It takes AA batteries. Buy rechargable AA batteries.

Definitely a nice controller. Certainly lighter than Elite, but feels pretty good in the hands. Once I get my rechargeable battery pack, we should be good to go.

You can't use AA batteries? 🤷

Whose bright idea was it to change the usb connections between controllers? The Starfield is usb-c and Elite is regular. So stupid to have two charging cables now.

The Elite is old, the Elite 2 is newer and has USB-C.

Are these non-OEM accessories just the same as OEM? I just hate the idea of having a non-OEM that who knows what it can do over time. I’m sure it’s fine.

How often are you people changing your batteries anyway? My AAs last a month at least. The PS5 needs charging all the time but that Xbox controller lasts a hell of a long time.

Just a warning, Costco/Kirkland batteries kinda suck. Get some eneloops next time costco has a sale on them (assuming they still have them)

Re: Xbox Series X - 11/10/20
Pretty infrequently. I mostly use an Elite 2 anymore, which has a charging cradle, so I just plop it on there every once in a while. Even when I'm gaming pretty heavily, I feel like I probably don't even charge it weekly. My couch has USB jacks in the center console, so before the Elite, if it looked like I was about to be out of juice, I'd just plug the controller in there and keep playing. Nice and lazy.

Eh, it’s fine. I realize I just need one cable as the cable that came with batteries has adapter for Elite controller input. So just pop that on and off is pretty easy. Plus, I got it for free bc Amazon sent to wrong house.

I had eneloops years ago and wasn’t impressed. Maybe they changed them but they didn’t hold a charge very well.

Well this is certainly snowballing in the wrong way:
