I did not want a charger that requires me to remove the silicone cover for each charge and this one suits me perfectly. Very flat, it fits easily in my TV stand. Charging takes a long time, so, the batteries forgotten problems! Two things to note: the first is that, contrary to what Mad Catz said on its website, this charger is not connected to the mains, but on the Wii (decision "Y" that sits between the Wii and its power cable, like the Big Ben brand charger). The second is that the batteries provided formed integrally with the cap, so that if you have a black Wiimote and you play without silicone case, you have a two-tone wiimote :) (if not the cover mask it all ).
