dreamGEAR PS3 Quad Charging Dock charges up to four PS3 controllers simultaneously. LEDs help monitor charge status

While shopping for a quad charging dock for my PS3 controllers, I liked this product the best because of it's sleek look and compact design. I was somewhat hesitant because a lot of older reviews complained about the AC adapter going out quickly. I decided to go with it because a newer review seemed to have no problem with it. This led me to assume they fixed the problem, and Amazon's return policy is fairly non-hassle. Whatever issue there was with the AC adapter, it seems it's fixed now. I'm glad I did. This charger works beautifully and is everything I wanted. Compact, lightweight, and most importantly charges my controllers as it should. If you are looking for a Quad PS3 charger, I highly recommend this one. I've owned and used this for 2 1/2 months at the time of this review. EDIT: It is Now December 2015 and Charger is still going strong!! EDIT 2: Now it’s August 2018. Yep. Still no problem! It has been plugged in non stop since receiving! Pros: Lightweight yet sturdy Sleek and Compact Design Charges 4 controllers quickly and flawlessly Quick connect and disconnect of controllers Cons: A little crazy on the LED when it's charging. Top and bottom of Base glow red when charging. This may be a problem for some people but I like the pretty lights. Those lights turn off when all controllers on dock are fully charged. There are 4 LED indicator lights that tell you when each are fully charged. Red for charging, blue for charged.

The dreamGEAR PS3 Quad Charging Dock is a rare exception that effectively bridges the gap between retro-gaming utility and modern convenience. If you’re still rocking a PlayStation 3 for its legendary library of exclusives, this dock is the single best way to keep a household of controllers ready for a four-player session of LittleBigPlanet or Call of Duty. The Breakdown Design & Aesthetics: The first thing you’ll notice is the custom red LED illumination. It isn't just a status light; it provides a sleek, "mood lighting" effect that makes the dock look like a centerpiece rather than an eyesore. The vertical, compact design is a masterclass in space-saving, allowing you to charge four controllers while taking up the footprint of just one. Performance & Power: Unlike "USB-powered" docks that struggle to draw enough current from the PS3's front ports, this unit includes its own 110/240V AC Adapter. This is the "secret sauce"—it allows you to charge your controllers from a wall outlet even when your console is completely powered down. In my testing, it successfully brought four depleted DualShock 3s to full charge in just under two hours. PROS True Quad Charging: Capable of handling four controllers simultaneously without any drop in charging speed. Visual Status Monitoring: The individual LED indicators provide instant feedback (Red when charging, Blue when fully charged), so you’re never guessing which controller is ready. AC Powered: Plugging directly into the wall means your PS3 doesn't have to be left on "Standby," saving energy and wear on the console. Universal Compatibility: Works perfectly with both original SIXAXIS and DualShock 3 controllers. Snug Fit: The clear holders are precision-molded, ensuring the controllers sit securely on the mini-USB pins without the "wobble" found in cheaper docks. CONS Bright LEDs: The red mood lighting is vibrant; if your gaming setup is in your bedroom, the glow might be a bit too intense for night-time sleeping. PS3 Only: This is strictly for the mini-USB era. It will not work with PS4 (DualShock 4) or PS5 (DualSense) controllers. Tethered to the Wall: Because it uses an AC adapter, you are limited by the length of the power cord and the proximity to an outlet. Overall Input The dreamGEAR Quad Dock is a high-utility investment for the serious collector. It solves the biggest pain point of 7th-generation gaming: the "USB Spaghetti" mess of having four long cables snaking across your floor. It’s reliable, durable, and provides a sense of organization that makes your gaming area feel like a professional studio. Reviewer Pro-Tip: Because PS3 controllers use a specific handshake for charging, they often won't charge from a phone "brick" or a standard wall USB. This dock circumvents that issue entirely. For the best longevity, always ensure your controller ports are clear of dust before docking to prevent any pin misalignment! Who is this for? Multiplayer households, retro-gaming collectors, and anyone tired of finding their controllers dead right when they sit down to play.

I like this charger. It makes organizing the controllers easy and keeps them in one place. Makes charging second nature, the kids just plug in the chargers after playing so they sit overnight. It is well made and the wire exits the back so you can put it on a shelf or next to your PS3. It has LED lights in the front to indicate when the controller is inserted properly and charging. It also has some plexiglass guides between each controller jack to help align the controller to the male plug that fits into the controller for charging. My only gripe is the chargers can be a bit difficult to fit onto the male jack (picture the male metal portion at the end of a mini USB cable). It can be a bit difficult to get it lined up just right to seat the controller properly. My kids have gotten frustrated and started to muscle the two together which got me nervous about breakage. You can't see the jack or the hole in the controller when you put it together so it's all about feel and gauging center. The proper angle is established by the plexiglass guides so that's not an issue. I've found you can get it to seat fairly easily if you use a light tough and gently rock the controller side to side until the hole lines up. My youngest daughter can do it, but not always (without help). We use this with our Sony brand controllers which are rechargeable. They have a female USB jack port in the front of the controller. If you have a controller without that jack then this will not work for you. We've already broken the two no-name controllers that used batteries so we bit the bullet and bought name brand Sony controllers and have been very happy. Overall I'm really happy with the docking station and would definitely recommend it. The price is very reasonable for what you get. It makes storing and charging the controllers VERY convenient.

This charger is great for all 4 of my PS3 remotes. I love how they line up in a single line, it takes up less room. I've had 2 different chargers that only charge 2 at a time, and they have broken within months. This 1 is holding up well so far after a few months. It lights up which I like because it works like a dim night light when I go downstairs in the middle of the night. It can sometimes give me a problem lining up the controller and the hole in the remote, but as long as you back it out and retry without forcing it in, it should last quite awhile.

Works Great. Took some time to deliver as it was coming from the U.S to India. But it was worth the wait. Great product. Now I can charge all 4 of my ps3 controllers together and don't need to worry about one of them running out of charge when friends come over. All the indicator lights are working as per the description. It has just been a week but so far it works great.

ha l'adattatore per caricare la station non italiano perciò ho speso altri soldi per prendere l'adattatore italiano per caricare(altri 3 euro) tempi di consegna 10 gg

Works really well, charges all 4 controllers very quickly. Very convenient.

funciona muy bien tanto para cargar como para almacenar los controles, ocupa menos espacio que tener los controles dando vueltas por todos lados, la carga es normal misma velocidad que con el ps. lo bueno es que trae su propio eliminador de corriente. lo malo es que el cable del eliminador es muy corto

Awesome charging station! Have had it for a year now and still going strong! My son loves it!
