Same. MS has a bad track record with quality control on their controllers. If the warranty on this thing is 3 months, there's no way I'm buying one. If it's a year or more, I'll grab one.
Then you don't have enough eneloops.
Always have 4-8 charged at all times in my home to swap into various electronics.
I'm assuming my play and charge battery will fit in this or do I need to switch to AAs?
This is a pro. Silly, IGN.
Let me use my Eneloops.
Indeed. Rechargeable batteries are great as once they start to die over time you don't need a new controller
Want onw but can't justify the price as the Vanilla one is amazing as it is
I hope sony is taking notes.
The price is obnoxious. There is no justification for that.

You assume correctly. Your kit will work.

Look at that, they gave you a choice. Eneloops are better. I get to use those. You get to use what you want. Everyone wins. Choices are great.
Why would it be free? Honestly I would pay Sony for the option to remove the battery.Given me a choice by throwing one of them in with the controller for free, and letting me buy the other if I prefer it. Having both as additional purchase options is stupid.

Wat?
Every single Xbox controller I've owned since 2001 still functions fine.
That's across 15 controllers. 1 OG Xbox controller, 4 OG S controllers, 6 360 controllers (2 PC), and 3 X1 controllers. I've never heard of them having QC problems.

Pros
Feels great
Great companion app
Beautiful build and design
Tons of customisations
Cons
Price
Non-rechargeable batteries
So, how good are these Eneloops? I see people mentioning them all the time, but are they really that good? How long do they last?

How is "Non-rechargeable batteries" a con when you can put rechargeable AAs in the controller?
I bet they are...especially since Microsoft sold out already. KUDOS to MS for giving folks that spend hundreds if not thousands of hours with a controller in hand a premium option. The market for for these kind of products is obviously large enough to justify the investment.
I agree with him. I had 2 shitty Xbox one controllers. Squeaked, got loose at the seams, and the analogs got clunky and grindy. My lunar white so far solved the squeak and loose part, but now my left analog makes a spring noise when I move it.Come again?
do eneloops come in the box?
no?
then you have your answer, right?
They are using steel to minimize friction and increase the durability.I wonder if stick drift will be an issue on these, every 360 controller I have eventually got it. Do Xbox one controllers in general have this issue? Also I wonder if Microsoft will enable the headphone port for PC users.

This doesn't need batteries if it's plugged into the console via the included USB cable, right?
The price is obnoxious. There is no justification for that.
I'd also like for this controller to have adjustable tightness on the sticks. The tighter, the better. 360 had it nice.
