Based on the description on their site, the controller includes a built-in battery: "8.39 Wh Li-ion battery, 35+ hours of gameplay… "
That was disappointing for me. Specially condidering the Steam Frame’s controllers make use of AA batteries: “One replaceable AA battery per controller, 40hr battery life”
AA Batteries might not be as convenient to use, but being able to replace them is a great advantage. All my Xbox360 controllers still work fine, but none of my PS3’ Dualshock 3s.
The official docking station could be used to recharge (rechargables) AA batteries so the functionality could remain the same.


Wow, that was super unnecessary…
It’s based on the bullshit you’ve been spewing about AA. And that last statement is just the cherry on top.
You’re not in this for longevity of device usage, you’re in this for convenience. Gtfo.
Expecting my devices to be convenient? Oh, the horror…
LMAO you’re even twisting my words. Taking the piss I see. Fuck right off.
You yourself mentioned device longevity then came out with not even wanting a device serviceable with a fucking screwdriver. That’s not wanting convenience, it’s being a fucking blob of lard too lazy to move your fingers.
Fuck back off to your cheeto-encrusted gamer chair, lazy ass bum.
Jesus, I’ve never seen anyone get so worked up over something so insignificant. Are you okay, buddy?
