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.

    Get some sun? 35hrs is quite awhile.

    Also fuck off with that attitude, you’re getting all worked up about a fucking toy. Grow up

        Please by all means, I just ask that you save your vitriol for something a little more important than game controller power supply. There’s no jack-offs here, we’re just having a discussion.
