Good charger for the money, I would highly recommend it to anyone. The unit is very compact, input cord is more than long enough to reach most power receptacles, the charging adaptors that snap onto the controllers are non-obtrusive, and it charges the controllers fairly quickly.

A few cosmetic gripes though (nothing major):
*Would have liked to see the charge lights on the front of the unit. The power cord connects in the rear right below the charge lights. If your entertainment center setup is a bit cramped (like mine is), you end up setting the controllers on the base to charge which obscures the rear of the unit (where the charge lights are). Not an issue if your entertainment center is roomy and you have a lot of space around the unit. Just odd they made it like this, since the XBOX360 version has the lights on the front.
*The USB adaptors that snap onto the controllers could be a bit more snug, but this is really only an issue if you have pets or small kids that like to rip things apart. They don't get in the way of your hands when playing a game or fly off unexpectedly.
*No auto-off feature. When the controller is done charging, the light stays green...for days or weeks or whatever...until you actually turn off the charge base using the button on the front of the unit. Guess it's not that big of a deal since I can't really see the lights in the back anyway, but again, my XBOX360 version just turns off after it's been green for a bit...what gives NYKO?

When I am done playing my PS3 I am ready to turn it off. However, I also need to charge my controller which means I then have to leave the PS3 on while I do something else. Then, the PS3 automatically turns off and the controller isn't fully charged yet. Now that I have bought this I am free to turn the PS3 off and fully charge my controller at the same time. I should have bought this a long time ago.
