I realize that I normally report on gadgets for the Nintendo Wii, but lately I've been getting into the PlayStation 3 accessories.

Like the Wii, many of the Playstation 3's controllers are wireless. Unlike the Wii, the controllers are not powered by batteries, but by USB to mini-USB connection. Still, it is easy to forget to charge these guys, but the Charge Base 2 from nyko makes charging very convenient.

All a user has to do is plug the Charge Base 2 into the wall, insert the dongles on the controllers, and they charge while they rest within the cradle. It takes only two hours for a full charge, and a green light indicates when it is ready. A single player with two controllers could probably go all day by switching them out.

The Charge Base 2 is available at the Nyko site for about $29.99.
