Nyko Wii Charging Station

I was pretty psyched to finally quell my wiimote's insatiable battery hunger in the form of Nyko's charging station. It comes with 2 rechargeable battery packs and rubberized replacement covers. The unit works as advertised; charge, play, repeat - but 2 things slighted the experience: #1 The replacement battery covers leave the charging pins exposed to inevitable hand-sweat-corrosion. #2 The charge light indicators light up on the wrong sides, (insert controller on left, lights up on right).
While #1 seems an unavoidable annoyance, the second issue just seems like a defect. It's not a big enough problem to warrant a return for me (Yes, I can pretty much figure which controller is charging and don't really care anyway)Well, I bought it at Virgin Megastore for 30 bucks and it works, for the most part. Until there's a first party competitor out there this one seems like the best bet.
Later Hosen,
