Is there any downside to keeping my Series X pad plugged into my wall here? Ive got a power brick and a long ass usb-c cable. Might as well conserve the life of these AAs…
What about those Eneloops everyone always raves about? How do you keep your controller going? Rechargeable battery?
Idk about downsides except ugliness and annoying cables.
I use IKEA’s LADDA rechargeables, they are Eneloops in disguise and works super, super well. Still using the first ones I bought without any noticeble loss in duration, and they last a long time. Buy the charger they have as well, it’s very good and you’re set with fresh ones always ready.
And two controllers, each with its own battery pack. One I keep fully charged, resting on the charger, and the other is the one I actively use. When the one in use is low on batteries, I swap it with the one on the charger. This way I never find myself out of juice, and don’t have to remember to plug anything in.
