Yea it's not the best design. I thought mine were charging over night only to find they had no batteries today so it can't have been lined up right. Once you've messed around with it a bit you do get used to it. Should definitely have been better designed though.
I had the same, but my leds were slowly flashing all night. In the morning, my controllers were not fully charged. Suspect my charger is a dud.
Make surethey sre lined up and connected good. They have beencshorting out and melting if its not fully connected.
@@jamartin005 Yeah, I read about that on Reddit.
@@jamartin005 that's a lie. That was an overblown reddit post of a single person that left them on while charging.
@jamartin005 I totally disagree with this video. I have the charger and I haven't had not one issue or complaint. Maybe they should've made them dummy proof.🤷🤷
I personally really like it - finding the right position was tricky the first 1-2 times, but I found by lining up the trigger buttons with the grooves opposite you made it much easier :)
I agree it looks cool , just a little over priced for what it is ( the official one ) il probably go third party as want a stand too , but apart from cost the official one is fine
Same here 🙂
To be honest,I don't have a problem with this charger at all,I even love the look of it.
Same, I love it
Same. Never had an issue. Sad for those that do that bought it.
Likewise
Same. I charged my controllers last night and had no problems
Same I love mine. Not hard to charge. It’s magnetic u can feel when they are in place.
The lights on the controllers pulse on/off when charging. When they are completely empty they pulse at a very slow speed. The more they are charged, the faster the pulsating light will go on/off. That's a visual cue on the current charge level of the controller and how much longer they need to charge. When fully charged, the lights will turn off.
The light kept going on and off during the livestream, at one point one was pulsating and the other one wasn't, and then they switched, and I get it that that's how the controllers indicate their change level ( we can't change it), but would it hurt them to include some sort of an indicator on the charging stand itself?? IMO it is a very unintuitive design
@@DiscoVRTetiana I agree that it would be much better if the dock had some LED lights on it and stronger magnets. I appreciate the PSVR2 related content you're making :)
This sounds like a you problem lmao. It took me all of 2 minutes to figure out how they are supposed to dock. When they’re on correctly the lights turn on…. How much easier could it be? Tip. Aim to get the R2 and L2 triggers into the slots. The dongles will have no choice but to connect.
I haven’t had any issues with this charger. It has worked as advertised
she is right about the led indicator
I had the issue with it not feeling right slotting the controllers into the stand. However after I adjusted the stand to where It was no longer sitting flat on the bottom but actually tilting it forward it became much easier to slot in the controllers and see the LEDs to indicate their charging status.
if you hold the controllers as if you're playing a game and then simply place them both in the charging cradle, it looks like they would just seat correctly
This is the way.
Yeah, I have this charger and it really sucks. I put the controllers in yesterday to charge and left them over night and they still aren’t charged, so now I’m trying again, made sure to absolutely get the controllers seated correctly, and one is blinking one is not. I have no idea if the non blocking one is fully charged or dead. It would be REALLY helpful to have some kind of indicator if something is fully charged or not charging at all.
I also have the Sony ps5 controller charging dock and I hate that one too. I should have known better than to buy another PS5 official charging dock. Cuz this vr controller charging dock is just as horrible and the PS5 controller charging dock. Same issues with trying to seat the controller correctly.
@@juliangrimm835 There is really nothing wrong with the DualSense charging dock. It has a nice click you hear when you put it on. You mean it's not hard to miss that.
@@SnakeNL24 yes, I know it makes a click when you get it right, the problem is getting the controller to seat correctly so that it clicks. That part is a royal pain in the butt. Plus, many times trying to set the controller in the charger it hits the PS button and turns the ps5 back on. It’s also not easy to get one controller on without knocking into the other one and unseating it. I’m far from the only person who feels this way. It’s incredibly poorly designed and I wish I had never purchased it. If it works good for you, I’m glad. Thats great if you’ve had no issues with it.
came for the PSVR2 info ...ended up hypnotised by the jellyfish lamp, definitely gonna get one
Thanks for the video Tetiana. I was looking for a charging stand for my PSVR2 and decided to get this one on your recommendation. I set it up a little while ago and so far so good. The magnets allow the Sense controllers to sit snugly on the base, the charge lights appear to work correctly and I really like the overall aesthetics of the stand.
I’m glad you like it!
Tony thinking of buying it myself how’s it holding up any problems since?
