The official one is only like 14 bucks. That's the one I bought and it works great.
I have this and it's glorious. Not exactly cheap, but no cables to worry about, the controller port doesn't get damaged over time, and you don't have to walk over to the TV.
Oh man, my heart goes out to you having to move and set everything up all over again. But that will make your cord management easier than trying to tear up your current setup I’d imagine. I recently did mine with cable zip ties and the occasional twisties from bread bags and whatnot. And used clear tape and white speaker wire for my Atmos height speakers mounted above my TV on the wall, so they almost look professionally done rather than speaker wiring draped everywhere.
I now keep my PSVR in this hard case for $20 that I think is well worth it. And then wrap the cord that goes to the box around the case itself (or detach it entirely and then store it inside the case and plug it back in when I’m ready to play more VR). Looking forward to the PSVR2 that is rumored to have wireless/ranged options. And then I have this old PS3 Move Charging Base that I tuck away behind my TV stand, so I can charge my two Moves through my big powerstrip. And I also hide my AIM controller underneath the stand, and charge it via my PS4/XB1X/home theater receiver’s USB port whenever needed. I’m looking forward to a future where everything charges and connects wirelessly!! Good luck with your move!
Or buy a new, high capacity battery replacement for like $10: https://www.amazon.com/Extended-Replacement-Playstation-Controller-CECH-ZCM1E-CECH-ZCM1U/dp/B01IIT2AT8/ref=pd_lpo_107_tr_t_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=3RKGA7D9MJ4HKRM6CDD2
You could buy one of these

I don’t want dust on it or risk it getting knocked over. I use the PowerA case and the official move charging station.
I started with the PowerA Display Station but didn’t care for it. It took up too much space and the headset kept sliding down.

Amazon free one day and not a problem to return if needed.
No, it is for the most part not present. The game doesn't have auto aim in it, however blind firing will occasionally do so if a enemy is close enough, but not all the time. Other games I can't speak for as I don't which shooters you're specifically wanting to play.
As for the controller question. They will only charge while the console is on. To charge controllers while the console is off you will need a charging station like in the link provided. https://www.amazon.com/PS3-DualShock-3-Charging-Station-Playstation/dp/B004T7IRS2
Why not just get the standard Move controller charger?

I'm sure it's cheaper somwhere, but it does a great job with these controllers and it looks nice.
I bought this one on amazon. It looks amazing (something i wouldn't mind sitting out all the time) and functions extremely well, plus you free up usb ports on your ps4 by having it, otherwise you are either unplugging your vr to charge them on a OG ps4 or you are taking up every single port on your PS4 pro.
If you want a stand that charges both move and controllers this is the one talked about most on here, I would definitely get that, especially for the price. If i had the room (my shelf is to small for it) and no kids to destroy my headset this is what i would have bought.
Nope.
This is the one they're referring to:

Second one I linked is a later rebrand with 2 DS4 adapters to use it with PS4 as a Sony attempted to "recycle" excess accessories produced during the PS3 Move era.
I remember picking my first one up for $5 clearance in Walmart before PSVR and then they hiked up in price after demand soared for Move wands.

There are other brands but here is a headstart.
For charging controllers, I just purchased one of these. I look snazzy and holds the controllers as well instead of having them flopping all over my entertainment center.
My only concern now is can I leave one on the charger plugged in even after it's fully charged without causing harm to the battery. :DActually just answered my own question by reading one of the reviews where they state that the current shuts off when the charge is complete. Yay! :DI'm not entirely sure, but if you use the Remote Play option with a PSP the system goes into some sort of sleep mode that might allow you to charge your controllers.
That being said, it's worth it to pick this up. It's fantastic and like all Sony hardware very well built. http://www.amazon.com/PS3-DualShock-3-Charging-Station-Playstation/dp/B004T7IRS2/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1312403018&sr=8-10
Nice set up! You can also add the official sound bar and the absolutely terribly designed official controller charging station.*
​
*Can fail in three ways: lose/break the charging clips, lose the adapter cable, lose the power cable. What was Sony thinking?
I just realised I forgot to link what I use! I use this.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003O6G114/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1483032350&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=move+charger&dpPl=1&dpID=31d9kvVy%2BBL&ref=plSrch
Any of the charging headset stands made for the psvr will work with any move controllers, since they're the same for ps3/ps4.
Here's an example.

