Reddit reviews PowerA Joy Con & Pro Controller Charging Dock Nintendo Switch

PowerA offers this one, also Nintendo licensed. Its been at its "50% off" price for most of the month.

Tempered glass screen protector is a must IMHO.

You'll see many naysayers who say they've had their switches since day one, work at a concrete factory and cut diamonds with their switches and have no scratches.

Plain and simple, the switch screen is plastic. Plastic scratches easily. Well worth the $8 investment. I use the amfilm one, but the orzly has excellent reviews as well.

PowerA makes a nice dock that charges a pro controller and set of joycons.

One more thing, you'll want a microsd card. Even if buying all physical.
Get whichever is cheaper of these two.

I have this. It's great, but only holds one pro...

I use this one and it’s HARD: https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Joy-Pro-Controller-Charging-Dock/dp/B075FF6HDN/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?keywords=switch+controller+charger&qid=1564892710&s=gateway&sprefix=switch+controller+&sr=8-8&utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app

I got this from Amazon for $10 at one point.

The lights are quite a bit bright on top, but other than that it's fine. Fits the NES controllers without issue

Edit: Looking at the other Power A Joycon docs, I never realized how close the bottom of the joycon comes to the base. Glad I got this one instead of the other I considered at the time (was getting ready for Mario Party)

Man, Once you hold that pro controller, the price will melt away. It's worth every penny. I got 2 and I got this so now I don't even need to think twice about charging it.

Your thumb will thank you , I really love to move my camera around while playing Zelda, and I hate using the joystick under the buttons on the joycons for games that require it.

Right here. Can't recommend it enough.

I just bought this one today on clearance for $21 from Walmart. So far it works good and I'll be able to charge my Pro Controller and a set of Joycons on the charger, and the other set of joycons on the switch. Only complaints so far is that the LED lights are really bright and distracting sitting there so I'll probably put it behind the TV. And it doesn't have a dedicated power plug. You plug it into your Switch dock via USB.

My solution for this would be to just have the right joy con detached & sitting next to me in a joy-con charger in my room. 🤣

For me I have my Pro controller sitting in this PowerA controller + joy-con charger (thank you Target for having it on sale for $18 a while back) next to my bed so I use that to turn on my Switch. When I'm traveling I just put the joy con on a table next to me. (I got the Pro controller last year but now almost always use the SN30 Pro+ instead when docked)

But what all this makes me think is Nintendo could probably make bank on some type of small Switch remote to turn your Switch on & off, adjust volume, etc. Make it cheaper than a pair of joy-cons but handy for anyone using 3rd party controllers 🤔

I'm sure it's fine, or you'd see plenty of complaints in the reviews. I don't think the controllers have the same sensitivity to power issue as the Switch does in docked mode. I've charged my Pro Controller from all sorts of sources and never had an issue (although I always make sure my cables and adaptors are Benson Leung approved).

I can personally vouch for the PowerA charger of this type, as I gave one to a friend for Christmas and he hasn't had any problems. It costs the same, but it doesn't have those sick fiberoptic LED bars! And it looks like the FastSnail is less bulky. I think you should spend the extra two bucks for the red one.

This one should have enough clearance on the joycon chargers to attach the NES-cons.

Its the only one I know of that doesnt have a wider base which would prevent them from sliding all the way down.

Comments in the reviews for this one say they work fine:

https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Joy-Pro-Controller-Charging-Dock/dp/B075FF6HDN/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1

You can see from the picture that it should work, as it has no "base" that would get in the way. Worst case: you could elevate it on top of some small notepads or something. It's officially licensed, which is good. Unfortunately, reviews are lackluster for a PowerA licensed product--sounds like there may some chance of a DOA unit (bad qc), and if you do use the pro controller, I guess you have to plug in a dongle for it.

Interested in getting a controller charger. The wiki lists the power a stand for charging two joy-cons, but I was wondering if anyone has experience with this model that charges a single joycon pair and a pro controller? Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075FF6HDN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_u-P.BbDV9BVKY

In any case, I'd like to know what the best charging setup is for a primarily docked switch with 2 pro controllers and 2 pairs of joy-cons.

I have one of these and it's been very convenient. I keep my extra set of Joycons on it and rotate my Pro controllers so they're always charged.

If you just want something for Joycons Amazon's house brand charger is very highly reviewed.

The Power A joy-con and pro controller one works with them.

Their joy-con only one does not.
