Overall, Good Charging Solution

Since I first got my Xbox One in 2014, I have had an Energizer dual charging station. It's one of the ones where the battery has contacts in the back that must touch the contacts on the charging base, and you have to use the controller backplates that have holes for the contacts. Lately, I have to keep taking the controllers on and off and on and off in order to get the contacts lined up for the charger to work. I finally got so frustrated that I decided to get a new solution completely.
This Insignia charger comes with two rechargeable batteries that don't have the contacts that the Energizer had. You simply put these batteries into your controller, and then you just use the backplate that came with whatever controller you have. To charge it, you just plug a micro USB into the top of the controller, or you insert them into this charging dock which has two micro USBs facing upward.
The batteries hold a charge for a decent amount of time, but the one issue that I have is inserting the controller onto the dock. While using a USB plug is more reliable than the contacts that the Energizer dock had, sometimes it's tough to get the controller into postion. You cannot see if you're lining the micro USB port on the controller with the upward facing plugs. It's getting easier as I do it more, but it is worth pointing out the trouble I had initially.
This charging solution works with the Elite controller and standard Xbox One controllers, so if you have both like me, this is a pretty good solution so you don't have to chew through AA batteries anymore.

Choose this Nintendo Switch console to play favorite games anywhere with one system. It replaces both home and portable components for a seamless experience, docking with your television or standing alone on a tabletop for outdoor action on its 6.2-inch screen. This Nintendo Switch console includes the Joy-Con detachable controller and can link with other units for multiplayer adventures.

Better than I expected, but we need more games!

I enjoy the Nintendo Switch and utilize it both as a handheld and home console almost equally. It is really cool to be able to take full size games like Zelda on the go, and then being able to play it on your TV when you get home. I use the Pro Controller whenever I play at home, and it feels good. Using the Joy-cons in the included Joy-con grip to make it like a normal controller feels odd and blocky, so I highly recommend getting a Pro Controller if you can afford it.
Whenever I first got the system and played on the go, handheld mode did feel a little cramped because of how small the Joy-cons are and how the Joy-cons are flat on the back. I rectified this by purchasing PDP armor guards, which I also left a review for on this site. These add a little bulk to the Joy-cons and give you something to grab onto the backside.
Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon, and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle are all fun games. They all take advantage and have benefits of being able to played on the go and to be played as a traditional home console experience. Each game allows you to play in short bursts which serves the portability, or you can play them for hours at a time like you would another home console.
The only issue I really have (and can be solved as time goes on) is that there aren't a whole lot of games play at this time. I am working my way through Kingdom Battle now, but in a week or two I will most likely be done with the game. I finished Zelda and I'm almost done with its DLC, and Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon 2 got old for me after a couple weeks. There are a lot of Indie titles available for download, but a lot of them are pricey.
As time goes on, more and more games will be released for the Switch, and you will have a lot more options to choose from. At this time of writing, we are averaging about one good full game per month, which if you're as big of a gamer as I am, will not be enough if this is your sole console. If you also have a PS4 or Xbox One, the Switch is a nice complimentary system because you have those consoles to play your third-party games on (Call of Duty, Battlefield, GTA, etc).
In all, this is a great system that lives up to what it's supposed to do, and as time goes on and more games are released, it will become more and more worth it. I would only buy it now if you really want to play Nintendo's exclusives, and you also have another console to play in between the Switch's game releases. This was my sole console for roughly a month, and I'm telling you, even as good as Zelda is, it can get old if it's the only game you're playing day after day.

I don't trust PSN with how many times they have been hacked, so I like the option of having a prepaid card to add funds to my PSN wallet so I can buy digital games and DLC.
This avoids having my credit card attached to my PSN account and risking a hacker getting my information.

Cool charger that gives you options!

The first charger I owned for my Xbox One was the Energizer double one that allows you to charge two controllers at once. I've been having some problems with it, one being that you have to set the controller in just right to get it going because you have to set them in horizontally. The other problem with my Energizer charger is that it only charges the batteries when you put the controller in the dock, meaning you cannot charge them while you play by plugging the controller into the console.
With this Insignia charger, both problems are taken care of! The battery compartment with this charger has a mini USB port on it itself, so you can plug the controller into the console and keep playing while it charges. The charging dock allows you to set the controller down into it upright, so it sinks into position with no trouble. Definitely recommend it!

Best bang for the buck!

I really like these thumbstick grips! Getting two sets for $5, you can't really beat that. I've been using mine for a few months now, and they still are as good as when I first bought them (using them on my Xbox One controller).
They fit on snugly and don't spin or fall off like other grips I have used before. They help improve my grip for shooting games, and they will help prolong the life of your controller by you not wearing down the thumbsticks themselves.
They sell these for the PS4 as well, and the PS4 controller's thumbsticks wear down a lot faster than Xbox's, so I definitely recommend these grips for PS4 owners as well.

Good luck skipping songs...
on January 31, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
These were the best sound quality in any pair of earbuds I have ever owned, but with one big flaw- the one button remote does not work as it should.
You press once to pause, twice in a row to skip the current song, and three times to go back to the previous song. I bought these headphones to wear while I work out, and I wanted to be able to quickly move on to the next song without having to retrieve my phone to do it.
The issue is the double-tap to skip only works 20% of the time, usually pausing the current song instead of going to the next. There's no rhyme or reason: I can press it the exact same way, and it will skip once, then pause the next time. I never once got the "three button presses to go back" to happen either.
If you just want good headphones and don't care about the one button remote, then these are good. If you're like me and it's the reason you would want these, don't get them.
