To tell you the truth, I actually like this charging station. And contrary to what others have said, I haven't had to shove, pound, or push the battery packs in. It fits like a glove, the batteries are compatable, and they work great. The only flaw in the design is that you have to constantly take the packs out when you need to charge them. This gets annoying when the controller has to constantly re-establish a connection with the console. The charger is also odd in the sense that the charge light is red when it's charging and it turns either green or it just doesn't have a light when it's at full power. It's not that big a deal to me, especially since there are a lot more pros than cons to it. For example, it powers the controller more conservativly than a typical battery. In fact, a typical set of double AA's had already lost a bar in power after four hours of continuous play as opposed to the Nyko battery that still was at full power in the same time frame. The charging station is also small so it doesn't take up that much space, making more room for other things (more games). It's a good charge station for the avid gamer who engorges on 13 plus hours of gaming a day. If your kind of skeptical about forking out $30 for it, then I'd try and get it used or on discount like I did. Gamestop is a good retailer. They sell them for as low as $15 dollars, even lower if you have an edge card. Permitting you can find a charger, that is.
