Yeah I 100% agree, or even ridiculous compared to the 50 hours of the Wii u pro controller. Not sure how they got that battery so good and the upad battery so bad.
Nintendo and Sony should've implemented settings to turn off the bells and whistles (screen, light, touch pad). Instead it's all half-assed.
Can turn off display to Wii U Pad but touching any button puts the screen back on.
Can only dim the light from the Dualshock 4, netting you an hour extra of battery life.
So ridiculous. Xbox One and Pro Controller manage to be the only ones who do it right...and even then I'll have to knock points off for the One's controller not having an internal battery.
