Based on the description on their site, the controller includes a built-in battery: "8.39 Wh Li-ion battery​, 35+ hours of gameplay… "

That was disappointing for me. Specially condidering the Steam Frame’s controllers make use of AA batteries: “​One replaceable AA battery per controller, ​ 40hr battery life​”

AA Batteries might not be as convenient to use, but being able to replace them is a great advantage. All my Xbox360 controllers still work fine, but none of my PS3’ Dualshock 3s.

The official docking station could be used to recharge (rechargables) AA batteries so the functionality could remain the same.

        I have. But that isn’t what you said. You said parents aren’t using rechargeable batteries in their kids toys. And I am. I haven’t bought a disposable battery in years.

        I think you’re an abrasive person. That’s all.

            Yes. That’s what I am doing. I just told you I haven’t bought disposables in years.

              Lemmy has a reading problem today. You used a disposable in a kids toy at one point. So they have a use case in kids toy. Thats what I said originally. I never said people never are not using rechargeables in kids toys.
