Top port does not work. Tried everything!

Top port does not work. Tried everything!
Unfortunately, the top port will not charge. I took a chance for the price and failed. Not even worth it to send it back. Pretty miffed...

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great!

Charging PS3 controllers with the system is very inconvenient. You have to leave your PS3 system on with USB cables coming out of it every time you want to charge something. That is the reason I bought a charger.

This charger has a good build quality, the magnetic clips are not difficult to clip on/off and work great. The controllers do not fall off the base by themselves. Lift up and pull one away, it doesn't take much force.

There are per controller colored indicator lights to let you know each controller's charging status. They turn green when fully charged.

I actually use my PS3 controllers on my Nintendo Switch using a 3rd party USB adaptor so this controller charger was a must have for me to keep them charged easily and hassle free.

4.0 out of 5 stars It works great but the base is slippery
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2012
Verified Purchase
I think this is a really good charging stand. Yes, there is a big clip that needs to be attached to the controller but once it is attached you don't have to think about it. It is really easy to attach the controller to the stand to start charging. The build quality is very good and the plastics feel high quality (although I must say the stand has nicer plastics than the clips that go on the controller). The clip does get in the way of the controller indicator lights except for indicator 4 but the plastic is transparent over this area so it's not really an issue. And if you have the controller in your hand playing a game and still don't know what player you are then you probably shouldn't be playing :).

The lights are intuitive. When charging, the appropriate light(s) for the controller(s) will change to orange. Also to note that the lights are frosted plastic so they aren't as bright and annoying as normal LED lighting. Furthermore, if you're still concerned about lighting, the controllers are actually angled such that when faced head on they cover up the status lights and only if you're close to the stand (i.e. moving to pick up a controller from the stand) you'll see the lights on. The base only lights up when no controllers are connected, and the entire unit can be turned off by pressing a switch at the top of the stand.

The only issue I have with this stand is that it needs a more substantial weight to the base. It comes with a sticky pad to keep it stuck to surfaces but I prefer not to use it.

Charger arrived today and is working perfectly so far. Item appears to be new. It was in original box with all original packaging and tamper tapes in place. I wasn't sure if it was new or used because I couldn't find the information in the description.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT the pictured item, but okay
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2015
Verified Purchase
This is NOT the item pictured. The picture is the NEWER (recommended) version of this product. The product you're actually buying charges the controllers by sticking them on the SIDE of a TOWER base. It works just fine, however, it's easy to accidentally bump the controllers and have gravity send them both tumbling off the base. The Magnetic CLIP is HUGE and covers the whole top of the controller and blocks the lights so you can't tell WHICH controller you're holding. The NEWER version (the one pictured) is much better in that it works WITH gravity - you set the controllers DOWN ON the base and the charge clip is comparatively TINY.

HOWEVER, THIS VERSION WORKS GREAT and is a much BETTER PRICE. So it's not a BAD purchase. I was actually trying to buy a second of these (because I liked it so much), but then discovered the new one (which I like even better).

5.0 out of 5 stars I was initially skeptical, but the magnetic connection holds my standard controller fine
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2018

I wanted a way to charge my PS3 controller without wires and chose this mainly for the magnetic connection as other chargers seemed to want to use the charging port as a plug in/unplug connection which can be a little annoying to me. It magnet seems like a neat gimmick, but it works out well. The magnet holds my controller on the charger with no issues and the controller charges like a dream.
