HORI Joy-Con Cradle Charge Stand for 4 Joy-Cons - Nintendo Switch - Officially Licensed

I bought the product rather than charging in pairs (family of four) and swapping around. Its small and compact and easy to use and keeps the gaming area tidy. Family and friends are pleased when the joy-con’s are fully charged and ready to go!

Bought it for our son to charge his Joycons. Works well and charges via the switch docks USB port

The charger is study, works as intended, and the charging LEDs are thankfully not glaringly bright!Two small problems to make it 4/5 instead of 5/5:1) It's quite stiff inserting/removing joycons from the charger, meaning you have to steady it with your hand.2) The supplied cable is very short. Fine if you charge it from your Switch dock, perhaps. But something of a pain if you have it anywhere else.

Great! Looks good & works perfectly. This Hori version has much better build quality than the PowerA joy-con charger.Unlike the PowerA version, I like the fact that when charged the Hori charger LEDs turn OFF. If like me, you hate those annoying LEDs which stay on all the time (especially when in a dark room watching a movie etc), then this is the one to go for.

Product is exactly as it says it is, works perfectly to charge 4 of my Nintendo joy stick controls with its built in usb charge cable , each control point flashes red when charging and stops when fully charged,

Not the cheapest option, but works really well.Status light comes on the top of each port when charging to indicate it’s in progress, then goes off when fully charged.Nice little accessory

Initially this would not work when hooked up to my (original release) switch dock, but it did work when hooked up to wall socket USB ports. When plugged into the dock the lights would flash on then stay off, but would stay on when plugged into the wall. I wanted to use this plugged directly into the switch so planned to return it.I was boxing this up to send it back to Amazon when I noticed the instruction leaflet that comes in the box had a link/QR code to the full instructions on the Hori website. When I checked them out I discovered there was a firmware update that could be applied via a PC. Once I had downloaded that and applied it to the dock (the tool is 1 button click) I can confirm that it's now lighting up and charging the joy-cons that need it. The light goes off when the controller is fully charged.The top review (from 2017) commented that it's difficult to get the controllers off the dock, but that's not my experience. I don't know if they changed the design since then, but there is literally no resistance when pulling the joy-cons off with the version I have.

On comparison to the other Nintendo licensed Power A dock (I tried my friend’s one), I think this this fell short.The Power A version allows cable tidy under the base, which may or may not appeal to some. The main drawback for me on the Hori version is on the light indicators, it only shows red whereas the Power A version shows green when it has finished. One might argue that as long as the red light goes on full charge then it is ok. But if it was not slot in to the dock fully the lights won’t come on too ... so it is definitely not perfect.The docking slot connections on the Power A feels smoother too but that might be my bias!Overall I wish I had pick the other one but it is still doing what it meant to do so can’t complain.
