Abstract: A video game controller charging device is supported directly on the top of a video game console and integrated therewith. The device includes a main body portion having a console-engaging structure for providing support to the device while positioned on top of the game console. One or more controller support surfaces, formed as cradles or docking structures for receiving game controllers, are formed on a top surface of the charging device. An extension arm engages a second surface of the game console and includes power connector integrated therein and adapted to engage a power source connection on the game console when the charging device is installed on the game console. Fastening devices may include suction devices that may be selectively activated to secure the charging device to a surface of the game console.
