there's a type of person who always complains about AAA or AA batteries in a device because I guess they don't know those come as rechargeables? but when I use old tech with a shot battery I would give a lot if I could just pop in some of my rechargeables and they'd work perfectly…

like, I bought a wireless Xbox 360 controller and all I needed to get it to work was one of those battery holders. Just works, lasts forever. The Steam Controller has the batteries in the grips which is nice (it doesn't have vibration motors anyways). My Minidisc player lasts days off of a single AA. It's just so convenient

Xbox 360 controllers also support those battery packs but afaik you have to charge those with a proprietary connector in the controller? wow that sounds annoying. This way I just pop in a fresh pair of batteries and I'm on my way

@noiob i feel called out (im not mad, im being snarky), anyway, im aware of rechargeable batteries, i just want something where i dont have to change the batteries out, and just set it on a port or smth to charge
