There’s nothing worse than getting the crew together for Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros., only to find half your Joy-Cons are dead. (We’ve all been there, passing around the one working controller like it’s a sacred relic).
Enter the HyperX ChargePlay Quad 2, a compact, no-fuss charging dock that powers up to four Joy-Con controllers at once. If you’ve got a Nintendo Switch, this is the kind of accessory that quietly makes your gaming life better. You can grab it for only $16.99 (reg. $29.99).
I picked one up recently, mostly because I was tired of juggling Joy-Cons between games, and it’s been a small but mighty upgrade. Just slide the controllers into the clearly marked slots and the LED indicators show charge status for each one. Red means charging and green means you’re good to go. It also only needs four hours to get your Joy-Cons to full battery life.
It plugs in via USB and doesn’t take up much space, so it fits right in on a desk, shelf, or entertainment center. Bonus: the stable base means no tipping or wobbly connections. Everything clicks nicely and is secure, which is exactly what I (and all other gamers) want when I’m gearing up for a game night with my friends.
Whether you’re a solo player rotating through Joy-Cons or someone who always has friends over, this little charging dock keeps your setup organized and your controllers ready to go. And honestly? It just feels good to finally be that person with fully charged gear. Because who wants to have to pause midway through a Mario Kart race
Right now, you can grab this Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controller charging station for just $16.99 (reg. $29.99). Act now to fix one of the most pesky Switch issues and enjoy fully charged Joy-Cons every time.
