Good charging station but with defects

I bought to have this station at a decorative storage for the controller. At first I was skeptical as to whether the controller but would keep well which proved to be unfounded and is now next to the Xbox a real eye-catcher. I would now like to briefly list the advantages and disadvantages that are noticed:

Pro:
- Despite a slight plastic this bracket is very stable.
- You can tell whether the station is ready, invites or the controller are loaded via the 2-colored LED.
- Fits optically very good, in my opinion, for Xbox

Cons:
- The USB charging cable is measured with generous about 80cm short. If one is not willing to buy here an extension or any other has to do must be relatively close to the Xbox the charging station.
- If you want to save electricity costs, so this article is absolutely not recommended. If you leave plugged the controller and disconnects the power supply of the Xbox or a USB power supply, the LEDs appear to provide the battery pack of the controller. The station is lit in this case merrily. You should not even think about it and use the Xbox not regularly, so you have every time the problem is that the battery of the controller have been discharged.
- Through the above point, the station so a permanent power supply needs.

In summary, an optically nice charging station, but not as technically sophisticated. In today's world, where electricity is becoming more expensive, it is in my opinion so intolerable that you have to leave the charging station even when loaded controllers on the network. Here if you want to save power so you will be punished for some time, discharge the controllers.
Here everyone must themselves make a decision for themselves what is important to him and whether you're willing to live with the negative characteristics.
