One of the most disappointing situations for gamers is settling in for a relaxing session only to find a completely drained controller. It’s easy to forget to plug that little cord into the controller after a long night of gaming. And honestly, it’s not the most elegant way to charge either. Fortunately, there are aftermarket solutions that fit the bill quite nicely. We’re looking at one of those solutions right now: The OIVO PS5 Controller Charging Station. Please note: this item was sent to me by the company for review, but opinions are entirely mine.
Unpacking/Setup
When I unboxed the unit, I immediately noticed it felt much more substantial than I had expected. It’s got actually got a little weight to it, which was nice. It comes with a warranty card, which outlines it’s fairly generous guarantee (3-year support, 45-day return, 90-day replacement). It also comes with some basic instructions. The English admittedly has some strange translation choices, but I could understand it easily enough. Setting up was as simple as opening, plugging it in, and placing the controllers onto the cradles. As straight forward as it could be.
Thoughts After Using
I’ve been using the unit for week now, and I like it! It’s a perfectly suitable solution for keeping your PS5 controllers charged, and it looks sleek enough. The colored light indicators let me know when the controllers are charging and when they’re ready to go. Honestly, no complaints here.
