Nyko offering up easy PS3 controller charger |
Nyko yesterday gave PlayStation 3 owners a reason to cheer in regards to keep their controllers charged and organized. The new Charge Base 2 is priced at around $30.
The Nyko Charge Base 2 is designed to “rapidly” charge two PS3 controllers at the same time via an AC outlet. It sports visual charge indicators and a stylishly appealing, smaller form factor then a previous model. Nyko said it also has a new contact point dongle system for making charging easier.
The Charge Base 2 comes with two mini USB charge adapters which attach to the controllers so one can do ‘drop and charge” functionality via the base’s charging ports. The unit should be out very shortly.

So, looks like I’ve missed something… why would I want this? The PS3 charges my controllers fine… it even shows the level of charge and I have to say that the PS3 is alot more “stylishly appealing”.
I want something like this as I don’t want to have my controller connected to the supplied, yet short USB cable… nor do I want to have to be playing the dang thing when it needs a charge. I will probably get this or something similar if someone comes out with something that looks better.
For my Xbox, I have a charger that will charge two batteries at once and will do so without having the console on nor do I have to connect my WIRELESS controller to the console.
