Cause it's cheaper and easier for me to replace 2 batteries rather than the whole damn controller.
>play longer than 4 hours >lasts longer than 4 years
do you have any idea how hard it will be to keep a wireless ps3 controller in 2045?
So they last several hours on a single "charge", and so they may be usable for years and years instead of dying once the battery goes to shit.
10 years from now my Xbone ore XSX controller will still work, whereas my DualShock or DualSense will have long since stopped holding a charge.
Non replaceable batteries are planned obsolescence. If Microsoft got at least one thing right ever since the X360, it was this.

Pretty easy to replace a dualshock's battery. Only 4 phillips screws and a new battery costs ~$15.

I'd rather have swappable batteries than something like the DualShocks, who's batteries fail to hold a charge for more than 2-3 hours after a few years..
the chinese will keep it alive but considering how moronic sony was with early ps3 games and demanding they all succumb to sixaxis garbage it's very likely full ps3 compatibility will be a thing of the past at one point
Would you rather have proprietary batteries glued inside the controller?
Yes, because longer battery life and the chinks will 100% make those batteries' clones within a month of release.
IDK about nintendo controllers, but dualshocks use standard 3.7v batteries with JST connectors. They're incredibly common and used for a wide variety of different electronics.

I'm a PC/Switch/PS5 owner, but whats so bad about batteries in your controller? You can buy rechargables for dog cheap and Im sure Xbox makes a rechargeable pack right?
Why doesn't it have gyro controls at this point?
Nintendo and Sony made gyro a standard feature on their controllers since the mid 2000s and gyro aim has been getting increasingly common in recent years.

because 1 wouldnt be enough
Because it only plays AA games, duh
because seven ate nine
Because M$ are israelites who want to sell the rechargeable pack for $30 plus tips.
>every other controller has batteries that will eventually die and not hold any charge
>forces you to buy a new controller
Out of all the israeli shit MS does, this is not one of them. You can buy whatever fricking rechargeable AA you want and use them.

even easier to change 2 AA batteries
You have to replace AAs every few hours, but a rechargeable pack only every few years.
maybe once a week and it takes 5 seconds
???
>a new battery costs ~$15
So more expensive than 2 rechargeable AA batteries
>screw off the back
>unplug the battery
>replace
Wooooooow its so hard better buy a new controller, moron

8bitdo's SN30 pro is like 40 bucks and comes with that shit already dude. everything M$ does is israeli
>hello I'm an amerifat what are rechargeable AAs

because when they run ouit you can pop them up your ass like a pez dispenser
I prefer this method tbh. Just buy some rechargable AAs.
but you're paying extra money just to play on top of the price of the console and any games plus xbox live and or gamepass...
If $14 for a 4 pack of rechargeable batteries is going to break the bank maybe you should get out of gaming.
rechargable batteries are gods gift to man. suck on that you fricking shitty charge kit dying constantly wont even charge my controller
Cause it's cheaper and easier for me to replace 2 batteries rather than the whole damn controller.
So you can keep playing instead of charging 8 hours every 5 hours.
I have some eneloops and ikea rechargeable batteries. It’s great.

Unless there are some china knockoff minibombs available on Ali express

Do you think USB cables are all going to crumble into dust too moron?

Biggest lie ever told about Xbox controllers.

Yes, because longer battery life and the chinks will 100% make those batteries' clones within a month of release.
My PS4 controller lasts maybe 8-10 hours. I played around 100 hours of Elden Ring with my XBox controller and only changed the batteries once.
just plug it in

mine uses none

Really homies?

gyro is a meme
Because the controller is designed to run at 3 Volts.
