Cracks after playing
Looks great, but the second day after applying, the yellow one fell off and cracks formed on the red and other heads. Considering a refund or exchanged, but see the same thing happening again. There just aren't skins for this set that can stand up to consistant playing. I have mine taped until I figure something out.
ooops
Looks really nice once installed. Just don't put it on an older system cause it will not stick very well.
I cleaned all thoroughly but the cymbals would not stick.
The ones that are left make the drums look so cool.

Compatible with PS3 and Xbox 360 Controllers
In addition to its storage utility, the Power Pyramid also charges the controllers. It contains four charging docks--two for Xbox 360 controllers and two for PS3 controllers. Whereas it is usually necessary to charge controllers via a USB connection, the Pyramid is a self-contained charger, so you won't have to worry about cables or cords.
Quick, Efficient Charging
Charging begins as soon as the controllers have been docked--most controllers can be fully charged within a few hours. The charging docks feature KONNET's Intelligent Protection System, which protects the controllers against potentially harmful overcharging.
Stylish, Modern Look
The Power Pyramid features a sleek, all-black look that complements any gaming console. Two LED lights at the apex of the Pyramid light up when the controllers are docked. In addition, each of the docks features an LED charging indicator, which lights up red when the controller is being charged, and blue when charging is complete.
The KONNET PS3 and Xbox 360 Power Pyramid is backed by a one-year manufacturer's warranty.

Very good
The idea is great, the product looks good and is convenient (when it works). After owning this for about a month and a half, the ps3 ports stopped working. The controllers were no longer being charged and the lights stopped working. The xbox ports are still functional however, (as of now, 3 months in). At this point it's a charger for my xbox controllers and a display stand for the ps3 controllers. I contacted the manufacturer but they have yet to get back to me.
Update:
The day after I wrote this review the company contacted me regarding the product. They were very professional, courteous and promptly replied to my emails. They shipped out a new product to me within a few days. This one is working as it should at me moment. I give this product 5 stars because of its functionality and the company provided a level of customer service that seemed to be lost in today's market. I would definitely purchase other products from them.
Charging and storage stand all in one
I like ike the features of the Power Pyramid a lot. Not only does it charge your controllers (PS3 folks know all to well that when the PS3 is off the controllers do not charge!) but it is also a well designed stand as a storage solution for your controllers as well.
Now you will always know where your controllers are and know they are fully charged the next morning. Nice product!
Almost A Great Product (plus update)
I purchased the Konnet Power Pyramid Charger from Amazon and received the delivery in the time frame promised. I needed a charger and an organizer and the item was perfect. It worked without issue until about a week ago. One of the PS3 charge slots simply stopped working and the LED light is inoperable. There was no indication that a problem even existed. It just simply won't charge. I checked to see if I could return it for a fully operational replacement however the return window closed just the day before. So I have three working charge ports, which will have to suffice, but I am really disappointed as I LIKED this product a lot and had recommended it to several friends who also purchased the pyramid charger. I expected better durability especially considering the cost. But as careful as I was inserting the controllers, I am stuck with a now less than desirable product. After all, the charge lights are cool and create a great ambiance, but without one working, it has lost a bit of that something special. I am reluctant to recommend or not recommend this product. On one hand, a cool product with serious functionality potential. On the other hand, a pricey toy that only lasted 10 weeks with two grown ups being very careful with its use. I couldn't imagine what a house full of kids might do to this. If you do buy this item, I hope you have better luck. It is almost a great product but I feel just a bit cheated because it WAS so cool for a while.
Update: I contacted Konnet via e-mail about a warranty replacement for this item. They were very courteous and accommodating. There were some minor hoops to jump through in order to satisfy their requirements to receive a replacement but nothing too frustrating. My initial contact with them was on 11 Feb 10 and I received to replacement item on 06 Mar 10. The entire ordeal consisted of 11 e-mails back and forth, re-packaging the item and mailing it at my expense (about $5 USPS), and waiting a couple of weeks for the replacement as it was shipped via "Air Mail" from Hong Kong. It would have been nice if the entire process was more streamlined but I give Konnet credit, they did exactly what they said they would do. I commend them for that. As a side note....I used the original PS3 charging method to maintain a charge for those two controllers. As for my XBox 360 controllers, I was prepared to simply use the "AA" battery compartment until I got the charging unit back but as it turns out, I was able to use them, frequently mind you, without ever having to charge them the entire time my Konnet Power Pyramid was in transit. One controller eventually lost charge but the second controller continued to hold a charge until the replacement charging device was received. I thought that was pretty cool. I use my XBox 360 about 4 times as much as my PS3. I have increased my star rating 1 star due to Konnet's customer service response.
awesome skin
This is an awesome skin for any batman fan. It is a little hard to put on the skin to the faceplate, but the rest of the skin on the console itself is well worth it.
Looks great!
I like the look and the protective skins work well in "protecting" the drums. Only problem I have is with the decals staying on around the corners and edges. Bubbles get underneath after a while and you have to rub them down to keep them fully attached.

