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.


Stop it with the ad-hominem attacks.
They’ve been aggressive and stupid the entire time they’ve been in the thread. It’s not ad-hominem, it’s the truth.
And you’re not righting wrongs, you’re just tone policing. And like the dumb asshole you’re trying to defend, you’re not worth spending more time on. Bye
This is an ad-hominem attack. You’re attacking the person instead of the argument.
