Xbox still having u use double A batteries is just unacceptable

Buy some enloops or duracell rechargables like a civilized human being and keep it movin

If Xbox used wired controllers these nikkas would be arguing with me about how nobody couch is that far from the TV anyway

Most Xbox controllers don’t last more than a year. Meanwhile my day 1 PS4 controller still working like butter, battery working just fine and everything

I bought my ps4 slim in march 2017 and my xbox in November 2017. ps4 controller is dead(battery and left thumbstickstick) while my 2017 xbox controller is still here.

They have higher capacities and run longer. What's the issue?

Don't buy those dollar store Heavy Duty sets and get some Energizer Lithiums and you're set on disposables.

Why the flat out lies about Xbox controller life

Fact, the ps4 controller last and average of 7hrs.
I use my Xbox and day everyday and charge once a week, maybe 1.5x a week on average. Link to any article doing comparisons and it's not even close ($10 battery pack)

The ps5 with all it's haptic feedback rumble, expect controllers to run out mad quick on ps5. Sony already claimed they are better but they based that off what? Not all games rumble the same so who really knows. Not you tho

How about push square. com?
PS5 Controller: DualSense Features, Price, and Battery Life

See how thrilled they sound about the battery life? See how they had nothing to tell you, there sections didn't need to be there. Sounded like a good idea when they made the report but they can only go off what Sony is willing to reveal and well you think this would be a secret if it wasn't an issue? They would be screaming from the mountain tops how their controller doesn't die fast like ds4's did. Why am I the only person really going in depth about this, real talk?

You know the answer, I'm just the messenger...

I actually prefer it...less wires...and eliminates me having to buy two controllers for each system since I game for long hours at a time to the point of having to switch to another controller

Couple of my PS4 controllers broke down

ya idk that to be a “fact” re: xbox controllers...all of my controllers hold up...even the pro controller (no drift)...the only controller I ever had an issue with was a DS3 I threw at a wall...it just randomly stopped working after that

Perhaps I was wrong. There’s always people in the Xbox subreddit complaining that their controllers developed drift, tho.

How are you all PS4 controllers going dead?

I never had this problem with the PS3 or PS4 controllers.

I’m not saying it doesn’t happen...but to say it does for “most xbox controllers” within a year...idk if that’s factual

It should come with the rechargeable pack that you can buy separately with the option of you using your own batteries as well.

ya making folks pay extra for it is trifling...even tho it’s just $20

them AA batteries on my 360 controllers lasted longer than a ps4 controller charge if we being honest.

I can actually agree with this My 360 controller never had to get a new pair of batteries for at least 2 months depending on frequent I’ve played my 360.
