Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got a Xbox One a few weeks ago and have already gone through a four pack of Duracell AA batteries (plus the two it comes with). I knew continuously buying regular batteries would get expensive so I started looking for chargers.There are four options on the market right now: the play and charge kit, the Dreamgear dual charging dock, the Nyko charge base and the Energizer 2X charging system by PDP. The Play and Charge kit (whether the official MS or the Nyko version) never really made sense to me. Why have a wireless controller if you have to go to back to wired when you need a recharge? Kind of defeats the purpose of having a wireless controller. The Play and charge kits were quickly ruled out. The Dreamgear seemed like it would do a decent job, but I have absolutely no experience with the brand. Also, having the controller rest upside down kind of bothers me (i admit it's a little nit-picky on my part, but it's my money so I get to decide what I do and don't like). It also looks a little dated (kind of like a shuttle craft from one of the earlier Star Trek movies). I own the Xbox 360 version of the Nyko charging station and it does a good job but is occasionally sensitive (every once in a while it doesn't start charging when you set the controller in it). That left the PDP model. I got several gift cards from a large national gaming store for Christmas so I used them to buy the Energizer 2X charging station. It comes with two rechargeable battery packs, which was nice. The stand comes in two easily assembled pieces (you just snap one into the other and it's ready to go). I've got mine on the entertainment center next to my receiver. The design goes with my glass, wood and metal entertainment stand pretty well. As a bonus, the black and dark gray color scheme matches my Harman Kardon receiver's color scheme. I wondered how my controller would fit into it but the clear plastic is designed almost like a guide rail. It guides the controller into the correct position to start charging. It's as simple as it gets. The clear plastic is illuminated by a red LED to show it's charging and a green LED when it's finished. It only illuminates when there's a controller present, otherwise all lights are off. The actual LED bulbs are not visible, they simply shine through the clear plastic like a prism. While the entire plastic piece is lit it is not overly bright. Remember, this is in my entertainment stand right below my TV. We watched "Elysium" last night while my controller charged and it didn't distract from the screen like my receiver's display (which fortunately is set to fade out five seconds after the last button press). It's only been a couple days, but so far I'm liking the choice. My only worry so far is how it will hold up. the plastic is firm but very light. Those with younger kids or who are rough on their belongings may want to look elsewhere. Edit - The product description says the LED's are blue and green, but that's incorrect. It's red and green.
