Powered USB charging dock thing
Discussion
In an effort to tidy up my living room, I'm looking for a decent powered USB charging dock. Ordinarily I'd go for Anker, familiarity and all that, but open to suggestions. It needs to be able to simultaneously charge an ipad, an Android phone and a PS4 DualShock, plus a couple of spare connections wouldn't go amiss. Doesn't need to do data transfer.
I think all my cables are USB2.0 at one end.

I've got several, but I like this one the best:

I have an Aukey 60w one of these. Bought it many years ago, when Qualcomm quickcharge 2.0 was the big thing and it could keep up with that. Had it in the office and shared it with a buddy.
When lockdown hit it came home and is sat on my desk now with 2x C and 2x micro leads in it, usually charging mice, watches, phones overnight, kids toys etc and it's very handy, especially for charging kids crap
However 60w is a bit slow nowadays. Trying to charge my flip3, daughters note lite and one of the amazon fire's and it gets a bit warm and the charging speeds drop. I'd go higher wattage if I bought again.

In the true spirit of PH (asking for advice then ignoring it!) I've gone for one of these for £30. Will suit my simple & cheap needs.
