The PS3 does not come with a controller charger because one is not needed. The provided USB cable and a free port on the PS3 do the job quite well. However, for additional convenience, as many as a dozen third party chargers are available and the Touchcharge kit is one of the more innovative solutions.

Here are the Touchcharge main features:

+ eliminates the need to physically plug/unplug the controller adding significant convenience to the charging process

= like all dedicated chargers, does not take up USB ports on the PS3

will charge only one controller at a time

the 2 supplied adapters allow for up to and no more than 2 controllers, unless you are willing to swap the adapters on and off between controllers

the charge adapters add bulk to the controller

conflicts with other devices that can be attached to the controller such as the Sony-made keyboard attachment

As noted above, there is one big positive, the Touchcharge main feature that sets it apart from the crowd but the convenience of not having to plug the controller in and out of the charger is counterbalanced by several small negatives of which the added bulk and the 2-controller limitation are the most significant.

The Touchcharge is not for everyone but those who purchase one while aware of both the positives and the noted shortcomings should be pleased with what they get.

Excellent product. It actually adds a little weight to the controller, but nothing that is distracting or impairs usage. Its great being able to just put the charger on a pad and not have to fiddle plugging in any chords.

This is the best option for charging your ps3 controllers. Just put on the little clips that go over the socket on the ps3 controllers and lay them on the charging pad. And just and FYI..........You can charge up to 4 controllers at one time by laying them on the corners of the charging pad. This is a great invention....just lay them down and forgetaboutit!

You'll realize what a big difference these make once you have them. I don't give a lot of reviews but these are well worth it.

first off, yes it is easy enough to use a cable to charge it with a usb cable, but sometimes you dont want to have to have your ps3 on, or deal with the mess of cables.

This is an easy solution, you just click on the adapter, which adds metal tabs on the bottom of the controller, then place the controller on the pad.

the lights on the controller light up to let you know its charging.

there is also a blue light on the charge pad that ALWAYS stays on to let you know it has power. this is kinda of annoying, since its very bright in a dark room. actually, the only downside i see is the fact there is no on/off switch on the pad. so i usually leave the cable right next to it, and just plug it in when i think the controllers need a charge.

i use the adapter loosely, i dont "clip" it all the way around, i just plug it in then place the controller on the mat, then when its done i take the controller off the clip and leave the clip on the mat. Its not that it gets in the way when gaming, i am just use to not having the adapter on the controller.

another reason i leave the charging clip on the mat is because some times i plug my plantronics voyager and PS3 wireless keypad into it and it will charge them as well.

overall its a great buy and is useful for more then just the conrtollers. only major downside, not having a on/off switch.

i bought this after our energizer charger poofed out, and am glad we did! it can't get any more simple than placing the controllers on the charge pad. it's been in use for a few weeks now, and so far so smooth. it seems to charge fairly quickly and last for a decent amount of time.

my only issue with it, is that to make use of the charge pad, you must adhere the company's battery pack on the controller. yes, it makes it bulkier, but it hasn't been a bother while playing.

our wiimote charger (also energizer) is starting to crap out as well, so i am looking into this same brand of charger for those.

a good buy, if a little expensive.