My honest review: the connector has a magnet, when you place them they automatically find their way to charge. You can increase the led intensity for the controls. Imo this is more of a commercial for that awful looking charger 😂.
100%!! Since the first time I tried setting the controllers in the base it was a pain. Its Sony completely prioritizing design over function.
🤬yep
I thought the very same! They should have had charging lights on the top so it's more obvious when charging. Regret spending so much on the official one now. Its very fiddly to dock the controllers in the charging cradle as you say
Thank you for sharing. Mines coming today. We have that in common. I also, love colorful lights in everything. Lol. Thanks again. I definitely subscribed.
I know what you mean, and agree with you on every point, but I just locate the tip/trigger onto the cutout first and it seems to find its own way into the cradle.
There should be an official headset stand though! It’s insane that there’s not! 🤯
Mine is just sitting on the box it came in! 🙈
I'm sure the charging stand is something you can get used to eventually, but I had a very bad first impression and on top of being expensive and not having a headset stand I just thought there might be a better option out there. The third party one i found works well for me, some might dislike the design but I dig it!
They made the box to be used like that tho
Mine will always go inside the box because dust 💟
I understand your frustrations. Does seem like they went more for “sleek design” vs “charge n go”. It is a little difficult to line up. Call me slow when it comes to this particular issue but I get a little confused on which controller goes on the stand left or right 😅. Takes a few extra seconds to line up so no huge gripe. I’ve only had my PSVR2 and charger exactly week as of this comment so I’m still a newbie. I’m happy with the whole thing. I’ll eventually get a stand like yours because I have mine sitting on foldable dinner table at the moment lol
Put the controllers down on the charging station with the controllers in your hand as if your using them they fit in perfectly,I’m with you on the light for charging though
I have no issues with the charger, works fine and happy with it.
I love it. I fokus the shoulder button, put it in and then turn slightly inwards
I'm waiting for more exclusive games titles before I get a psvr2 and I wasn't really thinking of getting any accessories (seems pretty good right out of the box) based on several video impressions I've seen so far. But your video made me realize I currently don't have much storage space for the psvr2 (my Quest 2 is stored in a bobvr case) so I think the one accessory I'll get for sure is that headset/controller charging stand or similar design later on.
I bought a third party charger for the PS5 DualSense Wireless Controllers and it lasted about 3 months then died. Now I only buy first party accessories. I have this official PSVR2 controller charger. Yes it may be a little awkward to use, but I bet its going to last longer than many of the cheaper alternatives. Also that 3rd party effort looks a little cheap and tacky to my eyes, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess.
I use an Ipega bluetooth controller for my retrogaming via my phone, retroarch and roms and it performs perfectly. Good to see them succeeding with this too!
I preordered the Creative Minds charging station ($30 US). Because of demand, it won't ship until Mar. 29th. The one you have looks awesome!🤗 I bet they're both a better deal than the Sony one.
I love the official charging dock. I bought this along with the PSVR 2. When I’m done using the sense controllers I put them on the charging dock and it clicks right away at least for me.
Hmmm, criticism with a direct reference to a third-party manufacturer? Sounds a bit like an advertising contract. I've just tried it again myself to see if I'm a bit awkward. Put the Sense Controller in, you hear it click briefly and the charge indicator on the Sense Controller starts pulsing. Incidentally, the operating instructions also state that the pulsating light goes out as soon as the controllers are fully charged. Greetings

@@DiscoVRTetiana The video title just sounds very lurid. That's why it can give such an impression. I like it when the charging light is minimalistic and when the devices are full, nothing is flashing, it's just off.
All your criticisms for the official charging dock are valid, but I’m adjusted and will continue to use it. I do like the alternative you showed because it looks cooler and can be a VR headset stand.
Informative useful video. Thanks
My Headset will always go in the box because dust 💟
Thanks for the info. Can your turn off the decorative lights? I don't like all the lights on when I'm watching a movie or TV.
I have similar "is it charging?" Issues with the Sony dualsense controller charing stand too. Really hard to get it right with those controllers too. But I've gotten used to it with my dual sense and I'm sure I'll get used to it with tye sense controllers too. Best of luck to everyone struggling.
Thanks for this info, just ordered mine also on amazon! Looks beautiful this stand, but you are even more beautiful!!!
