I’m trying to purchase a cooling station and not sure where on the controller the pins are located for charging? null

The charging pins are on the bottom of the controller near the charging port. Charging stations usually connect automatically when you place the controller on the dock.

Most cooling stations (especially ones that use a controller) don’t have external “pins” you plug into for charging. Instead, the controller either:

• Charges by sitting directly on the cooling station’s dock (pogo/magnetic pins are built into the base), or
• Charges through a standard port on the controller itself (usually on the bottom or back) like USB-C, Micro-USB, or Lightning, depending on the model.

If you’re not seeing visible pins on the controller, check:
	1.	The bottom edge of the controller
	2.	The back side near the center
	3.	Inside the cradle/dock area of the cooling station itself (that’s usually where the charging pins are)

Once the controller is placed into the cooling station correctly, it should start charging automatically and a light will normally turn on.

If you can, check the model name on the cooling station or controller — with that I can tell you the exact location.
