Both the design and build quality are very good. The red/green charging status lights are a nice feature. It may not be an official Sony product but when it does everything it says it does, and looks great doing it, does that matter?

Also, the two USB connections are powered and can be used as a USB-plug if you need to. I've successfully charged/powered my phone, I-Pod, MP3 Walkman, mini I-Pod speakers, camera and PSP from this.

This device is fantastic, charges controllers in no time, good to keep your controllers topped up, looks great on any desk, the charging lights are a ncie feature and it is unintrusive. Recommend.

i haven't bought this thing yet because if want to know if it has an on/off button so that i could leave the controllers in it but not charging ...