I'm not a big car game person either but the vr makes it much more fun for me.
I have this one for a few years now and it still works great:

Just in case you were ever interested, buying this charging station was the best thing ever. When I'm done playing, I just set the controller back on the charger and when I'm ready to play I have a fully charged controller. I highly, highly recommend this charger, but 40 bucks is kind of deep. It was on sale for 25 at Christmas and I'd recommend buying it at that price.
Do yourself the favor of buying a charging dock. It looks like the official ones aren't being made anymore so I'd go with this. Keeps your controllers charged and organized. Also, try craigslist or ebay for game bundles, but buying used on amazon is going to be dirt cheap. Definitely look into the HD collections. Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, Metal Gear Solid, God of War (grab the one with God of War 3 in it), Devil May Cry, and more are all super solid.
I have one of these http://www.amazon.com/TRON-Legacy-Slim-Powerstation-Playstation-3/dp/B00447WC88 it adds 4 more USB slots to the 2 on the unit.
I use this one, i got it on sale for $20, Here is a used one. But a quick search showed this
this
Yea, lots of options. Also If your battery ever does die buy this It has i believe double the capacity of the stock battery. Very easy to replace just look up a tutorial on youtube.
I have This one, charges both at once, I bought it used from Gamestop for $12 I think.
seems the CECHZC2U uses the LIP 1359 one amazon link https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Playstation-Dualshock-Controller-Installation-3/dp/B01HONEAEC
I bout the PS3 ones from a local gamestop for $25 each. They work fine with the PSVR and the battery life is still great on them. I do recommend a charging dock for them though. I got this one and it works great for them.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00439DIZ8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
looks like I can still use these, so I'm happy
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00439DIZ8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
PS3 branded ones are fine. No difference at all.
I got this last week. Would serve you fine.
I bought one of these for my 360 at a non-ridiculous price. When I get a PS3, I'll get one for it.
Convenient as all get-out.
Share the love!
My boyfriend is the worst at remembering to plug in his ps3 controllers! So something like this sitting right in front of the TV might remind him to charge them. 90% of the time when we try to use the ps3 at least one or both controllers are dead..

You can find these cheap at used game stores, but it's worth the $20 if you don't want to go on the hunt. Had mine since PS3.
I use this to charge my controllers.

I've had this one for a few months, works really well. Not sure if it's larger than what you're looking for, though.
The original Sony PS3 dualshock charger:
PS3 DualShock 3 Charging Station https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004T7IRS2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_mpwFyb1GKQK9V
I grabbed one of these and have been very pleased. Not very expensive and looks slick as snot next to my entertainment center.
I charge mine using the Energizer Power and Play.
The controller battery maybe dying. I hand similar problems with one of my controllers. I pulled apart a controller that buttons were sticking on and used it's battery. If you do not have an extra controller for parts, you can buy a replacement for under $5 on amazon heres the link

I only looked real quick so I don't know how good of a deal that is.
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Move-Charging-Station-3/dp/B003O6G114
Will this still work then?
https://www.amazon.com/Playstation-Energizer-Power-Charging-System-3/dp/B00439DIZ8
I feel like this is way too much to risk to save ten dollars.
Edit: or eleven dollars w/ free shipping
I don't that would work because I use charging station
Get the official Move charging kit, it's perfect:
https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Move-Charging-Station-3/dp/B003O6G114
You can't charge the headset so I'm not sure what you mean with charging "all 3".
Not all USB chargers are the same, I have some chargers that will charge them, and others that won't. I'm not entirely clear what the difference is but ll the higher quality ones seem to work.
Or get a dock to keep them neat and charge them.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FWK340
Did quick reserach HERE and it seems to work with OEM. I’ll throw it in for free if you like
Heh, that literally just Sony's PS Move Charger except they added cup adapters for the dualshock 4. They even still have the move logo on them. They must have a lot of excess inventory so they're just throwing controller adapters in with them to get rid of them.
Here is the actual Move charger for comparison:
http://www.amazon.ca/PlayStation-Move-Charging-Station-Standard/dp/B003O6G114
That's kind of ghetto imo. Unless you need a move charger as well I would just stick with the Power A model. It works great, is licensed, and is a better design.

I got one of these on clearance at Toys R Us for $9. Works so good, I went and bought another just in case it dies.
