Charging multiple controllers

[Si.]

Hi all.

Has anyone found a good solution for charging controllers from multiple consoles? I've got a Switch, 1x and PS4 and want a single dock that I can use to charge all 3 of them without having to have multiple cables all over. I've searched online but can't find anything.

What are others with multiple consoles doing to charge things?

I have a couple of Dualshock 4's to keep charged and also a Sony headset.
I decided to purchase a 5-port USB Charging Hub (specifically an Anker IQ, 40w unit).
From this I can charge all 3 of these devices along with a tablet, a phone for example. It's small, neat and I leave it on an upstairs desk and it doesn't get in the way of anything.
It was important to NOT get anything that would attempt to fast-charge as that certainly damages the DS4's for example.
I've seen numerous "charging docks" and the like for all console platforms, this just seemed the neatest and cheapest way of doing it.

don't you have lots of USB cables lying around? that's what I'm trying to avoid.

Well I guesss it depends on what you consider "lots of USB cables" lying around. I have some short, 30cm cables and those not currently being used remained coiled up. The charger itself is "stuck" to my desk (adhesive pads on one side).
So it's solid, doesn't move around and it's cable to the mains socket is hidden behind a desk. I then just plug in which devices I want to charge (up to 5) as they need doing.
I will agree it doesn't look as neat as maybe some of the docks, but ultimately I can charge anything here.
