Charge All Your Controllers At Once With This Switch Storage Dock, Pre-Orders Now Live

That's pretty cool, would be a bit lame if it bricked all your controllers at the same time though

@Bunkerneath and the dock its using? (No external psu) :/

@DABYX Now that would suck even harder

It also looks like it will fit the NES/Famicom controllers.

But I do feel that if they had 2 USB ports either side for charging other controllers would of made it better.

Think I might wait until a review exists I don't want anymore Lego Brick Consoles.

These stands do make me wonder what the average video game collection size is amongst gamers.

@fx102a I only seem to have 6 at a time - I end up selling the other physical ones! That’s the beauty of digital games 😂

Only 4? I have two pro controllers, a Poké Ball Plus, Switch, DualShock 4 controller, and 3 smartphones (one for calling, two I use with wifi).

Also, I'm no expert on electronics but doesnt USB have a pretty low amperage limit. With all these plugged into the USB out on the dock surely something is amiss...?

Edit: I've done some digging...
The joycon batteries are rated at 525mah. If we imagine the pro controller and pokeball plus is the same that totals to 2.1a.

The Switch charger runs 2 different settings. One at 5v 1.8a which is obviously not enough amd another at 15v 2.6a which is fine and dandy except that (supposedly) is only fed to the USB3 port at the back of the dock not the side USB ports.

Sooo I checked the website and the user guide for this kit says any available port. If my findings are correct I would ONLY use the rear USB port otherwise things are gonna get hairy with everything charging at once.

Will this brick controllers or maybe even switches? This could be usefull...

Absolutely useful. I need one.

Why do people think this will brick the console? Your Switch doesn't charge through this device. It just charges your controllers and can plug in to the USB connections on the Switch Dock. That's how I charge all my controllers anyway so this basically is just a large extension cable that lets you plug more in to the one power outlet. Obviously don't connect your Switch to it directly. #CommonSense

@DarthFoxMcCloud Ya can't blame people for worrying after the other 3rd party dock mess'. Also unless the info I've garnered is wrong (possibility, this is the net after all) then using certain ports could be a fire risk. :/

@Yorumi Hori made exactly that for PS4 controllers. I wonder if they made one for Switch?

@Yorumi Yeah, I just browsed the Hori website and it seems they don't have something like that yet, which is a huge shame.

It's almost like they know my collection since I have one extra pair of joy-cons, a pro controller and a Pokeball plus. I got 8 physical games but only 3-4 I would go back and play now and then.

I'll give it a look if it ever comes to the US.

@sebmeisnerwl isn't that a disadvantage?

"Plan all of your moves in advance"

"Charge all of your controllers at once"

"Fire all'a your guns at once"

@trajan depends how you look at it!

I have sets of Joycon, 4 pro-controllers, one Poke-Ball Plus, and an 8Bitdo "SNES-Style" Pro controller too.

Gonna need to do better than this toy to charge all my controllers at once!

And if you want to get more demanding, I also have PS3 and PS4 Dual shocks, a Wii U Gamepad and a Wii U Pro-Controller.

Give me a stand that can charge ALL of that at once, and then we can talk.

I like how it looks nicely organised. But I would also like to wait For a review.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a joycon charging station? Just received my NES joycon controllers. I'm worried they won't fit some of the Chargers, they are a little bit bigger.
