Reddit reviews Sony Move Charging Station with DualShock 4 Adapters

I sold my Launch Bundle a few weeks ago in anticipation of the Skyrim Bundle. A part of me wishes I had kept the old one. I'm gonna do this bit of random thoughts and comparisons in bullet-point form:

• The 4K HDR passthrough is great. But, I was a fan of the old processor box's sliding cover. I guess it's one less thing that can break or snap, but I liked it. Next to my Pro, the new processor box does fit the motif a tad more, although the rounded edges are not Pro-like at all. Aesthetics on a breakout box are probably the least important factor, but thought I'd jot down everything I noticed.
  
  
• The micro USB Move controllers seem lighter, but I liked the heavy feel of the older ones. A great improvement is that they are now micro USB, as opposed to the pretty much extinct mini USB. The Action buttons are now blacked out, which I like. The controllers also came uncharged, which was incredibly annoying since I was on a time crunch to play before having to head back to work. Anyone else have this issue? Did I buy a returned unit?
  
  
• The new bundle did not come with a charging option for the 2 Move controllers, which I think is a bit cheap on Sony's part. You do get a micro USB cord with the bundle, but it's the one used to connect the processor unit to the console. The PS4 consoles all come with a charging cord, that is true, but this is for sure a way to boost sales for charging peripherals, since charging two Move controllers and at least one DS4 would be rather difficult with one cord. Thankfully, I bought the Sony charging stand last year. I highly recommend it to everyone.
  
  
• The headset attaches right to the processor unit, there is no long thick cord in-between. I liked that cord, and the cool connector box with the Playstation shapes on it, but it was annoying to deal with, that's for sure. This is an improvement, but the cord is not nearly as heavy duty as the other. Keep in mind, with the old, thicker, cord, Sony could just send you a replacement...but with the new design, you'd probably have to send your entire headset in, since the cord is attached into the headset and cannot be removed.
  
  
• I'm still not decided on the buttons on the headset itself, as opposed to the little attached remote on the cable. The power button is a small one on the bottom of the eyepiece of the unit, right in the middle...smaller than the other buttons. You have to hold it to turn the headset off. The button to move the eyepiece is now on the top right, as opposed to the bottom right. It'll take getting used to. Volume adjustment button is on the bottom left, and you will need to remember which area on it to press to increase/decrease volume, and I'm pretty sure pushing it in the middle is MUTE, but I have yet to use it. To be honest, I liked the old design, but am assuming that using the new setup in-game will be more efficient. The fact that the old in-ear buds color matched the attached button setup was cool. Speaking of in-ear buds...
  
  
• The new in-ear buds look pretty well designed. While I really liked the color on the old ones, the idea of having these attach to the headset itself, and designed to firmly fit around the back of the neck, is definitely progress. I will say that while playing, the cord would snag onto my shit collar causing a bit of resistance when I was turning my head. If possible, play in a t-shirt.
  
  
• This more about the firmware update, so probably the same for the older headsets as well...I love that the volume now has a numerical value. I found my sweet spot @ 22. Great addition by Sony.
  
  All of these little tidbits were based on about an hour of gameplay. I did not enjoy Skyrim as much as I thought based on all the praise in here, but I think I'm just annoyed by not having smooth turn. Finger's crossed they add it in an update at some point.

I like this charger

Nope.

This is the one they're referring to:

Second one I linked is a later rebrand with 2 DS4 adapters to use it with PS4 as a Sony attempted to "recycle" excess accessories produced during the PS3 Move era.

I remember picking my first one up for $5 clearance in Walmart before PSVR and then they hiked up in price after demand soared for Move wands.

I'd say buy something like this and have them charging while you sleep

No, but they are cheap.There's also one sony sells that has been retrofitted to also charge DS4s with included adapters.

I have this which works quite well. I just put the DS4 adapters in a drawer. I only use it for the Moves.

However it’s wildly overpriced. It was only $14.99 when I bought it.

Indeed, Pro has one more USB at the back but I still bought this

Lol no offense but last night I read a post about a guy who put his PSVR into the microwave to prevent the lens from fogging up.

FYI, this is the charging station I use. Full charge in a couple of hours.

I use this one. Works perfect: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Move-Charging-Station-DualShock-Adapters/dp/B00OGPTED4/ref=sr_1_31?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1504882339&sr=1-31&keywords=ps4+controller+charger

I picked up a new charger doc made by Sony for $14 earlier this week off Amazon, it's way nicer than having to give up a USB port or two! (Normally $30, still worth it in my opinion! - Sony Move Charging Station with DualShock 4 Adapters https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OGPTED4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_rD7qybN4TCZG9)

I second this - got it for 15 bucks on Amazon, well worth it not to have a bunch of microUSB cables (I have a Skyrim bundle)

It's $18 right now: https://www.amazon.com/Charging-Station-DualShock-Adapters-playstation-4/dp/B00OGPTED4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1521924564&sr=8-3&keywords=move+controller+charger&dpID=41qNIcVHgfL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Same price on Amazon - also includes reviews and a picture showing how the controller sits.

$11 cheaper. amazon

Sony version:
ebay

This is what I purchased:

However, it's exactly the same as the PS3 Move Controller charger except it comes with two adapters for DS4 controllers. In fact, the outer box said it was a PS4 charger, but inside that box were the two DS4 adapters as well as the original PS3 Move charger box. They just put the PS3 branded box inside a PS4 branded box.

This is the best priced charging stand I could find in Canada.

I ended up just buying the official one from amazon.com and had it sent to family currently in USA.
