I really needed something to use with the controllers with a rechargeable battery. This is relatively cheap from a trusted brand and really easy to setup and use. The only slightly tricky thing is you have to store the controllers in exactly the right position for it to recognise it but that is just so the connector line up. It will always go in within 2 tries and you can instantly see whe Ln it does as the leds light up red when charging and green when fully charged. Excellent and easy to use.
Does what it should, just don’t like how I can’t charge the 2nd battery when not in use, have to have 2 controllers if you want to charge both or charge 1 and use 1
Usually I play video games most of the day from up to 3-12 hours a day and this is the case especially this summer. Buying batteries stand alone is expensive and choosing to buy this twin dock charging set for rechargeable Xbox batteries has helped me a lot.
It allows me to recharge my batteries up to 100% the next day and carry on as usual. It offers ease of transition between the two batteries and also is effective in reducing the amount you spend and allows me to play games a lot.
The only fault I would say is that sometimes the placement onto the dock can be a bit off but it takes taking it off then back on again to get it right.
Overall a really reliable product and would definitely recommend to others.
Great charger for controller,like the film,..no batteries required!!which is super,as they cost a fortune and I was 4eve buying them…not no more thanks to this little beauty, just plug in,USB,n charge,I’m a fa
I’ve bought it for my son’s xbox controller and it is absolutely brilliant for charging the controller. My 11 year old is very happy with his charging dock. So overall it is a great purchase
The charging unit is lightweight. The white batteries fit in my XBox One/Series X controllers. There is good indication on when the batteries are charged with the lighting system on the front. Great purchase.
As someone who keeps putting controller everywhere, it’s nice to finally have a “home” for a controller to sit & its always charged to boot.
The battery pack was a little tight to install but it works with my series x controller no problem & I wish the dock had a little more weight to it as it moves around the TV stand with ease.
Quality seems fine & they charge the controllers fairly quickly. Do remember this item comes with new back battery covers & at first we thought they did not fit but soon realised hidden within the packaging they include 2 sets of back plates – obviously dependant on which xbox controller model you have.
Time will tell how long this item continues to work but does the job fine, well worth the purchase especially as they were reduced at great price.
I bought this a month or two ago for my two children who are certified xbox addicts. It charges relatively well, connecting via a USB connection to the back of the xbox. It would be good if this could be fed from a USB-C adapted mains socket (it’s USB-C at the back of the charging unit) as this could likely lead to faster charging.
The main downside I’ve seen is that the supplied covers don’t fit the original Xbox One controllers very well, whilst the Xbox One S fits fine. We’ve already gone through two covers as the little plastic tabs keep breaking off. Annoyingly, the controller doesn’t seem to want to charge on the dock without the cover in place.
All in all, not bad for the price, but could do with being a little more robust.
Easy to set up, works fine. You just need to insert the rechargeable battery into your controller, and fit the appropriate plastic cover (included). Then the controller sits nicely in the dock and charges. My only slight complaint is that once charged, the light stays green constantly (rather than switch off), but thankfully the light isn’t bright enough to be annoying.
One thing to note which I didn’t see anyone else mention, is the handy additional USB-A charge port on the back of the dock. This can ONLY be used to provide power for USB-A devices – you cannot connect the dock to your PC and then expect to use the additional USB-A port on the back for data transfer purposes (such as a USB stick). Useful though if you just want to charge your phone (or whatever else).
Pros:
Stylish design that matches the Xbox consoles
Rechargeable battery packs included
Charges two controllers at a time
Built-in LED display shows charging status
Extra USB output port for charging other devices
Affordable price
One-year warranty
Easy to set up
Great user experience
Cons:
A bit bulky
Battery packs can be a bit difficult to remove.
Overall, I think the pros of this product outweigh the cons. If you’re looking for a way to keep your Xbox controllers charged, I highly recommend the Xbox Series X/S Controller Charging Dock.
Overall rating: 4.5/5 stars
Would I recommend it? Yes, definitely!
