With a fitting color scheme and its space-saving design, React's rechargeable solution for your Wiimote needs is not only shaping up to be the best solution for those who want a rechargeable pack for their Wiimotes that matches their Wii, but also about the most expensive choice for gamers. This accessory demands a hefty $50 entrance fee before you can enjoy it. However, the pack does include four 550 mAh batteries for your Wiimotes, so in the end, it just might not be such a bad deal after all.
What do you all think?

Pretty nice. I still can't believe Nintendo themselves have not released an accessory like this.

Bought this charger/dock at Best Buy, and it's worked well. However, you can't leave the Remotes in the Dock with it plugged in, or they may overheat/get damaged (according to the instructions).

I have the Nyko one and granted it only holds two but it also has blue LEDs and the colour scheme plus I like the fact it includes grey rubberized grip to the bottom.
This also looks pretty cool.

Yea, I also have the nyko charging station with 2 Wiimote docks, but my problem with it is that sometimes it gives me the green light for fully charged even though I just put in a Wiimote that only has 2 blinking LEDs and doesn't charge it unless I pick up the controller and put it back in repeatedly until I see the blue light for more than a few seconds... I kinda wish I bought one of the other ones, but whatever... It's doing its job... though unreliably...

550 mAh? Yick. Can you put your own normal capacity rechargeables in?

Leashes go where? They're vaguely visible towards the back, but not near the Wiimotes.
As with the Nyko, they still haven't figured a way to let you leave the neoprene Wiimote jackets on.
Blue glowing lites. Pretty.

I bought a Wiimote charge stand a couple months ago, and after the batteries lasted an entire two hours before dying, I returned it and got Season 2 of The Office for the same price. I'll sacrifice the sleek look of these stands for the reliability of old fashioned AA Battery chargers, thanks.

That's one attractive looking charging station. But where do the lanyards go?

i've been using sanyo eneloop rechargeable batteries and it has been working fine. they have a long life after a charge and its simple. i know quite a few folks who have the nyko charging stand and have had nothing but problems with it. i think rechargeables are the way to go.

Eneloops beat the pants off these docks. Much more useful, because they can go in anything not just the wiimotes.

That sounds like a pretty good deal to me. I have a 2 remote charger and want to get a new one... total I would be spending about the same amount.
My issue is still that to charge I have to not only remove the gel cover but also the wrist strap... that is annoying. This photo makes it look like the wrist strap can stay on there... but you can never tell...

As long as the charger can plug in the USB port from the Wii it wouldn't be too bad. But as someone said, the instructions say you can't leave the remotes in the dock, or they may get damaged kind of ruins this whole thing.
For frick'n $50 someone needs to get this right!

I also have the Nyco chargers and have also had problems with getting the blue LED light to come to ensure me that it is charging. When I first got it, it took me forever to get it right, but once you get the "touch" down for it, it's not too hard. Still a pain, though.

Never had an issue with my Nyko and as for the strap,I just use the little groove on the side.

Nyko works great. Never have to charge more than 2 at a time anyway. Chargers 3 & 4 aren't used as often, so all 4 chargers really don't need to be charged simultaneously.
