"Worth the investment"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A worthy replacement to the many batteries I go through with my xbox controller. Battery runs low, plug it in and continue to play for a few hours and its recharged again, simple, easy.

"Excellent, but don't use with mic"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I use this all of the time; it has become the primary battery pack + charge kit for my XBOX gaming needs. It does an amazing job of doing exactly what it says it does. Charge time is very minimal, and the battery last for a very long time. When I use it, it generally lasts a few days before I need to recharge it.

There is one small little flaw. 7/10 times I have the charger plugged in whilst using a headset with a mic plugged into the controller, there is a very loud static buzz sound through the headset, which is also audible through your mic. Pulling out the cord for the mic on the headset stops it for your headset, and obviously the people on the other end of the mic, but just be aware that this happens, should you be intending to use it whilst using a mic. If you have no such intentions, then I recommend this as it will not let you down and does it's job excellently.

For reference, I am using Turtle Beach X12's, and this is where the problem occurs. Have not tested with other headsets, so may just be a one off occurance.

"Works great"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

The cable is a good length and the battery only needs to be charged every 8 – 10 hours of game play way more than advertised.

"Never run out of batteries again!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I bought this after years of replacing my Xbox 360 controller with expensive AA batteries. This cable just plugs easily into your wireless controller, you attach it to any USB port to charge it, plus you can still play your favourite video game while it's charging, that's the best part about it, you never have down time even when your controller is flat. Once it's fully charged you can unplug it and there's no need to waste money on batteries ever again. Comes with a rechargeable battery that slots into the usual spot on your controller and away you go.

"Battery did not hold charge"
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Disappointed as I found the cord shorter than I was expecting and despite trying with numerous controllers and cords, the battery would not charge

"Product is good,express delivery is fantastic"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Product and delivery great! What concerns me is the hidden costs involved- $20 for goods including gst $8 express shipping fee, obviously gst is not inclusive of cost…more so the actual delivery fee was $10 and as few cents plus gst.all up the cost Rose to 31.90 so almost $4 more than the stated price- Why-

"Not too shabby"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

They work OK, but the cables are large and bulky compared to other alternatives, and the batteries don't last as well as other brands, but for the price, not a bad option.
