When I saw the wand controller on offer from Babeland I jumped at the chance to review it. Who wouldn’t want to have variable speed for their Hitachi Magic Wand at the tips of their fingers? The Magic Wand is awesome, but you have only two speed settings. I know from using the sybian that having the speed of vibration varied can really add to the experience. The wand controller also adds a little to the length of your cord.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t as spectacular as I had hoped. The wand controller is basically a rheostat. It does, indeed, vary the speed but the huge disappointment is that the highest setting on the wand controller is much weaker than the highest setting the Magic Wand is capable of. Control over the settings is good, having a weaker vibe because of it is not. MasterDoc and I were both perplexed as to why it would sap so much power from the wand as a rheostat should just provide variability. He played around with the settings on the controller, but never did it reach the intensity of the Magic Wand by itself. This experiment was so disappointing that we haven’t used it again. It is still plugged in next to the bed, but not being used.
Babeland is a quality store, so I was bemused to find them selling such a clunker of a toy. But considering how many wonderful things they offer, an occasional dud is sure to happen. It is possible that ours is defective, but I don’t want to go to the trouble of trying a replacement, until someone else tells me their experience with it was different. The reviews I’ve found elsewhere don’t lead me to believe mine is defective. Some people would like the wand controller though, and it’s those who find the Magic Wand too intense. But if you’re a connoisseur of “weapons-grade” sex toys, you will not like this.
I rarely say this about something Babeland carries, but save your money. Don’t get the wand controller.

This toy was provided free of charge from Babeland in exchange for an honest review. I received no other benefits for this review.
This is a very interesting idea (the Magic Wand can be downright scary even in ‘low’ mode) – however, it looks so much like a model train controller I doubt I’d ever be able to take it seriously. On the other hand, powering my model railroad with a vibe controller does have its appeal…
I’ve been wondering how well this controller works. Now I know. Thank you for the helpful review. QueenCat
