nyko charge station for the wii

Strengths: build quality looks top notched, the rubber grips on the back covers help tremendously, especially if you dont want to put a rubber skin over the entire controller. Matches the wii nicely.

Weakness: contacts are weak with a strap. no usb charging- it needs an extra wall outlet

the build quality of the nyko is top notch. The batteries and cover fit perfectly to the back of the controller as tehy shoudl. Also the rubber grips are very handy when trying to kick some butt on wii sports. The only downside of the charge station is that, wiht the strp on teh remote, the contacts on the charge station are weak and sometimes spotty. removing the strap alleviates this problem,...

Piece of Junk and a Waste of Money

Strengths: Concept is excellent--rechargeable batteries and a convenient base charging station.

Weakness: Batteries don't make proper connection with the controller leads--the controller either simply won't turn on or turns off sporadically.

I was excited to receive this product, given the positive reviews on this site. However, I was extremely disappointed with it. Functionality started out innocently, as the batteries charged without issue. However, when I tried to use the controllers, I found that I couldn't even turn them on. I took a look at how the batteries made contact with the leads on the controller, and I found that the...

Works great, well supported by vendor

Strengths: Keeps the controllers charged up Better than other battery solutions or disposable batteries.

Weakness: Minor problem with contact but was fixed by vendor

This worked great for a few months and then I had a problem with one of the controller's batteries. It wouldn't charge up or stay lit up when on the charger. I called the company, they took the item back no questions asked (the battery that is) and sent out another replacement very quickly. I was impressed that the turn around time to get a replacement battery was so short.

Two Things at Once

Strengths: Can charge two remotes at once; form factor; works with guitar hero 3 controller

Weakness: Requires another wall outlet

This thing is great simply because it can charge two Wii remotes simultaneously. Also, the battery cover has a nice form factor--it really doesn't add much thickness over the standard Wii battery cover. I like that the remote still fits in the Guitar Hero 3 guitar controller. The only drawback is that it requires another outlet--it would have been nice if it would have plugged into the Wii via...

Nyko Charge Station for Wii

Strengths: Saves batteries for your power hungry Wiimotes, matches styling of Wii, grippy cover great for gameplay.

Weakness: Doesn't work with skins, the presence of the Wiimote strap can make contact with terminals a little tricky.

If you've got a Wii, you need to get some form of rechargeable batteries for your Wiimotes. What's nice about this option over standard rechargable AA batteries is that you don't have to remove the battery pack from your Wiimote when you are ready to charge. The holder provides a convenient place to store your Wiimotes after you are done playing, and charge light lets you know when the battery is...

Must Have for any WII owners!!

Strengths: Matches the look of the wii console perfectly. No more buying batteries.

Weakness: Only weakness I can think of is that it doesn't work with any of the skins.

I purchased the Nyko Charge Station because I was tired of going through batteries so quickly. As many of you know, the wiimote has a tendency to eat up batteries. I chose the Nyko, because I liked the way it matched the wii console. It's also great that it comes with an ac adapter, so I can place it anywhere to charge. I have read reviews that said people were having a hard time placing the...

Wii Charger is great

Strengths: -long lasting -better grip -convenient

Weakness: -hard to make contact -only holds two

The Wii charger is awesome. Its a life saver! Much cheaper than using AA batteries, and it lasts for a long time. When you aren't playing, just pop it back in the charge unit and come back and play more! i give it a 4.5/5 stars!

Better than batteries

Strengths: Never need batteries again. Keeps charge well, easy to transport in bag.

Weakness: connection is variable, not secure, can't put skins on

Overall good product if you don't like changing batteries. It keeps charge pretty well, and doesn't run out after 4 hours. The contacts are fragile and don't make good contact at times. The leash can get in the way of placement. Overall, good product.

NYKO charge station

Strengths: Keeps wii remotes organized and charged all the times

Weakness: Because you need to replace the battery and cover, it will no longer fit inside the sports accessories

This is a great product to keep both the wii remotes charged and also to keep the wii remotes nicely stored. Unfortuntely the only drawback is if you would like to use the sport back add ons to the wii remotes, you will need to remove the rechargable batteries and the covers and replace them with the originals.

Nyko Charge Station Review

If you have a big family or numerous friends that like to play the Nintendo Wii you might be interested in Nyko's new Charge Station Quad, which keeps four of the Wiimotes topped off till you are ready to use them. We also take a look at the Kama Wireless Nunchuk Controller which provides all the same abilities and features of the wired Nunchuk but without the need of wires.
