Gamertell Review: Konnet’s PS3, Xbox 360 hybrid Power Pyramid
Wireless controllers constantly need to be recharged. Play a lot of games and you find yourself buying multiple controller or multiple battery packs to charge. Let them sit in a drawer for a few weeks and they lose charge faster than their of-the-shelf-non-rechargeable counterparts. And, if you own more than one system, the issue is simply compounded.
Konnet came up with a clever solution in its Power Pyramid recharger. You can get a pyramid-shaped charger to replenish either four PS3 controllers our Xbox 360 controllers or – get this – a pair of both at the same time. And it looks pretty wacky when controllers are docked.

If you can find a charging system that works well and looks nice on the shelf, that’s even better.
Gamertell Review: Nyko Charge Station for Wii remotes
My WiiMotes suck batteries dry like a pair of friggin’ starved vampires. Part of the problem is that the motion sensors in the controllers are actually buttons, so when you pick up or even jostle the WiiMotes, the batteries lose a little more charge. I see the little blue lights flicker and I know that’s a few more seconds have been sucked from my game time.
Although I switched over to rechargeable AA batteries a while ago to help save costs, the battery life just doesn’t seem to last very long, even after I moved the WiiMotes to another part of the room.
Nyko’s Charge Station solves both of those problems, one directly and the other quite indirectly …
