Razer is one of the leading manufacturers of hardware and accessories in the gaming space and continues to expand its offerings in the console space. In 2021, Razer acquired Controller Gear, an accessory company known for its excellent Xbox charging stands. Razer has since launched an updated, rebranded version of this charging stand, but it’s still based on a design that’s over four years old. Despite its outdated foundation, Razer’s charging station is still an excellent, high-quality accessory that looks good and works well. You may have to pay a bit more for the privilege of fit and finish, but the product is worth the price.
Razer has experience making sure its products are available in as many places as possible with plenty of supplies, and the Quick Charging Stand for Xbox is no exception. Matching charging stations for special or limited edition controllers, like the Forza Horizon 5 Limited Edition Xbox Wireless Controller or the Xbox 20th Anniversary Controller. Razer also offers Limited Edition Xbox Wireless Controller & Quick Charging Stand Duos designed after popular franchises like Marvel, Star Wars and more. These exclusive controller pairs are often quite expensive, reaching prices as high as $200, but they’re a great addition to any collection.
Each Razer Universal Quick Charging Stand for Xbox comes with the stand itself, a high-quality USB Type-A to Type-C cable, a single battery pack for your controller, and two rear battery doors (one for Xbox One Wireless Controller and one for Xbox Series X|S Wireless Controller). The Razer Universal Quick Charging Stand for Xbox is based on the foundation originally developed by Controller Gear, now a part of Razer. The resulting product shares many similarities with its predecessor, differing only by a handful of minor differences. Fortunately, Controller Gear’s Xbox charging stands were excellent and already ranked among the best options for gamers.
Razer’s slightly different entry into this space will look instantly familiar to anyone who has already owned a Controller Gear stand, and that alone will likely keep potential buyers from “upgrading” to the new model. Razer’s stand is on the left and Controller Gear’s is on the right. Can you tell the difference? These similarities are probably enough to immediately deter anyone considering an “upgrade”, but other buyers are still well served by the Razer Quick Charging Stand.
