Q: What's the amount of time it takes to charge? I had dead joycons in for 3 hours and it charged to 1 tick of battery. It's plugged into my switch dock. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it takes longer than 3 hours to fully charge?

Tasha - 1 year ago
This charging dock is not worth it. We keep our joycons on this charging dock so they're ready to go when we need them. We don't play often so it's nice to be able to have them fully charged. When we went to grab the joycons all of them were dead despite being in the plugged in, charging dock. Seems like we've always got issues with this charging dock. After removing all the joycons the lights stay on and red on 3/4 docks. We must have a broken dock. Unfortunate because it defeats the purpose if having it in the first place. I don't recommend it.

This has made playing the switch WAY easier when it’s docked to my TV! Nothing worse than controllers dying while playing with someone and there only being one charged pair!

Buyer beware! this is a great product for the original joy con nintendo switch controllers. but it doesn't charge the nintendo switch online controllers, i.e. nintendo/super nes/ etc. joy-con controllers. I have tried two of these products and to no avail. They fit on just perfect but cannot be charged. This should be able to charge these joy con "official nintendo" controllers. Otherwise, great product. Just bummed out a bit, as I bought it for the joy-con online controller charging function.

Purchased this a little while ago it has been great but today we went Tobias our remotes that has been in the charger and neither it’s actually charged. Even though the light was green the remotes die either a minute of staring the game. I’m taking this back and I will try to exchange it but I’m not sure if I should just look for something all together it was very annoying.

Works properly, but needs one design change
4 out of 5 stars
Trek2120 - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
The charger works as advertised, but when all four joycons are on the charger, there's not much space between the front and rear Joy Con's to get a finger in behind the front ones to press the unlock button. The lock mechanism isn't needed as friction & gravity are more than enough to keep them in place. Changing the design where the Joy Con's do not lock in place would remedy the issue.

Michael - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
I had high hopes for this after seeing that most of these chargers wouldn’t charge 4 joycons at the same time (it’s primary purpose). Alas I was tricked yet again - I plugged in 4 joycons at the same time and 6 hours later, the 2 in the back were still red. After shifting the joycons around to try to get them to all charge, the lights started randomly switching between green and red (see pics, they were all taken within 10 seconds of each other). Eventually all of the indicators turned green, but this fails it’s main purpose of being able to charge all 4 joycons at the same time.
Great

Has potential to be a great product. However the design is bad. it's extremely hard (almost impossible) to get them off the charger if you have 4 joycons on it charging. Even my 8 and 6 year olds fingers cannot fit between the joycons to push the button to release them from the charger when they are done. if they were about 1 inch further apart this product would be 5 stars! I think a redesign is needed!
Not my favorite thing

Half the time it doesn’t actually charge the joycons which is pretty inconvenient