Stylish, Sturdy, And Solid Plug-Ins.
I bought this stand for 4 Sony PS-3 remotes we have for 2 purposes: Organized storage of the remotes when not in use; And for charging the remotes without the use of cables. After living with the product for a month, I have to say it met all my expectations.
Pros:
1) The remotes plug solidly into the stand, without a lot of effort, and without a lot of wiggle.
2) The stand is sturdy, and does not tip easily.
3) Blue lights on the device look nice, and turn red when charging.
4) Overall, the styling of the device is attractive.
Cons:
1) None so far.
In summary, I would recommend and would buy this product again.
Does The Job Well
Looks kinda interesting/neat, charges four PS3 controllers, reasonably compact size, What's not to like?
How about blue LEDs that must be visible from orbit? While the controller is charging the LED is a nice tolerable red, but once it's fully charged the color changes to an absurdly bright blue. I really can't fathom who could actually think they're not only not annoying, but good looking.
But it does what it's made to do well, the only odd thing is that there's isn't a cut out along the base of the unit for the cord to go through, so it won't sit flush on its surface unless you can bring the power cord up directly underneath it or you break out the Dremel tool. Not a big deal, but an oversight nonetheless.
Great Charger!!!!
This is an awesome charger, looks great and does it's job very well. The blue LED lights are a little bright, but hey at least you know when your controller is charged right?! All in all I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this product to anyone.
Average thin dance pad
A few things about this item bothered me. It is listed as with "thick padding". The photograph of the product looks like a foam pad. I thought I was getting a foam-pad, but I did not.
The product you receive is obviously not what is shown in the photograph (the pad art is different, and the dance-pad in the photograph has contours of a foam-pad, which this does not). The arrows are not elevated, as shown in the photograph.
Instead, we have just an average non-foam dance pad. If you want a foam pad, you have to pay $30 extra for the "Beat Pad Pro" - it is sold for $70. If you spend any amount of time playing this game, you'll want a foam pad (where you can feel the arrows with your feet when you play).
Two other minor negatives: First, the pad slips more than the Konami pad which comes with the game. This was a problem even on the average "difficult" setting. Second, the arrow sensor size was smaller than what I expected. You have to touch part of the graphical arrow - if you miss by 1/4 inch, it won't set it off.
Beat Pad is not like the pictured
I think the descriptions and images of the Beat Pad Pro and Beat Pad got switched. So the description of the Beat Pad was not correct. The pad does not have padding and is flat (unlike the pictured) Hopefully people don't buy this and think they will get the better features.
Poor Performance.
If you are only playing a bit, this pad is fine. But know that it is very slippery at the bottom and if you have wood floors like me, it will move constantly while dancing on it.
Also, the material is plastic, and not the same kind that comes with the game, which is shiny and somewhat durable. No, this plastic is not as high quality. And it doesn't lay flat on the floor like the OEM pad. The edges peel up. This could possibly be fixed by leaving the pad unfolded for a long period of time, but I don't want to do that. And as someone mentioned before, the buttons are not at all elevated, so you can lose your orientation easily while playing.
I rate this a 2/5 because it is still useable, though it is very annoying. Avoid if possible. Get an OEM pad if you can.

Finally a Charging Stand that Looks Awesome!
The best thing about the Power Pyramid is that it looks great and keeps the area around my XBox 360 clean. I will no longer have my family telling me to clean up. This charging stand provides solid connections for all four of my controllers and lets me know when they are charged. I see that they have a combo model for XBox and PS3. That's cool. A good solid product.
Konnet Xbox360 Pyramid Charger
Well made product. Very cool looking. A great way to organize your controllers AND keep them fully charged!!!! My wife even likes it because it looks so much nicer than 4 controllers piled all over the end table.
Great Product
Great charger, charges very fast. The LED charging lights look really cool, and it will charge any compatible battery pack. I would definitely recommend getting the black one though, because it looks better in my opinion. Price is a little high, but it is worth it. The only real problem I have with it is the power cord, which lifts up that side of the charger. That is a very small complaint though and easily overlooked. Last thing, Konnet has pretty good customer service. I e-mailed them a question about it, and they sent a very complete reply back in 2 days. 4.5/5 Good job Konnet
