1st Review - Orb Accessories Magnetic Induction Charger

Here is my first review of a product that I got sent recently from Orb Accessories.


Orb are a supplier of console accessories across lots of different platforms, and their products can be bought in some major outlets like Sainsburys and Argos as well as online at Amazon.

This product is a Magnetic Induction Charger. It comes complete with 2 rechargeable battery packs and normally retails at between £20-£25 depending on where you get it.

 It basically takes the principle of the Charge and Play kit, and takes away the wire connecting your controller to the Xbox! You can either leave the battery pack in the controller and lay it on the charger, or have a spare battery sat on there charging while you play on.

The magnetic element means you simply pop the battery/charger onto the plate, and it is magnetically drawn into position and starts charging. A red light indicates charging in progress, a blue light indicates charging finished!

It really is that easy. The charger plugs via USB into your Xbox, and is very slim and easy to hide away when not in use. It really is a doddle.

I found with my old play and charge kit, I constantly had to get up and down to plug in, and got a nasty buzzing noise whilst being plugged in. Well none of that now! I have a battery on charge and one in my controller, so I'm always good to go! 

With a play and charge kit usually costing around £12, this is also excellent value for money as you get 2 battery packs and less inconvenience! What more do you want?

So give Orb a visit at www.orbaccessories.com or on Twitter at @ORB_Accs

My Rating 10/10 - The perfect charging companion - couldn't fault it.
