Here's the thing, I wanted a charging dock for my Xbox Series X controllers. So, I did what any person does nowadays, I searched for reviews... and then I searched for more reviews and then more. Spoiler, reviews were shockingly limited unhelpful. So, here is a helpful review.
1. quality - this charger feels solid and is easy to use; the controller fits on the dock easily, doesn't feel unstable or tippy. The led "breathes" to let you know it's charging and turns solid once charged. I've never struggled to connect the controller properly or fumbled with putting them on.
2. charging time - I haven't timed it (sorry?) but it's fast and you can charge both at once or only one at a time.
3. battery life - hours... I can't say more or I'll sound even less like I have a life than I do now, but it's hours.
4. battery covers - it comes with two one for the X and one for the Series X. They fit perfectly and they even look good on the blue controllers. The gap in the cover for the connection to the dock isn't too much. It's not too ugly and it doesn't interfere with use or plugging the controller in by usb-c.
5. usb - here's my biggest complaint, the plug for the dock is not usb, so you must use the cable it comes with, you can't use another cable and have to have a wall plug nearby. It was fine for me, but if you're out of room on your power strip, you have my sympathies.
6. battery - this one has the largest battery that I could find out of all the charging docks, so that's a plus.
7. licensed - it's officially approved by Xbox, so I don't have to worry about it killing my $60 controllers.
8. size - it's not tiny, but it doesn't take up unnecessary space, it isn't too tall or too long, pretty much perfect for storing / charging 2 controllers.
9. color - it only comes in black, which is fine because it matches my Xbox, but if you wanted it in white or to match your controller, it's not going to happen.
This is the charging dock to buy if you want to charge 2 controllers. It's easy to use, has a good battery life, doesn't take up too much space, quick charging, and looks cool. I appreciate the peace of mind of knowing Xbox was ok with it and the fact that I can store my controllers on it and not worry about where they are or if they've been charged lately.
