5.0 out of 5 stars Could not be better, 26 Mar 2009
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This is an example of one of those products which you buy and don't look back. The problem is it's also one of those products which you buy and then completely take for granted, so I am betting that there are many more happy customers out there who have not written reviews.

The Nyko Xbox 360 Charge Base does exactly what it says on the tin. You use a modified Nyko battery in your controller, and because they have contacts on the back which marry up with contacts in each of the charge bases's two slots, all you need to do to charge a controller is pop it in a slot. The charge base has two slots and two Nyko batteries are supplied.

The unit has two LEDs on the front, one on the left for the front slot and one on the right for the rear slot. These show red when a controller is charging, green for a short while after full charge has been reached, and then turn off. The Nyko base unit appears to detect a full charge and turns off the current to the relevant slot to prevent overcharging, which is a nice feature.

I don't think you will ever wear down a battery completely as the manufacturer claims they are good for 25 hours of gaming, so generally they are topping up their charge when you put them back in the base unit. Full charge takes very little time at all. Because the batteries are NiMH they will not develop memory effect as quickly or to the same extent as other types of rechargeable battery, and if their useful output time is shortened by memory effect then they can be charge-cycled to fix this (full discharge, full charge, full discharge, full charge).

The build quality of the unit feels good; it may be made from tacky plastic but it feels solid enough. A nice feature is that the bottom of the base has two square rubber patches on it to stop sliding, scratching, or annoying vibrations.

All-in-all this was £20 well-spent and if I pick up any more wireless controllers, I will be buying another of these bad boys.

Quality product charges extremely quickly with big led indicator that only displays when charging (does not constantly display that it has charged). Essential buy.

Easy to set up and works well, controllers always appear charged and it also gives a place to keep them.

Good price also
