Not bad but battery size a bit small.
I've seen other Wii chargers/docking stations before which looked bulky or needed you to plug in the whole Wii remote to get the thing to recharge but this is quite small and allows you to plug it into any USB port (PC, Wii, PS2...). If you have a cover over the Wii remote you will need to remove part of it in order to recharge the battery however.

The package claims up to 15 hours of gameplay but I found it did less especially if you plug in the nunchuck attachment. The battery provided is only 1100mAH size which is fine but there are larger battery capacities available giving you more gametime, the downside being is that they take longer to recharge. I bought this for £5 so I'm not complaining. If you are looking for a cheap way to save money on regular batteries and do your bit for the planet this might be worth it.