I highly rate the venom batteries & charging docks. Have purchased several over the years for my sons Xbox 360, One X & now his series X. All of which have worked flawlessly & help provide hours of uninterrupted gaming
Great charging pack for the XBOX X/S. If you want re-charge ability these are great and not too pricey. I just pop the controller back on the charger when I’m finished playing and have never had a problem with low or no battery.
Okay I bought 2 in the end as easier to have one playing other docked ready the plates for the xbox controller don’t connect properly so needs to be taped on but other than that works
The only thing I would say is the battery only lasts about 6 hours. Not a huge problem and think you can get high capacity batteries if you want to extend the battery time
Product arrived in time and we’ll packaged. Battery pack fits well, not overly tight the way others have been. Only reason I’m giving 4 stars and not 5 is because when you first place the Controller on the docking station it doesn’t connect to start charging. I have to.liftnitnon amd off a few times before it establishs a connection and charging light engages to indicate its beginning to charge. Other than that it works well and battery holds charge well.
Good product, does exactly what is says on the box
Is work perfectly my son is very happy with i
The charging station and batteries included are great bang for buck! The battery life for my controllers is great and allows for me to not have to worry about changing the batteries every couple hours which will save you money in the long run. Venom always make reliable products so I do recommend these!
Such a great controller tidy and battery’s are Fri come with multiple baterry cover so you can use on Xbox ones and s controllers
This has been a god send my son was going through batteries like they was water love the dock to charge keeps it all nice and clea
Had it for a while now and charge lasts around 6 to 7 hours which is enough for me. Would recommend buying for simple charging.
Does what it should. I didnt have any issues with fit like other reviews. Has worked well since I bought it no issues at all.
I can’t believe I spent so long messing about with batteries, sensitive usb cables and the like when this glorious piece of kit is just out there waiting to improve your life.
It comes with batteries and battery covers that have slots in them so the controllers can charge without plugging anything in or taking out the battery. Just plug the power cable into the base and off you go. L-o-v-e i-t.
My daughter was going through batteries at a rate of knots so needed a new option and this charging dock is it, I think within about 2 months I will be saving a tenner a month. Happy about that.
The Dock itself is really cool, plugs into the xbox by USB so you don’t need another plug socket, when you place the controller on the Dock it lights up red o show its charging and turns green once charged.
My daughter loves it and so do I.
A great buy
Great xbox series x|s dock. Comes with battery packs which saves immensely on replacement batteries, has paid for itself within a few months and I’m not a frequent gamer. Also provides somewhere to put the controllers when not in use.
This is a good unit to charge my controller and not have to worry about over charging it as it will cut off and show a green light when charged, the batteries that come with it help a great deal as I have a spare battery now.
My son loves it and it’s great that it comes with its own batteries. Really good.
A great little addition to store your controllers, the batteries last for ages and being rechargeable they are much better for the environment which is a plus! just plug the dock into your xBox with the cable provided and away you go.
I love this product. It has a long wire so can place anywhere in the room, the controller fits perfectly and looks aesthetic, and the light representing whether the controller is on charge/fully charged is very helpful. overall it’s all you could ask for, extremely happy with the product.
Bought this model to be as small and discreet as possible and does the job. Good/easy cradle. No more changing batteries, bliss.
No problems. Fitting issues seem to be user error. There are two types of covers, one for xbox one, one for series x/s (2 of each).
Contact with the dock is not an issue either, just needs placed correctly.
Ordered this for my daughter as my son has the same set up. Came without without USB lead.
Bought for my son for Christmas, unfortunately it was faulty. Requested an exchange with supplier in the evening, replacement product was on my door the next day before I’d even returned the faulty one. This one works fine. One very happy customer, cannot recommend product or supplier enough.
