Although it has a lackluster battery life, the Sony DualSense PS5 controller is built for recharging. Xbox gamers don’t have that luxury without purchasing a third-party controller or other charging accessories (like a charging stand with reusable batteries).

This Sega Genesis-inspired Retro Controller for Switch and PC Has Never Been Cheaper on Amazon
The M30 controller by 8Bitdo, featuring an iconic design from the Sega Genesis controller, is now available on Amazon at a discounted price of $25.49.
Fortunately, the Razer Universal Quick Charging Stand is an affordable solution to the problem. This stylish Xbox controller charger replenishes battery life without stressing ports. PS5 gamers aren’t left out of the fun since the PlayStation version of the stand is also on sale.
Buyers can purchase affordable battery packs for the stock Xbox controller. However, Razer’s stand displays limited edition peripherals while topping up power levels. Branding on the PS5 charger is less subtle, with the Razer logo stamped on its front.
Not all colorways are discounted, but Razer has matching options for most designs. Surprisingly, the stand lacks the Chroma RGB lighting that highlights most Razer keyboards. More importantly, the stand’s build quality is first-rate, with thick layers of hard plastic. Its considerable weight and bottomside rubber coating keep it from tipping over.

Razer Quick Charging Stand For PlayStation 5
$20 $40 Save
$20This PlayStation 5 charging stand accommodates one DualSense wireless controller, offering fast and effortless charging. The curved cradle-like design allows for convenient one-handed navigation so users can still access their console during charging. Available in six colors (white, black, blue, pink, purple, and red) with a versatile USB-C power connection, the Razer charging station is an excellent addition to any PlayStation setup.
Gamers wouldn’t think a charging stand is ideal for playing while charging. Even so, the Razer Quick Charging Stand thrives even when held in your hands. Its ergonomic shape allows it to be held comfortably enough for non-competitive gaming. If buyers prefer a more streamlined approach, most other Xbox battery packs that use a USB-C cable also won’t interrupt gaming.
How Does Razer Improve on Charging Cradles?
Magnetic contact charging can be frustrating if not executed properly. Razer’s Quick Charging Stand cradles controllers and securely connects to contact points without slipping. Gamers can expect the stand to charge controllers completely in less than three hours. The included Xbox battery pack’s 1100 mAh capacity is not spectacular, but it will ensure many hours of playtime. An LED light on the front of the accessory keeps players informed about the charging status.
The Razer charging stand ships with battery door covers for Series X|S and Xbox One controllers. Buyers also receive a Type C to Type A charging cable. Without an included power adapter or brick, most players will keep the stand connected to consoles. The box contents are much simpler with the PS5 version, as it only comes with a charging cord.
For PlayStation gamers, having another way to recharge a controller may not be a priority. The DualSense requires no additional components to save on costly AA batteries. Also, Sony’s official DualSense Charging Stand has a marginally higher price and can seat two controllers. Still, available styles are limited, and the accessory looks rather ugly when left unused. With the Razer Universal Quick Charging Stand, PS5 owners can add flair to uniform-looking setups.
Xbox fans who live in multi-gamer households may find Razer’s accessory inadequate. The NinABXY Charging Station is an economical answer to Sony’s dual-capacity charging stand. It includes two 5520mWh battery packs, much larger than the first-party Microsoft pack. PS5 chargers also exist that offer unexpected functionality. The Oivo PS5 Slim Stand with Charging Station has the added benefit of a console cooling fan and storage for other accessories.
