Insignia™ - Joy-Con Charging Station for Nintendo Switch - Black

This is by far the most convenient way to charge all of your Joy-Cons at once. Although it's not a necessity for charging (the controllers can be charged simply by connecting them to the console), I find that this is the easiest way to keep track of all of your Joy-Cons at once by keeping them in the same place. And it even has a spare USB port to plug another device into (for me, I charge the Pro Controller with that port, but it also could charge a smart-phone of other device).

It was awesome getting the switch home and playing with it until of course that first time your Joy Con run out of power...... I mean the hand held option is great but then what happens when the console and the Joy Con both need to be charged at the same time? Hang out on the short power cable they made for the switch? NO get an extra pair of Joy Con and this bad boy and you are all set. Love that I can leave it hanging out to charge anything by USB using the bottom port. I also like the round configuration of this one vs. the Nintendo licensed brand which looks more square.

I ended up getting this charger by impulse as I didn't even know it existed. While walking at Best Buy I saw it and decided it was something I wanted to give a try. It looks great next to my Switch, and it is an awesome combination of functionality and decoration. I have the original gray joycons on my Switch but also the blue and neon yellow ones, which now can be charged and displayed on this rotating charger. It also has a USB port for me to charge the pro controller at its base, so the whole package.

This charging station is pretty awesome to have around compared to the Nintendo licensed one. The original charging station is stationary whereas the Insignia charging station spins around to show you multiple angles of all connected devices. It even has a USB connection at the base for any USB related charging! I use the base USB to charge my Pro Controller.

This I picked up because it came bundled with my Nintendo Switch. I gotta say its neat to have a dock to place your Joy Cons and also have an extra USB port to charge whatever else you have. But if you only have one pair of Joy Cons you probably don't need this as your Joy Cons charge when you leave your Nintendo Switch charging. Only buy this is you plan on having more Joy Cons.

Switch multiplayer is better with additional controllers (so that players can use L and R rather than turning a single controller sideways), but adding controllers then presents the problem of how to keep them all charged. This charging station is an effective and easy solution to that problem. Dwindling battery life be gone! And just in time for holiday family Switch battles.

This was a free item for buying the Switch. I personally do not like the joycons. This item will do just what the picture insinuates, charge joycon controllers. My guess is that for some, this is a great way to charge the micro controller (imo), while not fumbling with switch while it is in dock mode. Perfect for that! Item is functional, although not something I use.

People may be worried about third party items like this bricking their Switch but this does not. Hate having your joycons die when playing while docked? This is the answer. Will charge any configuration of joycons. I have three left and one right, doesn’t matter, either side will fit in any slot.