I noticed this as soon as I tried to place the sense controllers. It is so difficult and should be this hard. How did this product pass the testing stage? I am considering returning it and getting a 3rd party. The one you showed looks cool
Great video! Is there an easy way to charge your headphones too using the stand?
There are USB-A and USB-C ports on the back of the charger, I used the USB-C to power the charger itself, the USB-A one can probably be used to charge your headphones!
I bought it and had no issues
I feel like it should have magnets near the ports so that it sticks in and gives you the feedback that "it's plugged", as well as the lights should say on at all times to indicate power lvl.
I think mine does, but it's just not that strong.
Hello! 😊 Im from Sweden,and i got the official loadingstand like two month ago. And i to notice the problem with that its dificult to get the controllers to sit in correct. I still got mine standing on a little table,and i like a challange. But you are soooo correct! Its not a good build and im still living with it. 😊 Atherwise i really like the PSVR! Especially RE Village. 🤓
Alternative looks nice, although one must be careful not to put it in area with direct sunlight.
Sunlight can burn the screens when it hits the lenses.
I got a psvr2 full stand charger that holds the headset, ps5 mounts to its middle, charges both vr controller and 2 regular controllers at once and it works so nice (has add on side clip to hold disc cases if you ahve them. I do however have it plugged in to a wall charger outlet rather then the PS5 itself. Indicators on front display show when its charged, has safety to prevent over charging, comes with extra magnetic plugs. Third party seem much better.
I've been using the magnetic inserts and cables with all PS controllers, headsets, and accessories since I got the PS4 Pro years ago. Kinda a let down that the "official" chargers are using the same tech. Definitely kept me from buying it. This all-in-one stand looks pretty slick though. Thanks for making a non-sponsored vid!
🤣
@@MetalDeathHead Exactly.
Absolutely spot on, I have been fiddling around trying to place them correctly for charging.
I like your JellyFish tank in the Background ...lol
I don't have anu issues. Working great
Seems they've gone too minimalist on the official charger. Kinda weird, since the design of the PS5 itself is like the opposite of that.
I own the official charger and never had a problem with it. Just need to check the lights are on. Only thing I'd change is have the L.E.D's brighter 🙂
I havent had issue with original charger , though i do think it would be good to have lights fitted so you know they are charging
Personally I don't see what the problem is. When the diodes of the controller flash they charge, and when they don't, they're charged. What's the point of drawing power when the job is done? The charger looks stylish, stable, and I live in the fact that the shape of the charger doesn't allow you to put the controller wrong. the only argument I understand is the higher price. But that's the way it is with the original accessories (replaceable covers, bases, etc. )
The fact that someone would rather buy an ugly circus charger with ten diodes is not a necessity but a matter of taste.
There is another problem.. when my controllers die i need to connect them for few seconds on a cable first and then on the charging station because if not, you don't see the pulsing light and I think they don't charge at all ...
Hey thanks! Ordering one of these now!
I don't really like my docks having the blue lights, though. I have a bunch of controller docks and that's a gripe when watching TV with the lights out and having those blue lights shine...
You can turn them off! There’s a button on the back that turns off all the led lights ☺️
That jellyfish aquarium, I need that in my life
Ok so I felt same as you at 1st so I too went on Amazon and bought a stand (not same one but similar). Was great but after 10minutes of gameplay after a full charge, the battery was at half! Staring at the controllers in the charge station with the blue lights on I was thinking if it constantly draws from the controllers. So I plug the original back in and maybe its just me but I think theres a difference on how long a gameplay session lasts. Since cant just go and buy extra controllers I need all the juice stored in those bad Larry's.
Oh and fyi...you can set the official stand to a second position! Not sure if it was intended but it works. On its face so the controllers stand more upright.
So the third party stand wasn’t charging them fully
It looks like a frog staring at me. They def went for form over function.
I dont see any problem with this charger, how many times you connect and disconnect your controller?
For the new charger stand is it possible to charge the 3D Pulse headset via usb C?
I'm pretty angry that I only have a little bit of time to play it right now, I just turned it on and found out the left controller wasn't docked correctly and is completely discharged. I'm probably gonna see if I can get a refund and get the one you talked about.
Yeah it’s a very strange product indeed. For the price it really needs to be more user friendly and less fidgety. Hope you’ll like the new one better 👍
Great review Tatiana! I love the details you reveal about real world use.
