Replaceable batteries are a big advantage of XBox controllers. If you have kids, you have AA akkus anyway. 2 sets of these means only a few seconds break to change them if they go out, no cables ever. Plus when they die you just get new akkus, not a new gamepad.

But majority of people buy the rechargeable batteries and it’s not eco friendly to use those batteries as you go through loads. You literally use the cable to charge and that’s it… you get two controllers with the ps you get 1 with Xbox 🤷‍♀️ literally every Xbox owner I know has this same gripe. Bit weird if you take the batteries from kids toys to sort your own toy out as it’s selfish 🤷‍♀️ buy a battery grenade at least so you avoid that. If the controller is your only thing then you need to actually ask yourself why you game as there’s a lot more than just a controller

What? What loads??? Rechargeable nimh die like once every 4 years. So in fact it's super eco friendly, unlike dumping whole ps controllers.
