Cheap, but works like a champ
I’ve always been a bit skeptical of using third party Xbox accessories for controllers and the like, but I decided to give this a try. It’s working well and as intended, and I like the fact that it doesn’t require you to “lock” the controller in; just place it in the rack and the contact points automatically line up. It’s also a flat-lying rack, so if you place it in front of your TV, it shouldn’t get in the way of the view. The battery packs are also decent, seem to hold a decent charge (played about 4-5 hours the other day and only lost about half charge).
You can tell the unit is made out of cheaply manufactured plastic, but for the price point, I wouldn’t split hairs about it. The cord that comes with it is also a bit short, just barely manages to suffice for where I wanted to put it, but it’s a standard USB phone charger cord, so it wouldn’t be difficult to find a longer one at a low price.
It’s cheap and gets the job done, and that’s not a bad thing. If you’re looking for a third party solution to charging your controller and don’t want to shell out too much, this a great deal.
As I have only bought this, I don’t know how long the battery packs will actually last and whether or not any other complications will come up. Will update if needed.
7/4/2019 Edit:
It’s just 6 days shy of a full year since I purchased this, and I can honestly say this is one of the best game accessory purchases I’ve ever made. The charger still works like a beauty and the battery packs still last me around 8 hours every time I play.
The contact points on both the inside and outside of the packs have gotten dirty over time, but that’s normal for these kinds of things and very easy to clean. I’m honestly surprised at how well it’s held up over the past year, especially considering how roughly I toss the controller onto the charger most of the time. It’s already outlasted one controller and at this point it’ll most likely outlast my other one as well.
Necessity for any gamer!!
I bought this product because I was tired of having to change out the batteries on my Xbox remote all of the time. I even had rechargeable AA batteries but they would always die mid game and I would have to run and go change them quickly before I died. I really wanted a way that I could just set down my controller and it would charge when I am not playing and that is exactly what the Fosmon charger does. I can game for multiple hours with no problem and then put it on the charger until the next time I play. If you are on the fence about getting this just do it. You will thank me later.
Also this charger can charge two controllers at once And it’s easy to tell when the battery is fully charged by ...
My husband was so excited when I got him this charger. I know he’s been wanting it for long time, no more buying big packages of battery. Yay ,Also this charger can charge two controllers at once And it’s easy to tell when the battery is fully charged by looking at the solid green light. Great gift for game lovers .
Fracking great
Wish I would have bought one of these a long time ago. I bought this in July 2018 and figured I’d let everyone know who reads this that they need this. Before this I’d keep several rechargeable AA batteries and it was very cumbersome. Rechargeable batteries never lasted very long for me. Now I either leave the controller on the charger when not in use or I always leave my other controller in the charger so I have that one as a spare. The charger looks really nice too. It is very easy to charge your controller, there’s no playing with the controller to get it docked, just lay it on and it starts charging and a green light comes on. When done the green light flashes. So simple and great
Excellent battery pack and charging station
The battery pack helped with the challenge of having to replace AA batteries when in middle of a game. The charging stations are very easy to setup. Just replace AA battery with the rechargeable battery and place on the charging station. The charging station has a USB to micro-USB cable. My only complaint is that it would have been better if there was a longer cable and a wall charger unit also added. with a short cable with no wall charger, the only option was to either get a wall charger with USB port or connect the Fosmon to Xbox console.
Great docking station! Very nice, smart, and simple way to charge multiple controllers.
The docking station is pretty and fits nicely in my entertainment center space for my gaming stuff. The only issue I have is that one of the rechargeable battery packs' doesn't fit right. It's like the plastic prong teeth are bent. So when it's inserted correctly into any of my (5) controllers the pieces aren't flush. There's a small gap between the battery pack segment and the controller. It still seems to work so I haven't bothered to report it or replace it. The instructions were very easy to understand as well. Be sure to read them because inserting the battery packs is sightly different than you'd be used to
Reliable and frustration-free charger
This is my second time around getting a charger for my beloved Xbox One controllers. This one works great! The most important part is that you can just drop the controllers onto it without and fuss, and the charging contacts mate up properly, and your controller is ready for action the next time.
A previous charger I owned was just too iffy on the mating of the electrical contacts, and I would get frustrated trying to make sure the controllers were going to charge properly.
That is not the case with this one!
Also, FYI - there is only a mini-USB to USB standard cable that comes with this charging set. You'll need your own AC to USB adapter, such as the wall plug cube from your iPhone.
Controllers sit well, power is drawn from Xbox One
This item arrived promptly and was packaged well. The charger seems to be well built and takes up only the amount of room necessary to hold the controllers. It comes with a usb cable to plug into the Xbox for charging. I was a little disappointed it didn't have it's own wall outlet (so I didn't have to use up a port on the Xbox) but a standard usb charger (5V 0.5A) should work if needed. While charging the green lights on the front blink which can be annoying if you're watching something on tv at night while it's charging. They change to a solid green when fully charged. The controllers fit well in the charger with the supplied batteries. In the past I've had controller chargers where you place the controller on and have to wiggle the controller to get it to make contact with the charging pins. This is not one of those chargers. The battery also hasn't died during a gaming session so it's life seems to be pretty good as well. Overall I'm very satisfied with this purchase.
Best way to keep controllers charged.
While the battery is a tight fit that gives you a slight trouble, it is well worth it, a single charge lasts over half a week with quite a bit of use every day. The charging cradle doesn't grip the controllers, instead it relies on the curves holding it in place so you're better off placing the stand on the console. Charging takes quite a few hours but using a wall charger cuts that time significantly. Overall the appearance doesn't inspire much confidence until you use it, which blows away much of its competition. The batteries are superb, getting 2 sweetens the deal. This is the go to charging station at the moment.
Great for gamers
Bought this for my husband and he absolutely loves it! He no longer has to worry about batteries dying and he can charge 2 controllers at a time.
Works great!
So far so good. I have the s console, and read on other reviews the 2nd controller slot didn't work on others, and because this said it was designed for the s controllers, I felt this was the way to go. however I was a little disappointed when I opened box and found it doesn't plug into wall, (if it said it in the discription, I apologize because I didn't read it) but into USB port on the Xbox one, and when we got a new entertainment center, I hated the thought of a cord being seen, but realized my TV has a USB port in the back, plugged it into the TV USB port and still works, so even though it doesn't have a wall plug, it works perfectly!!
Great base for xbox one and xbox one S controllers
Great product, I have it for about a month already and I don't usually play my son does but time is restricted so he plays about 2-3 times a week the rest of the time controllers stay on the base, no overheating or damage so far, the longest we've had the console on is 4 hrs and honestly haven't checked how much juice was left but I'm guessing the batteries last at least 5 to 6 hrs which I think is pretty good.
I have 1 Xbox One and 1 Xbox One S controller and the batteries fit on both, you just need to apply some presure for the batteries to get in place in both controllers.
If you ask me, I can say look no further this base and batteries are great for xbox one and xbox one s controllers