I'm curious, if you put the stronger magnetic pieces from the 3rd party charging station in your controllers, do the controllers lock in better on the official charging station?
Third party tips may have slightly different designs and shapes, I doubt you’ll be able to find one that’ll fit the official charger perfectly
Great info! Thank you
I agree the Sony charger is not intuitive at all. It takes a bit of getting used to how the controllers sit and what to look for to confirm they are charging. But I am happy to accept that as I think once they are docked it looks very neat
I was dumb enough to order the Showcase because it is compact and looks cool. What I didn't realise is they would delay its release until March 3, so I am having to manually charge right now. Fortunately I have 2 mains powered USB C chargers and it charges them fast. The Showcase should be fast too, just like the official one. There are some cheaper ones that use USB to power and they will take 4 hours, ugh.
Thanks alot for the link I order now ❤
I have the same problem with mine and when I saw your other video with your third party charger in the background I was like OMG I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT ONE!!!
Edit: I forgot you can return things! I’m returning mine then.
Yep, you can save some money and get a more functional one ☝️
Thanks for the warning on the PSVR2 Sony Charger. That sounds frustrating for the design for sure.
I've had no issues with lining them up just put them in trigger side 1st and the chargers will line up themselves
There is nothing wrong with it. You just need to make sure in on right . I own it, and I have no issues at all with it. The best way to know when it's on right is to move it left and right when done right it will not move. I love it mine
Don't see any issue here, just a 5 sec extra check would help to get full battery next day.
I use if a d never had this problem.
I have this, and it works great for me.
The lack of a blinking light means it’s charged fully. That’s your indicstor
She said if you're not careful, it won't charge at all. So wouldn't have a light. So misaligned and fully charged would be the same indicator at that point. It wouldn't have killed sony to let the base have a green light to show when fully charged.
Not sure about your suggested alternative but you're absolutely correct about the Sony one being junk. I experienced the same two problems, hard to locate them correctly and a lack of LED showing you what's going on.
The light pulsating on the co trollers tell you if the controllers are charging. Your blaming your lack of understanding on the product. Mind you I don't own that charger but I get how it works.
I just purchased this stand thanks to your review. Thanks for the great video😊
Yay! You’re very welcome!
@@DiscoVRTetiana what is your accent?
How’s the charging speed compared to the Sony official dock?
I do prefer the low-profile look of the official charger. My PS5 sits in my living room so no large stands please. I also don't like unnecessary LEDs in my room, like blue LEDs that light up non-stop when a controller is full, or like that plexiglass bubble pole.
That said, an unreliable charging experience is bad. Still on the fence.
My glasses scratched up the PSVR 2 lenses already
How tall is it with the headset on? I dont think that will fit in my Ikea Kallax Shelf.
Over charge protection?
Surge/spike protection?
Looks kinda top heavy and unstable....
Can't believe that costs $50. I bought a third party one from a brand called Mes Merry from Amazon and I hate it I can't get it to charge both controllers at the same time even though it says it can and it seems other people having issues and someone even posted a video showing the issue. Would like to buy the one you recommend but it is saying to me that it'd arrive march 7-8, not gonna wait that long.
Good shout. I’m on the lookout for the same thing 🤔
My BEST psvr 2 unofficial accessory....I had a halo set for quest 2 that had an amazing forhead pad thats removable. Popped that on psvr2 WAY more comfy!
Yeah.. thanks for the confirmation..I wasted £40 on the official charger…I have already ordered a headset display/charger…not the one you are showing..hopefully I can offload the redundant charger on eBay..good content thanks 💪🏻
i know this is off topic,but how do i use my ps5 cam and capture both gameplay and video cam? i just got my ps5 and psvr 2 because of no more freaking good aaa games on the pc front these days😅
I'll have to dive into that I used my external camera to record some gameplay footage yesterday
@@DiscoVRTetiana ahh i see.. i was hoping they finaly made it easy to capture gameplay with videocam overlay in there software,but noooo😅
cant find any videos on the net about it:( i have seen gamertag and others done it, but i could not even see an option adding the ps5 cam to the game capture..you are doing great content by the way! regards from norway:)
I'm so glad I waited on this Accessory and that I'm a subscriber of you ;) thanks a lot!
Glad I could help!
