Customer Review: Not for dedicated gamers
The four-controller charge station for Wii by React seems to be the convenient solution for households with four motes. However, if you do some research, you'll find that its rechargeable batteries are 550 mAh, much lower than your standard AA's or the batteries that come with Nyko's dual-charge dock. I didn't think this would make a huge difference, but after using them a couple of times, I found that the weaker battery power caused the controller to lag and seriously hurt the Wiimote's range of motion. While this won't affect its performance for most games, games that require precision movements (for me, Mario Party 8 and Mario Kart with the Wheel) will be very difficult to play. At times, the Wiimote may not respond to motions, veer to one side, or be disconnected from the Wii. Unlike the Pelican dual charge stand for PS3 which features an auto shut-off function when the controller is fully charged, this product cannot remain plugged in to a power source for an extended period of time or the battery may melt. This extra maintenance is kind of annoying, but you could live with it. However, its LED's are distractingly bright (compared to the Pelican dual charge stand for PS3's LED's which I found pleasantly subtle and not at all distracting). Without an on/off switch for the LED's, you'll definitely want to unplug this while watching a movie, etc. The stand itself is nice, but its rather expensive to serve as just a stand. It helps get rid of some of the clutter, and the Wiimote strap can dangle off the sides without affect its charge. The Wiimotes don't rest perfectly securely and often have to be moved around a little bit to ensure that they are being charged (the red LED that shows it is properly connected is helpful). A plus I found with this battery pack is that it is less bulky than that of the Nyko dock and thus fits in fine with the Wheel and other accessories. It's lighter than the Wiimote with two AA's, too. Bottom line: the React charge station is a decent product if you aren't going to be too picky with its weak battery and other minor flaws.