Thank you
This came recommended so was confident would be good, but really impressed. Not that my son has choices but good that it comes with different battery covers depending on the console. Only criticism was no clear instructions which way the battery goes in, but if you look they do only go in one way so in this instance, you’re allowed to be a bloke and not read the instructions firs
Build quality is a little cheap but it does the job and looks nice. Batteries last about 7 hours of solid gameplay
4 stars because its good value but you can’t charge the battery via USB meaning if it runs out, you’ll have to dock it to charge it.
On the plus side, it doesn’t take too long to charge.
Much nicer slimmer looking then only model. Connection for headset is an added bonus! Git this colour to match his new controllers
Charges the wireless hand sets perfectly and will soon save me the cost of the charger by not having to purchase batteries on a regular basis
its good charges fast but its abit of a fath getting them to charge has to be in a exact position very fiddly
Easy to set up just plug in USB lead and put battery packs in to controllers and away you go, a definite must for any game
Good but battery could last a bit longer for 5 stars
The twin charging station works great, looks good with a matching white colour to match my Xbox Series S and is very user friendly. You simply just put the controller onto the docking station and that’s it. The charge lasts long enough to play ~10hrs of gaming with a headset or more without. But it charges very fast and you can charge one controller whilst using another.
Never worry about batteries again! Charges efficiently and easily – just pop the controller on the charger and hey presto! Green light indicates a full charge.
Not only did I have the battery round the wrong way for over a month and only figured that out tonight haha I’ve wondered why the back didn’t seem right to me as wouldn’t be able to charge it with that on. Now I know why. I’ve just been using the cable you get with the dock and plugged it into the back of my XSS controller for the past month. So from Xbox to controller. Doesn’t charge it but let’s you still play regardless.
Absolutely no issues, we’ll packaged, does exactly what it should do no problems. Easy to install you just plug it into the xbox and it starts charging the controllers. Comes with 2 rechargeable battery packs for the controllers so I thought this was good value for money as I’ve seen some that are just the charger ports for the same price. Depends what you need I guess.
No issues would recommend to others.
My son has had this for a while now and hasn’t let me know of any dramas, due to the adaptors that it comes with it fits the old xbox controllers and the new series x wich is why we bought it, venom are a good reliable make and his last docking station lasted well so I’m sure this one will to
The battery fits the controller perfectly and the controller nests into the dock perfectly too. It’s a clever solution that looks smart and works well.
Got this for my son when we got a new Xbox for his birthday as console controllers have to be the nemesis of EVERY battery manufacturer out there! To be fair this docking station NEARLY became my sons nemesis when he was trying to put the packs in the back of his new controllers but he got there in the end and the controllers are doing well!
Its good, I like the design its sleek and fits into my setup nicely.
Hold the charge well, no problem with the fitting of the battery covers fit well on the xbox controller x or xbox 1. Decent length of cable.
Takes away the trouble of physically changing batteries or plugging in a wire. I had to put a bit of plastic on the cradle to make sure it would charge but after I finish playing I just put it on the cradle and it’s charging, so easy and at least eight hours of play.
So the back bit where the batteries are the lid doesn’t fit lol so I had to use the original lid which I don’t mind but it sucks as I can’t charge the controller with the venom lid
This is my 2nd wireless venom charging dock the first being 7 year’s old for the xbox one and still going strong
With the new console comes an updated controller with a fractionly different battery bay so hence the need for a new dock .
It seems to be as well performing as its predecessor if not a little better looking with is black and green braided usb connection cable and contoured molding to fit the controller well.
Also I’ve noticed that the dual prongs that make contact with the charge plate on the battery are longer which should allow for skins and other stick on accessories.
Aside from slowcharge, the dock is too light but bulky.
Still a good product IMO.
We’ve used charging ports for some time now as they’re so much better than needing copious amounts of batteries, much cheaper. My son changed his Xbox one controller and didn’t really he’d purchased a controller for the new Xbox (though it still works with his). This meant the battery packs we already had no longer fitted, what a pain! Bought this and figured we’d just have to use it alongside the other charger for the spare controller. We were delighted to find that with this charger you are provided with 4 backs – 2 for the newer controllers and 2 that fit our other controllers. Wehey! REALLY pleased as we can charge them both on the same port. Makes this a great value charging port.
