Great dock - By: lisa mcananey, 09 May 2008 
This stand is great it keeps my remotes safely stored & the blue light looks cool, only problem is that i have to leave the wii switched on for the remotes to be charged. If anyone knows a way around this please let me know.
Idiots should read the manual - By: Cashbox, 14 Apr 2008 
works fine in standby. wii has to be internet connected for this amber mode i believe. not to difficult for anyone with a wireless internet connection at home.
ive read people saying the rear charge slot doesnt work. they are idiots. there is a switch on the back of the wii that selects between the rear charger slot & the rear battery compartment. only one of the 2 rear chargers will work at once.
Beware - only works if the console is turned on - By: A. Pawson, 19 Mar 2008 
A word of warning for anyone about to buy one of these. The remote charging stand does work, it draws power from one of the USB ports on the console. However, it will only work when the Wii is switched on. This means you have to leave the console powered up for several hours while your remotes recharge.
Apparently there is a standby mode which will alllow you to charge the remotes while the Wii is in standby, but for some reason the console cannot be put into this mode unless it is connected to the internet. If, like me, your console is not online, there are only two options, on or off.
DANGER DO NOT BUY!!! - By: P. Midgley, 19 Mar 2008 
Read the title & weep my wii loving friends as this is the ultimate anti-wiimote technology! In a nutshell it 'kills' your wiimotes, firstly it dims the blue lights that are meant to represent your player no. then messes with your on-screen cursor till it just blinks out! I had 2 perfectly normal wiimotes each costing £30 & now both are 'dead'. Think about it that's £60 down the drain! DO NOT BUY!
Great gadget, keeps the kids and my wife quiet - By: gadgetman, 15 Mar 2008 I purchased this back in the autumn, & have held off reviewing this as the feed back from others has been of a mixed response, so here goes.
The unit arrived on time as per alll my purchases from good old Amazon, & well packaged. I had mixed feelings at first of giving this ago, as people reported that the controllers where / stopped working etc. This might be due to insisting that the consol is turned off to stand-by when not in use. However we have had this going for about 6 to 8 months without any issues, the batteries where easily installled they charged up through the USB socket at the rear of the Wii consol (but only when it is not in stand-by mode) which to be quiet honest is not an issue, as my kids & alll their mates that come around have not had the batteries fail or be in a fully discharged state not enabling them to play on the consol. The unit matches the colour of the Wii consol & with the added benefit of alllowing the hand units to be stored away neatly when not in use.
To sum it up over the last months of use we have not had any issues, it charges the hand sets with out any problems ensuring that they are fully operational for play time, batteries fitted without any problems, looks great & for the money you can't go wrong, five starts
