he's a brainwashed fanboy, trained to believe whatever sony does is best.
I hate internal batteries on controllers. They're usually cheap and don't last long.. ps4 and dualsense are garbage.
I put Ikea 2400mah batteries in my xbox controllers and they last weeks before needing to be recharged.

it's hilarious you're calling anyone a fanboy for Sony when you're the only one mentioning Sony in the first place.

it's even funnier that you're claiming they're defending Sony as if they're the only company who uses rechargeable batteries in their controllers, when that's literally the exact opposite: Micro$oft is the only company who still uses AA batteries in their controllers. Nintendo, Sony, 8bitdo, literally every single other company uses rechargeable batteries because they're way more convenient. And most people who use the Xbox controllers end up buying rechargeable battery packs anyways.

there is certainly a fanboy here, and it's you

E-waste Controller more like it! This will develop stick drift within 6 months.
I've honestly not had issues with stick drift at all across most of my controllers. That said, I know a lot of people do. They go through these like they're disposable. TMR should just be the standard and is superior.

Just bought a Razer Wolverine (Hall Effect) and Scuf Valor Pro (TMR). Haven't used them enough, but so far I really like my Elite 2 controller.

This and the Doom one are fantastic. This is what LE controllers should look like. Sony has the worst LE and Nintendo too. They offer NOTHING different than just a simple color swap. These have 3d etching and the doom one had little spikes. Small things to stand out.

"consumer friendly" to charge $90 for the only controller without rechargeable batteries included

even 8BITDO controllers include them and the ability to swap them for cheaper

I don't know why you all keep saying this, as nobody has used AA batteries in a Xbox controller since the 360. Everyone uses a rechargeable pack. Stop with the nonsense.
I use rechargeable envelope AAs and prefer it that way. E-waste internal battery controllers are stupid. Even replaceable battery packs are better.

Young people these days, man! 🤦🏽

I don't know why anyone would buy a stock Xbox controller these days; just buy the new 8bitdo Ultimate 3/3e coming soon, or buy a GameSir G7 Pro. You can even make the wired-only G7 Pro wireless on Xbox with simple firmware tweaks.

I love my G7 Pro, but I have my eye on that new 8bitdo, looks like the Elite but with TMRs