This item is just what I needed, it keeps my controller safe and tidy looking when I’m not using it, the Dock has a USB socket on the back which I plugged in a cable to charge my phone, tablet etc.
I’ve had a few Venom wireless chargers over the years for PS4, PS5 and now for the Xbox Series S. Whilst they are great at doing there job. I find the charging LEDs are super bright and have been on them all. I keep mine in the bedroom and have to cover them with a tv remote propped up otherwise it lights up the whole room. Just something to take note.
I bought this as the standard controllers are supplied with standard batteries which are not rechargeable. I like the idea of being able to charge both my controllers, as I have one for my xbox one and one for my xbox series. The setup is quite simple, you replace the battery with the rechargeable one, attach the new cover and place the controllers on the cradle. You plug the USB cable into your xbox and then wait until the lights go green and your controllers are ready to use.
I like this idea, although you can not charge the battery separately, but it is easy to place the controller on the cradle as soon as you finish playing if needed.
A superb product. Included in the box (as well as the doc and cable) are 2 battery packs and 4 battery covers (2*XBox One and 2*XBox Series S/X) meaning I can use it with my 1*XBox One and 1*XBox Series S/X controller and will be able to easily switch to 2*XBox Series S/X controllers. The difference between the battery covers for the two versions is slight and why Microsoft changed it is beyond me (it just forces anyone with XBox One rechargeable batteries to have to buy Series S/X versions), Venom have done a superb job here.
Charges controllers perfectly. Nice and simple, plugs into the back of your Xbox and chargers your controllers wirelessly. Much better than using multiple AA batteries. Build quality could be a bit better as it’s very light plastic but hardly matters as once you put it down you’ll barely touch it.
Works great.. Easy to set up and looks great. This is my second product from venom the first product still works even after 2 years of use and I’m hoping for another 2 years with this new product. Looks great and feels light weight highly recommend to anyone looking to save money on battery’s also if you have two controllers and play solo most the time it means you never need to worry about needing to wait for it to charge as you’ll have a spare already charged pack waiting to be used.
Great for series x. Comparable with Xbox one as well. Much better design than the previous venom twin docking station I had for my Xbox one. No difference in battery life from batteries. If you charge after use, you will never have to wait to charge your controller again! Highly recommend!
I have a Venom Charging Dock for my Xbox One controllers, but since I got the new Xbox Series X I bought this one. I found the actual Dock piece was a little bit more cheaply made and flimsy than my previous Dock, but it does the job. Putting the batteries in was a little tricky but there seems to be a knack – be sure you are pushing them in from the side rather than down from the top. The wire is of much better quality than that supplied with my previous Venom Dock and is a generous length. Not had any issues with the batteries, I play my Xbox for a few hours then store my controller on the Dock and it charges back up quickly. Pretty happy with this purchase on the whole.
This works well, as expected. Fed up of spending loads on batteries, this means the controllers can be docked and charged in between each playing session, which means there’s never a controller becoming flat in the middle of a game!
It comes with covers for the Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X controllers, so it can be used with either. The cable is pretty long too, so it can be placed a little further away from the console, so it can be on a counter-top, etc.
Overall, pretty happy with this!
Looks nice. Feels sturdy and recharges your controller so it does the job. The red/green lights on the front are very bright though so if you have this in your bedroom, you have to either disconnect the power to it or cover up the lights. Would be nice if the brightness was variable in some way.
Handy but charge should last longer for me. Setup is simple and docking into the charger is painless, only moan is the charge length, I charge with these far more often than previous batteries. Charge indicator is good and its discrete.
Really good. Looks and feels solid, works everytime, none of the adjustments to try and get the controller to sit on the charging points. improved on the previous versions. It won’t work with the older type of battery casing on the controllers, this is unfortunate but aso because those were part of the problem on the original design.
