5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and practical solution for Valve Index controller storage

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } The dock comes with magnetic USB connectors that secure the controllers well when they are not in use. It looks nicely designed and is finished well, presenting the controllers nicely when they are not in use.Each time I use my Index or Pimax, I simply put the headset on, and then remove the controllers directly off the deck whilst wearing the headset, making the solution really convenient. For me, this is an essential accessory.5 out of 5, would highly recommend.

functions as expected, good product a little larger than exspected.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for keeping controllers charged between use

Having this means you can just put your controllers in the dock and forget about them during each use. No more forgetting to charge them. I have recommended this to other people with the Valve Index and they've also been very happy with it.It has a slightly "rubber" texture to avoid being a fingerprint-magnet and is weighted nicely to stop it falling over. I'd love to know how they got that surface finish so I can replicate it in stuff that I make :)

5.0 out of 5 stars It Works..and it Works well

Quality is superb..appearance is important with something on display and this looks like a nice piece of furniture .Well made heavy so its stable and beautifully finished. I had the other brands and found it annoying with its constant flashing blue light ..this is far more subtle and works better..no more rocking back and forth to make contact either..just drop em in and they self home . Works with the Kiwi grip covers on too . Perfect really pleased

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent .. but

So, you get a base unit, two little magnetic inserts for your controller, and some sticky pads for mounting (which is a good touch as the magnets are strong)Pro's are it's well built and the unit does what is needed.. mostly.. Con's are that only one of the controllers will charge in it.. Left controller works fine and charges through the unit with no issues. Unfortunately the right controller will not charge through this unit, but will charge through a direct cable. No idea why as I've tried swapping a few items around to see if anything helps.. a 50% success rate isn't great thoughSo YMMV.. if I get it working I'll update the review but this is something to be aware of.

2.0 out of 5 stars No replacement inserts, seller unresponsive

The product was fantastic until one of the USB-C inserts become jammed inside the controller, meaning force was needed to remove it. When buying this product there was an option for spare inserts at the time, but now they are removed from sale and the seller isn't responding to my question of spares.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty stable dock that charges and looks neat to boot

Works great with the Index controllers, it comes with little magnetic snap-on ends for the controllers so that they can magnetically dock and charge when inserted into the dock base - I've found that these work well, charging is maintained and the controllers get guided in and held well in sync by the magnetic charge ends - better than a lot of other docks that use this same method. Whilst I have this on a shelf out of the way and so haven't had issues with tipping or knocking the dock, it hasn't shown any signs of failure or instability yet. Nice addon!

solid and easy to use

Nice and solid so doesn't fall over.

Super gut!

Das Teil ist wirklich ein Muss. Wer will schon dauernd mit den Steckern fummeln? Einziges kleines, selbstverschuldetes Ärgernis: Leider ist im Eifer des Gefechts einer der zwei magnetischen USB-C Adapter zerbrochen. Hier wären zwei Reserve-Stecker echt hilfreich da sie schwer zu bekommen sind(bin noch auf der Suche). Und ja: der Stromanschluss muss auf die Rückseite! :-)

Good sturdy stand.

I just picked up this charging stand and have been very pleased with it. It's built sturdy and charge the controllers pretty quickly.While shopping, I compared it to the VRGE & AMVR charging docks, and found this to be the best choice.Power Delivery:The single USB-C cable (which it doesn't include, not a huge deal since the Knuckles come with 2) approach is nice, and makes it so you can swap cords should yours get damaged. You'll also need to provide your own 5a/2.5v adapter. The AMVR dock also is single cable, but the cable is hard wired in, and the VRGE dock uses 2 separate USB C cables.Controller to Dock Hookup:It uses magnetic USB-C inserts to go into your controllers, and then snap into place when you dock them, so no more plugging and unplugging a charging cable to your controller and possibly damaging the port. The AMVR also has this type of charge style, but based on pictures it looked like the type of charging contacts you'd find in accessories for a Bluetooth earpiece charge kit. These styles have been unreliable for me in that type of tech, and based on Bolo reviews, it's the same for the AMVR dock. The VRGE dock has cable plugs that come up through it, and have to be plugged in and out of the controller every time.Controller Stability:The perfectly cut out insert in the dock along with the magnetic connection keep the controller rock solid without exerting pressure on any one part of the controller. The magnets are a bit strong, and a bit of downward force from your free hand or your pinky will be needed on the base or the entire thing will lift up. The AMVR looks to provide good support also with it's plastic handle pieces, but the other points above kept me away. With the VRGE one, the main thing keeping the controllers stable and upright is the USB plug they're sitting on... yikes.Price:It's a bit pricey, the highest priced at $49, considering they don't include cabling, but in my opinion is worth it over the VRGE at $45 or the AMVR at $35.Overall I definitely recommend this one if you're in the market for a controller dock for your Knuckles. Hope I could help someone with this! :)TLDR:Pros:- Magnetic charging keeps controller wear down.- Single cable charging for both controllers.- Built sturdy.- Looks good.Cons:- A bit pricey.- Doesn't include USB-C cable or 5a/2.5v adapter for cable.Neutral:- Magnets might be a little too strong for some peoples' likes.

Great way to keep them charged

Works as intended. It doesn't always sit in right if you slide it in on an angle, but that is fine by me

Must-have

Nie wieder leere Controller oder lästiges Reinstecken der Ladekabel. Einfach die Magnetaufsätze in die Controller stecken, die Dock mit Strom verbinden und super leicht können die Controller sicher auf die Dock gestellt werden.Das Ladekabel könnte von mir aus ruhig auf der anderen Seite sein, wo für mich "vorne" ist kommt nun ein Ladekabel raus, ästhetisch nicht optimal aber das ist wirklich das einzige was ich bemängeln könnte.
