Any good for Xbox controllers or should I go for higher capacity?

Higher capacity, but less charge cycles...500 instead of 2,100 for standard capacity

I'd use the standard capacity for most low current devices. I believe that your controller would qualify as low current...unlike a large professional camera flash.

Weird. The coupon is initially accepted, but after I enter payment info, I get this error message:

"The item(s) in your shopping cart does not qualify for the discount with the promo code EMCTUVE62 you've entered. Please check again or contact customer service."

I only get maybe 100 cycles out of any NiMH rechargeables before they're garbage, due to age and lack of maintenance. Only with select (diy) electronics that cycle batteries often can I see coming anywhere close to these numbers.

Lots of dead standard and high capacity eneloops in my bin.

It's not a concern.

$13.49 / 8 qty is $1.69 each for me, or $1.85 each for my tax rate. Ikea LADDA are $6.99 / 4 qty, so $1.75 each before tax. So, okay/good deal in my book, pretty matches past deals back in Ootober-2018.

500 recharges are good enough for me and my use.

Now I need some AAA...they do have the 4 pack AAA at $9.74 (with promo: EMCTUVE59), not a deal for the AAA's.

Yes, I use these with my XB1 controller. Charge a pair while I use the other. At 2550mAh they last way longer than the Microsoft OEM packs. I use the Fujitsu charger that doubles as a portable phone charger.

Ni-MH batteries don't need any maintenance. I have batteries from 10+ years ago with hundreds of cycles on them that are still going strong. The most important factor in their longevity is the charging current. Use a low current charger (200-300mA) instead of a fast (500+mA) charger to extend the life of your batteries. Some batteries are not designed for fast charging and get very hot during the fast charge and die after a few cycles. I had a set of Kodaks that did not even last 10 cycles in my 400mA charger.

They don't need maintenance cycles, but letting them sit depleted, or not storing them in a cool environment are ways to decrease their life. I have dozens of Eneloops (both standard and high capacity), Fujitsu, and both wrapped Eneloop and Chinese AmazonBasics AA cells 2-3 years old, and many barely break 1000mAh on a full cycle on a 100mA discharge test, and the increased internal resistance makes them worthless in a lot of devices.

Since I have plenty of spares, I charge them at lower currents. I just bought some new cells weeks ago due to the insufficient performance of these older ones, and just picked up more from this post. I also need to replace all my AAA cells - many are down to 400mAh remaining, which isn't great in devices that should last a month per charge and start beeping in the middle of the night when on low battery (not a smoke detector, but just as annoying).
