The appeal of this OIVO stand is the number of jobs it absorbs: it holds the console upright, charges two controllers, and adds three USB ports, all from one base that fits the PS5, PS5 Slim, and PS5 Pro. We reach for it first because it solves the setup problem as well as the cooling question.
The fan has three speeds and pulls air from the base, which is the part of a vertical PS5 that sits closest to the shelf. We treat it as help with airflow rather than a cure for a console wedged into a closed cabinet: keep the vents clear, and use the higher setting during long sessions. The speed control is on the stand itself, so you can change it without opening a menu.
Two controllers charge at the same time, and the indicators on the base show charging status without making you open the PS5 menu. OIVO rates a full charge at about 2.5 hours. The three extra USB ports are the useful part for a headset dongle or a phone, but they draw from the console, so plan the rear-cable run before you slide the stand into place.
At 4.02 by 1.02 by 4.33 inches, the stand itself is compact, though the console and controllers take up the real footprint. We like the all-white finish because it disappears against the PS5 instead of adding another black box to the shelf. Measure the whole assembly, not just the base, before you commit a shelf to it.
Pros
- Fits PS5, PS5 Slim, and PS5 Pro
- Three-speed base fan
- Charges two controllers
- Adds three USB ports
Cons
- Top fan speed is audible in a quiet room
For most PS5 owners, this is the stand we point to first: it fits every current model, charges two controllers, and adds three USB ports without turning the setup into a pile of separate accessories.