Thank god I didn’t but this accessory. It was out of stock from the website I ordered my PSVR 2 at least :)
I honestly don't see what the problem is. I've had mine since the day it dropped and I didn't have an issue. It's no different than any other charger that I've had. It was just a matter of finding the sweet spot, and that wasn't all that complicated.
What is the led psvr2 headset stand she’s using in the background
Does it come with the motion controllers or not?
I agree with all of this! I was considering buying an aftermarket charger with a place for the headset but then couldn’t figure out where I would put something so tall so decided on Sony’s version. I’ve mis-charged them a few times now and came to play with dead controllers. It’s very disappointing that they do not snap in place and/or have indicators.
True.. but if you have already bought it, you can check if your controllers are charging in the ps5 control bar.😉
I still like it. I guess Sony were going for synergy with the headset. Both have a Sweet Spot!
Thanks for this video. I was on fence about getting the Sony charger. Now I know I won't buy it and I will buy the version you have.
Glad I could help!
I have one an no problems yes I do agree with you when it’s fully charged an the lights
That's ne heck of a system.. It does go well with the Jellyfish thing, and it has RGB lights, so what's not to like :) I still do think that the controllers would've been better off with batteries,just like the Quest 2's. That way you can charge batteries while another set is in your controllers, and you can just keep playing. Also, those rechargable ones have a limited number of recharges, so are you just expected to buy new ones after they go flat? Oh wel.. I still want a PS5 and PSVR2 one day :)
good points! I also would prefer the ability to swap batteries. Interestingly still not all PSVR2 games require or even support these controllers, like GT7 you can only play with your PS5 controllers or a steering wheel.
Just something to note. Currently, you can not buy the controllers separately.🤔
Idk I had similar issues with the dualsense charging station at first bu I got used to it quickly
we can return the charging stand? how long we have to return them?
I'm not sure, but my headset and the charging dock came with a slip that has a link to start the return process, so I will initiate it today
@@DiscoVRTetiana checked my tracking email and found the return process, just need to box it up ,print label and take to dpd collection.
The stand is OK for me now I for used to it but I'm getting the collective mi ds stand anyway for my headset and that has good controller chargers built in, unfortunately that won't arrive until 2nd of March but I'm sure I can take bit of time sending the Dock away.
ALSO one of my best mates just got his psn name changed and 30day ban because apparently his name that he has had for 7 years is offensive (abusive gentleman) more than happy to give the money to a 3rd party after hearing that.
Pretty annoying as we was gonna try demo out this week, so guess he will be using his meta 2
I got a $3 double headed usb c cable off aliexpress and I'm done. Easy and takes 2 seconds to plug in and I know it's charging. I don't care for it to look good sitting there, but I understand people that want that.
I do have those double-headed USB cables as well, very handy! But I really enjoy magnetic charging when it's done well. I'm more confident in it with the third party one I got
Some people love accessories, If they make a sony toilet seat massager, they'll buy it.
@@DiscoVRTetiana yup, they really should've product tested that design longer for ease of use and design flaws/improvements.
@@jimmytan2208 lol yep. I'm surprised they didn't make removable face plates to sell. I'm sure some 3rd parties will release skin decals soon lol. I'm fine with my whole setup being the 2-toned black and white.
Please do not be so quickly dismissive of the official product.
The electrical design has three pins, power plus sensing to prevent wear and overload. To my knowledge, the current third-party options have a dual pin (disk and dot) that only provides power, thus only relying on the controller's internal circuitry to prevent wear and overcharge. Sony does things for a reason, it is good to have options, but this is not an all-inclusive presentation of pros and cons.
I need a charging Station for two Controllers,two vr2 Controllers,one PS. 3d pulse headphone and Vr2 Headset tray then everything is correct and the best for your charging Station would be inductive charging like Qi for mobile phones thumps up 😁 P.s. can you take a Look through the charging Station freaky owl
Me my self had no issue with the charger alway work no guessing like she implied but she is right about not having a better indicator to show the level of charge without seeing it in the ps5 screen
I has cancelled pre-ordered charger, I'm lucky!
I’m finally getting used to it. It’s definitely finicky. Looks cool though.
Lol I bought the same from Amazon and it's looks dope with the lights
I love it! It's easy to place them in the correct position after getting used to it acouple times. Just make sure you see the lights blink when you put them in so you know they are charging, then when the lights are off you know they are fully charged. I think the charger is small, sleek and beautiful!
