This product is the only reputable third-party charger that charges 2 Pro Controllers at the same time. There are some third-party ones on sale at sites like Amazon, but they're made in China and aren't brand names whatsoever, and most of them are more expensive than this one. Even Nintendo does not have any licensed chargers that can charge 2 Pro Controllers.

Thank you for contacting Insignia Products. This is —————- and it will by my absolute pleasure to assist you today with your NS-GNS2PCD Charging Station Dock since you wonder if it is safe to leave the controllers connected to it.
I am glad that you reached us with this inquiry and I understand how important this information is for you. Now, after taking the time to research I was able to confirm that the safest way to operate your controllers is to only have them connected to the Station while charging. If they stay connected for more time than that it could overcharge them periodically and eventually cause malfunction.
I hope this information is helpful for you. Please do not hesitate in contacting me back if you have any other question or inquiry, my doors are always open for you. /END
Not sure if this was Insignia just being extra cautious as I've read online about folks leaving their pro controllers on a charger or dock most of the time with no issue. And I couldn't find any answers on the web as to if the pro controllers themselves have built in overcharging protection. Anyone know?

My pleasure. Like I said, not sure if the Pro controllers themselves might have battery overcharging tech built in such as other gadgets like iPhones, tablets, etc. And I've been unable to find any info about it online. Perhaps some other folks on here might know..?

It's a legit concern but this is the standard line for literally EVERY kind of charger.
Look up the recommended method for charging your cell phone. They ALWAYS say to only plug it in while charging and not leave it on indefinitely, just to cover their butts in case something blows up. It's the same for everything.
You can get an open box for 6.99
The XB1 uses micro USB while the switch uses C.
So likely not.