We bought a new wireless Xbox One controller for our Xbox One and found it’s had a little makeover. The charging dock we had already couldn’t be used with the new controller so we bought this. This is great and the bonus is it can be used to charge both the new and original Xbox One controllers. The 2 rechargeable batteries are separate with this one as opposed to attached to the cover piece, so the batteries will fit in both older and new style controllers. It comes with a selection of covers with charging pins that fit both types of controllers. So we are now able to use these batteries in both of our controllers and the covers for both are included to use with this newer version of the charging dock.
This charging dock has worked really well without problems. It comes with a long type C cable for the back of my PC meaning it can be placed in many areas around a desk, it also has a usb port on the back but I don’t know how much power this delivers to other devices. Some reviewers mentioned problems with the battery pack but I have not had these issues myself.
Great product – but having bought two, one of them has stopped working after less than three months – the battery pack no longer charges. Have emailed Venom, we’ll see how they respond. The other is still fine fortunately.
EDIT – I emailed Venom and although it took a little while for them to reply they’ve now sent me a replacement battery pack, no questions asked, which seems to be working well. Raised to 4* for good customer service.
After buying a new controller I noticed I needed a new charging dock and battery pack, double and triple checked that this one would be the right one for my controller only to find that it came with both battery covers for a Xbox one & the newer Xbox controller so best of both worlds!! Very confusing when the description and pictures say its absolutely not compatible with Xbox one controllers. Also comes with a nice roped 2 metre usb type-c to plug into the back of the dock to power it.
Received this item today and I’m so happy I had it on prime as it came on next day delivery. I’m pleased the seller could fulfil next day delivery. Upon opening the package I realised that there were 2 actual batteries so my son cam play and charge at the same time. There are 4 backs to where the batteries go, 2 for Xbox series X/S and 2 for the XBox one. The wire that needs to be plugged in so power runs to the charger is quite long which is great. The battery once fully charged seems to be lasting a while but I’m not sure of the exact timing. I would recommend this stellar and also the product so far I’m very happy with!
Always get the venom chargers now. It does get a bit gauling the way Microsoft change the battery compartment ever so slightly so you can’t use batteries across differing controllers, for instance you have to snap off 2 clips on the batteries to use them in xbox elite controller. But as far as the product goes they work well the life of these seem to go onnfor years. I bought a similar venom charger for mine and my sons xbox ones and they are still going and hold there charge so have high hopes for these ones too!
Got this for my teenage son. Saves us buying batteries or charging batteries because they all run out so quickly, especially because he plays it so much. He has not complained about anything and I know he would if there was the slightest discrepancy with these chargers so I know it was worth the spend. He has been using them for a few weeks now
Bought for my teenager. Does the job and he is very pleased with it. Bought for his xbox series S. As others have said .. a litte fiddly to put battery pack on , but no other issues so far.
It can be used on either the series x or the one because it comes with two different battery covers, depending which model you use it with. Comes with cable too, so it’s just plug and play. Better looking than the previous version. Keeps both controllers charged and ready to go. 5 stars all the way.
Honestly I’d prefer to just have a micro USB port on the actual battery, so I could charge it without the dock, but the battery life is good, so I got my money’s worth.
I got it 4 days ago, charger works perfectly, battery lasts for 12-13h straight gameplay not 15 as in description (maybe I push buttons to often 😀 ) but it’s within OK limits I wasn’t expecting any better.
Game changer! Why these don’t come as a standard part of the package! My son was ripping through a new set of batteries every other day! Not anymore!! Full charge in an hr, and he can literally game all evening, sometimes longer!
I have one of these for my previous Xbox One controllers and it has given me faultless service for years. That’s the reason I’ve stuck with the same brand and format this time. I have to say so far it’s every bit as effective as the first one and I would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone looking for a similar product.
Brought this as a gift for my partner, it’s perfect, he’s very impressed, it changes colour whilst charging (red) and again when charged (green) doesn’t have any lights on when no controller in it. It’s easy to place the controller in, and fits perfectly under the tv. Definitely recommend!
