are series x, and only one type of them works. And the other type of controller I assume is for Xbox one.

The part number matches the new 2021 version which will work with XSX/XSS controllers, but they are not listed in the specifications. What's the reason?

There was no update to the specs

Is it possible to purchase extra batteries or does a new docking station need to be purchased?

The answer to this question is not 100% certain. In the past I have tried to find replacement batteries for a different charger (Energizer, which I purchased a long time ago) and was unable to locate Even though I found random chargers at a low cost, buying a whole new charger was more expensive. As much as I would like to post a review, I cannot. I am in love with this system. The batteries are quick to charge and hold their charge very It went on sale again recently, so I will buy another one for my bedroom Xbox system when it comes back on sale.

How and why do I need two AAA batteries?

Batteries for mine did not come with AAAs. Those two rechargeables that go inside the controllers are all that's needed. It is plugged into a power source

This duo charger is the best for your Xbox One controller
5/5

Despite my long experience with HyperX, I still find it amazing. Their products are similar to those made by other companies, but they tweak them until they are With this chargeplay duo, you truly get near perfection, the build quality is great, the controllers fit perfectly, and they instantly charge when they make contact. In contrast to other charging docks, the controllers on the Astro Dock do not slide around and miss the charging contacts. My only issue is that there is only a white LED light for each controller to tell you whether it is charging or not. Once the charging cycle is complete, these lights go out, but I would like to know if the unit is overcharging or maybe if a green light is showing that the cycle is complete. If you're looking for a charger for your Xbox one controllers, I highly recommend this.

Well, thank you
3/5

I made hardware, but the lights are bothersome. I give this a high rating because it's very well-written When I first received it, I was very pleased with the quality of the hardware. It does have one major defect, however, which caused me to return There is an indicator light for charging.
When I saw the lights, I was annoyed by two things. In the top part of the console, between the controllers, they are located. Therefore, you may need to stand above the stand as well as to the side in order to check the charging status (since the controllers block the lights when looking straight-on). This could be a major inconvenience (it was for me) depending on your set up. Secondly, the light is extremely bright, and it blinks when it's This was due to the fact that my Xbox is in my bedroom, so the lights were blinking The lights above illuminated the ceiling as well, since they were positioned on top. I had to take the controller off the stand (which meant it was not charging) because it was so distracting.

The controller has excellent ergonomics, but does not work with the (new) Xbox 360 controller
5/5

I have tried a wide variety of chargers made by off-brand manufacturers, and I have had The company decided to scrap all the batteries and old systems in favor of It is too early to comment on battery life, etc. since I haven't purchased this device yet (Dec 2020), rather I can only In ergonomics With this charging station, you can charge any Xbox controller up to Xbox One X (the most recent last-generation model). The original Xbox Elite Controller also works with the Xbox Elite. The trick is to do it this way. With the paddles attached in the back. There are a number of charging stations that require those with the Elite model to remove the back paddles. Not this one. not sure about the Xbox Elite 2 since I haven't tested it, but I expect it to work. In addition, the charging station does not work with the new Xbox Series X and S Can you explain? As far as appearances are concerned, the format remains The Hyper-- on the other hand There's a problem with the battery cover tabs lining up with the new controller slots they don't line up at all. It may be possible for you to create something that works but working on that is not my cup of The following qualities must be met for building quality The plastic is of a very high quality. Despite its sturdy feet, the stand quickly aligns the controller with its charging points with the battery cover (there is no fussing around trying to line up things), and the batteries themselves are well-crafted and fit perfectly into the available slots. Upon activation, there is an LED indicator indicating when things are ready to proceed. It is a small quibble to say the light is flashing or solid white instead of solid. For me, turning red to green is not a big deal, but you might find it more important. The short version Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. This is a very well built machine. This controller does not work with the current generation of Xbox Core controllers. The controller works with the last gen standard controller and the Xbox Elite controller with You'll enjoy it.

Product is great, it works the way it should
5/5

In general, it does the job I need it to do, which is to keep my controllers charged and stopping me from going Approximately 18 to 20 hours of play time are available. So long as you remember to put it back on the cradle after you've finished playing, you should be good to go. I was able to install it fairly easily. On the middle of the battery pack, there are three little bars. As that is what charges, make sure it is facing out. In any case, it doesn't quite fit in the door. Otherwise it feels like it should close on it however, it doesn't. It would have been nice to have color options, as my only complaint is that it does not come with any. We bought a second controller in blue to go along with the white controller included with the Xbox One. Being faced with the black cover rather than the OEM matching one sometimes makes me twitch. Yet, I was able to move on. Updates will be made if needed, but two months have gone by and we are still.

I also use Eneloop batteries and they work just as well
5/5

The battery pack is even better than the one I used to use, which was eneloop batteries. This dock is great due to its compact size and looks very nice. Lots of people complain about the light, but you can't actually see it at all, it's just like the Xbox logo. The battery lasts for a very long time, does not discharge quickly, and while charging there is no overheating or other problems as when you charge a normal rechargeable battery.

This version of Elite Controller is not compatible
5/5

Unlike units that have MicroUSB, the dock has a DC port on the base, which is what I personally prefer to microUSB. There is, however, no proof that it works with Elite Elite 1 might have fit, but I had chosen Elite2 instead, so I had to return the There are a few downsides to this dock, including the price but the Included are batteries and black protective covers for use with this battery set. It would be a much better buy if it was compatible with both my husband's and my own.

I wish you a happy Hyper X family birthday! It's the same thing again with Hyper X
5/5

Their Cloud X headset is the best on the market, so I knew this charger would be the same. It could not be passed up for that price. The charger dock came with 2 batteries, 2 doors, and the batteries. I have noticed that the batteries last longer than I have with other brands. However, what it lacks in style, it makes up for in function! Hyper X, thanks for your help!.

A very solid device
5/5

I was able to charge my Xbox One X controller using this charger. Well made and sturdy, I think it's a nice unit. Batteries could be fully charged out of the box in just a few minutes, so they were ready to go out of the box. My battery hasn't been charged long enough to determine how long it will last. In the future, I will add yhat info to this review.
