 Awkward design, delicate to use Sep 30, 2010
By Bruce Carlson
The idea of a single powered port to charge all three of the Playstation Move's DualShock3/SixAxis controller, Move controller and Navigation controller sounds like a perfect trifecta. The slim external power supply plugs into the wall AC outlet as usual. The Move Controller stands vertical in a depression, allegedly supported by a couple of spring-loaded pressure pads around the circular port. It's not very stable and has a tendency to fall over at the slightest disturbance, such as when plugging the DualShock3/SixAxis controller into its charging port, but it does charge. The Navigation controller doesn't have enough weight to seat firmly in either charge port, and only charges if I stand there and press down lightly on it. (It would appear a second Move controller could charge in the second spot instead of the Navigation controller, if you have two Move controllers and no Navigation controller.) The Dualshock3/Sixaxis controller connects firmly to a fixed mini-USB plug on the device and charges fine (might have been more convenient for that mini-USB plug to be on the opposite side from the power cord, so the power could go off to the rear and the Dualshock controller could plug into the easily accessible front, but that's a small point.)
There are bright LED lights ringing the two Move controller charge ports, which change colors according to charge. That's a useful indicator, but it's so bright it illuminates a darkened room like a night light.
Summary: Charges the Dualshock3 and Move controllers fine, has trouble with the lighter-weight Navigation controller.

 Too fragile Oct 14, 2010
By Norns
The tiny metal contacts that touch the base of the Move controllers that are necessary for charging broke off after only 2 weeks of use. I guess you get what you pay for.

 Good product with a small annoyance Oct 02, 2010
By dpearson588
I figured this would be a good addition to my new Move set up. The playstation eye takes up one of the two usb ports on the slim PS3 so you are left with the option of only charging one other controller at a time. This item circumvents that problem by allowing me to charge 3 controllers without the system on.
Like another review stated, the system is kind of delicate to the touch. I don't have the navigation controller so I cannot confirm that problem, but the Move controllers took a little finagling to get on the charger. Once you set it in there correctly with a little force they stay in and charge fine. I found the wrist strap can easily get in the way. It is very handy having the port on the back to charge the dual shock as well.
My main problem with this device is the LEDs used to indicate what state the charge is in. They are very bright and stay on as long as the station is plugged in. If the controllers are charged or no controllers are present the lights are a bright blue, when the controllers are charging they are bright red. This is annoying when watching tv (I placed the station behind the tv to hide it) and when it is dark in the room. I wish there was a way to turn those off or completely remove them. I've come to the conclusion to just unplug it when it's not really in use. There is no real point to have the controllers constantly plugged into the wall or have the lights constantly on anyway.
Overall I would recommend this product other than the slight annoyance with the lights. It is a nice way to charge everything at once and a nice stand for the Playstation Move controllers to stay in while they are not in use.

 Satisfied. Jan 12, 2011
By Buck
I read through the reviews and I was worried about the stability of the controllers while charging. I am currently living in a dorm room which should give you a fairly well image of the conditions of which the stand is at. I am able to bump the desk that it is and although the charging station does wobble more than I'd like;however, it is very stable and i have yet to have a controller get knocked out of charging or fall off. I highly recommend this product.

Triple Port Charge Station -- Good for the price Jan 04, 2011
By F Lorente
The triple port charge station works as advertised and is an affordable option to the Sony branded charge station. I have been using this device for a few weeks now and I am satisfied with the purchase overall.
Only Complaint: I added an inexpensive outlet power switch in order to keep the unit powered down when not in use. This is a minor issue and is the only reason that I gave the unit 4 stars instead of 5.