The other half loved it. Great quality and great addition to his gaming room.
Would have preferred the black if it was in stock but the white is also nice.
I like this thing. It’s cheap, simple to use and does what it’s supposed to do.
My biggest problem is when will manufacturers of gaming related equipment realise that we are not all 12 years old and we don’t need RGB or stupid symbols on everything. Yes, the design and everything is in keeping with the theme they are going for but where are the nice, clean, NO RGB things which grown ups can use and keep in their living rooms? Why do we need a stupid bright snake head light on the front of the charger!?!?
Anyways my rant about the styling do not detract from the fact that this a Great bit of kit, if you can find somewhere to hide it’s ugliness then I highly recommend it.

This is a must have if you own an Xbox and don’t want to have to keep replacing the batteries all the time. I don’t know why they’ve still chosen not to have a rechargeable battery on the controllers, but this after market set up works well. The controller fits nicely into the docking station (unlike others I’ve used for Playstation controllers)
My only gripe if the charging light, I wish there was a way to turn it off as it has a fair amount of nightime glow, fortunately it isn’t in the bedroom or I’d have covered it over by now.
On the plus slide the Matt white matches the series S controller and console
Sleak. Looks nice and charged the controllers up just fine. However if you are putting this in a bedroom the charging lights are really bright and can get distracting when trying to sleep.
First impressions after a days use. The battery is a reassuringly solid fit into the controller, with the controller simply resting elegantly on the charging station. The supplied braided power lead is a good 2m long which allows for charge and play.
This does exactly what it needs to do and appears to be well built, but at night the light on it is so bright it’s ridiculous. I’m lucky in that my charger is in a room off my main bedroom and so it’s toned down a bit but I can still tell that it’s on.
If this was in your actual bedroom, as many teenagers might have a console in their room, the light would just be too bright in my opinion.
These dock really easily; much better than the previous Xbox one versions. In addition, they’re usb-c cable powered, with an additional usb output at the back. In effect, you don’t lose a usb port, as the controller dock works like as pass-through.
These come with a lengthy braided green and black usb-c cable.
Overall, we’re really impressed. Highly recommended.
Excellent charger with good battery life, but is there any need for that green LED to be that bright?
Luckily this is in my living room, but beware if this is going in your bedroom, as it’s bright and doesn’t turn off once fully charged.
Ordered the above charging station twice as the battery would not click in to the xbox controller.
I must apologise to the Vendor as it was my mistake, I did not read the description well enough, it does say that it does not fit the xbox one s it says this with just a Red Cross so I would like to apologise to the vendor whole heartedly.
Not the products fault, that works fine, more the why did we need to buy new chargers? Why did they make the new controller so the battery packs wouldn’t fit. At least it isn’t expensive.
So yeah if you’ve got a series s/x. You need this. Simple as that
I’ve left 4 stars due to the battery packs only just fitting into the Controllers. Required some force as well. Shouldn’t be like this. Should be a great easy fit. This is what needs to be closely looked at.
I bought this to replace my previous Xbox’s dual cradle from Venom (which stood the test of time, both batteries & cradle).
Whilst this is a good visual improvement and the braided cable is obviously superior to the none braided in the previous version I find that you have to place th controller perfectly to get the pins aligned. I never had this issue with the previous cradle hence the four stars.
Apart from that niggle a good product and much preferred to standard rechargeable batteries.
Can’t go wrong with Venom chargers. Used them for many years and the batteries always seem to hold good charge for years. You will need one of these new chargers for the Series X and S pads due to the battery cover is slightly different in size.
Edited: arrived today and no broken parts this tome, no problem so far, looks nice, nice easy connection, the battery pack is a little hard to pull off but maybe because its new
5sta
The only gripe I have is that the dock is extremely light, which I suppose isn’t a problem when the controller is docked on it, but I would have liked it have a bit more weight behind it so that it wouldn’t move easily on my desk and would feel a bit more of a quality product.
