HyperX ChargePlay Duo - Charging Station for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One Wireless Controllers, Includes Two 1400mAh Rechargeable Battery Packs and Additional Battery Doors

Here's the thing, I wanted a charging dock for my Xbox Series X controllers. So, I did what any person does nowadays, I searched for reviews... and then I searched for more reviews and then more. Spoiler, reviews were shockingly limited unhelpful. So, here is a helpful review. 1. quality - this charger feels solid and is easy to use; the controller fits on the dock easily, doesn't feel unstable or tippy. The led "breathes" to let you know it's charging and turns solid once charged. I've never struggled to connect the controller properly or fumbled with putting them on. 2. charging time - I haven't timed it (sorry?) but it's fast and you can charge both at once or only one at a time. 3. battery life - hours... I can't say more or I'll sound even less like I have a life than I do now, but it's hours. 4. battery covers - it comes with two one for the X and one for the Series X. They fit perfectly and they even look good on the blue controllers. The gap in the cover for the connection to the dock isn't too much. It's not too ugly and it doesn't interfere with use or plugging the controller in by usb-c. 5. usb - here's my biggest complaint, the plug for the dock is not usb, so you must use the cable it comes with, you can't use another cable and have to have a wall plug nearby. It was fine for me, but if you're out of room on your power strip, you have my sympathies. 6. battery - this one has the largest battery that I could find out of all the charging docks, so that's a plus. 7. licensed - it's officially approved by Xbox, so I don't have to worry about it killing my $60 controllers. 8. size - it's not tiny, but it doesn't take up unnecessary space, it isn't too tall or too long, pretty much perfect for storing / charging 2 controllers. 9. color - it only comes in black, which is fine because it matches my Xbox, but if you wanted it in white or to match your controller, it's not going to happen. This is the charging dock to buy if you want to charge 2 controllers. It's easy to use, has a good battery life, doesn't take up too much space, quick charging, and looks cool. I appreciate the peace of mind of knowing Xbox was ok with it and the fact that I can store my controllers on it and not worry about where they are or if they've been charged lately.

I've been using this charger for my xbox series X controllers for almost 2 years. It has worked flawlessly for me. I have not had any issues getting the controllers to charge. I play almost daily and the batteries will last for several nights of gaming, I'd guess 10-12+ hours per charge. I have 2 controllers and just rotate them whenever the battery is depleted on the one that I am using. Recently, one of the batteries has stopped holding a charge (again, after almost 2 years of daily gaming). I was surprised that I could not find a replacement battery from HyperX. I reached out to customer service and sent them my Amazon invoice for the charger. Since I was within the 2 year warranty, they sent out an entire new charger with new battery packs. That's excellent customer service.

I've tried various chargers from off brand manufacturers with hit and miss success. Decided to scrap all the batteries and old systems in favor of the brand name Hyper-X. Since this is an early post-purchase review (Dec 2020), I don't have much info on battery life, etc. but can talk about ergonomics and build quality. Ergonomics: This charging station works with the standard Xbox controller up to Xbox One X (most recent last gen). Surprisingly, it also work with the original Xbox Elite Controller... and here's the trick... WITH the back paddles attached. In many charging stations, you have to remove the back paddles for the Elite. Not the case here. I'm unsure about the Xbox Elite 2 since I could not test that but *suspect* it works. Finally, this charging station *does not* work with the new Xbox Series X/S controllers. Why? The general format appears the same; however, the Hyper-X battery cover tabs do not line up with the new controller slots. It's possible you could *maybe* hack something together which would work but that isn't my cup o' tea. Build Quality: Very nice quality plastics. The stand has robust no-slip feet, the battery cover lines up the controller with the charging points easily (no fussing around trying to line things up), and the batteries themselves are well crafted and fit perfect in the available battery slot. There is an LED indicator letting you know when things are ready to go. A minor quibble would be the light is flashing or solid white vs. red to green but not a huge deal for me, might be for you. TL;DR Very happy thus far. Great build quality. Doesn't work with current gen Xbox Core controller. Works with last gen standard controller and Xbox Elite w/ paddles attached. Enjoy.

Product works as designed and keeps controllers charged. I use this for (2) different controllers, and it's very nice not having to change batteries or manually plug the controller into a USB cable for charging. Also keeps my desk organized by providing a place to store controllers when not in use. No issues with the device so far. Would recommend/purchase again.

De su funcionalidad no tengo mucho que decir, es lo que se espera. La carga es bastante rápida y las baterías tienen una buena duración. Hasta ahora no he tenido problemas en nigún aspecto. Lo único malo que veo en este producto es su costo. Lo compré por la marca que ya es bastante conocida, pero me parece algo caro. En tiendas chinas se pueden encontrar similares a mejor precio, pero no sé si sean igual de buenos. Lo recomiendo por su funcionalidad y calidad, pero su precio es algo alto.

Overall it does what I needed it to do, keep my controllers charged and not go through tons of batteries. It lasts about 18 or so hours of play. As long as you remember to put it back on the cradle, you should be fine for all day gaming parties. Installing was pretty simple. There are three little bars on the middle of the battery pack. Make sure that faces out as that is what charges. Otherwise it feels like the door should close on it but it just doesn't quite fit. My only complaint is that I wish it came with different color options. My xbox one came with a white controller and we bought a second controller that was blue. It somewhat makes my eye twitch to see the black cover instead of the OEM matching one. But, I got over it. I'll update if needed but it's been two months and we are going strong.

Great charger, easy to use. Putting the batteries in the controllers is a breeze. The batteries work well however Windows sometimes thinks they are low battery even when they are not. I have white controllers and would have liked if there was an option for white backs but its not the biggest deal. Its a unique look now.

Worth the price, charges pretty fast, fits perfectly with my little gaming set up and esthetic! Works with Xbox series X controllers, and of course quality, it’s Hyper X need I say more? No. No regrets, no more batteries and cashiers looking at me crazy for buying x24 battery packs lol
