If you have an extra set of Joy-Cons<\/a> or prefer using a Pro Controller<\/a> or equivalent, then you probably need a good way to keep the power in your Joy-Cons topped off when away from the Nintendo Switch<\/a>. Alteagle has a great solution with their Dual Controller Charge Dock<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The box.<\/p><\/div>\n

In the box, you get the charging unit itself with a short, fixed USB cable and an instruction booklet. Plug it into any standard 5V USB port – including the one found on the standard Nintendo Switch Dock<\/a>\u00a0– and you’re good to go. Simply slide each Joy-Con onto one side of the Alteagle dock until it clicks, and then they will start to charge.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a>

What you get.<\/p><\/div>\n

A red light indicates charging is in progress, and solid green means it’s done. As is typical for the Joy-Cons, it will take just over 3 hours for a full charge.<\/p>\n

\"Charging.<\/a>

Charging. Each side gets its own indicator light.<\/p><\/div>\n

The dock itself is incredibly small at about the half the height of a Joy-Con and roughly the same width and depth. As such, it’s something that you can easily transport.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the best feature is the price. It’s just $9.99 right now on Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Alteagle for the review unit.<\/p>\n

Pluses<\/strong>:
\n– Compact
\n– Incredibly inexpensive
\n– USB powered<\/p>\n

Minuses<\/strong>:
\n– No AC adapter included<\/p>\n

Summary<\/strong>:
\nThe Alteagle Dual Controller Charge Dock solves a very real problem at an unbeatable price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
