It's a light show. The good and the bad of these recharging stations, they all have bright lights.

This Move Charge Station can charge any combination of up to 4 Move controllers - White Controller and / or the Navigation Controller. Doesn't matter what combination, they will all charge. Clear plastic receptacle for each controller has a slot in the back to accommodate the wrist strap and there are simple gold plated contacts in the bottom to do the charging. No need to push the controller onto a USB adapter, the contacts are spring loaded and work when you just set the controller into the socket.

The light show is pretty amazing. With no controllers in the base and the power button turned on, there is a pretty blue glow across the bottom of the base. Put in a controller and that light turns off, and the plastic glows red (like you see in the product picture). You'll notice the controller LED flashing red while the unit charges. Once the controller is fully charged, the plastic socket turns white.

This unit is so much better than the overpriced two controller Sony version.

I'm so glad we have this station. Constantly plugging in the USB connector to charge these things was a real pain in the neck. Nyko did a very nice job building this. The base looks nice and it works well. The addition of a power switch is very responsible of them. The charging contacts may get finicky over time, but for the moment they work very well.

I have the Nyko quad charging station for the Wii controllers. I have had it for over a year and it works like a charm, so it was a no-brainer for me to order this one for the PS3 Move. I like how easy it is to drop in the wands for charging. In an improvement over the design of the Wii, the Move charging station includes slots at the back of each "charging tube" so the cord does not get in the way. You can charge any combination of wands and navigation controls. There is a power switch on the front and it plugs into a wall from the back. The material is hard plastic and stylish.

When the controllers are charging, the charging "tubes" turn red. When charging is finished, they turn white. A blue light at the front of the charger indicates that the unit is turned on.

PROS:

Very easy drop-in feature to charge wands
Bright indicator lights for charging status
Stylish unit that is fairly compact.
Can charge any combination of wands and navigation controllers at the same time.
Made by Nyko.

CONS:

Very hard to get the navigation controllers to line up in the tube with the recharging connectors - you will have to do a bit of rotating to get the loud click and the light to come on.
Lights might be a bit bright if you were to set this up directly under your TV. I would recommend moving it to a place that it out of the line of sight.

Overall, I would have given it 4.5 stars, only because of the slight difficulty to get the navigation controls to line up on the first try in the charging "tube". However, this really isn't that big of a deal for me. We haven't used the nav controllers that much yet - the wands need the most frequent charging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Christmas Decoration, extra work for the Butler and Maid!, December 22, 2010

Great Christmas Decoration!

PROS:
4 port, price competitive. Gorgeous! Makes a beautiful red/white, bright LED lighted Christmas decoration!

Seriously, it works well. Attractive 4 Port cradle that charges 4 move controllers or navigators (in any combination). It's a bit hard to get excited about a PS3 controller battery charger, but this one from NYKO works well. It's a little difficult inserting a controller with a wrist strap attached, to make contact with the base properly as you have to pull the strap tight from the bottom and up the back before inserting it in the charger, but it does what it's supposed to do, and can keep up to 4 controller's batteries topped off and ready to play.

CONS:
Not a true con, But I wonder who designs these things..? When I un-boxed it, I was almost afraid to TOUCH it without putting on white cotton gloves first, as the base is meticulously mirror finished in typical black piano luster, with a silvery chrome mirror finish trim on the sides. The 4 clear plastic holders remind me of crystal chandelier goblets atop the finest sterling silver and black onyx serving platter, fit for royalty. Then plug it in, and it lights up with beautiful red and white LED's and indirect lighting!

Did I just describe a battery charger? Yes... That's my point. This charger works just fine, no problems there. But who in the world designs these things? This one looks like it should go atop a concert grand piano as a center piece for Liberace (unless you're a parent of a PS3 gamer you probably don't even know who he was...) Point is: The design and mirror finish is absolutely beautiful! But come on..., for a battery charger? There is NO WHERE to touch or hold this thing which you often need to do when inserting or removing a controller in it's cradle, without leaving finger prints and smudges!

Practical? Only as long as you keep a microfiber cloth handy to polish it along with your sterling silver flatware for entertaining holiday guests! The designers should be awarded for the most beautiful PS3 charger I've seen, but they really needed some sort of matte, non finger print area to touch and steady it when inserting and removing controllers, without causing extra polishing work for the butler and the maid.

The only other con I can think of, it that it does not lend itself to be used on an entertainment stand or shelf, unless it's the TOP shelf, as you need 18-24 inches clearance to insert and remove the controllers, especially the ones in the back.

I would still purchase this one over the SONY 2 port model for roughly the same price.
