last like 3-4 hours?

i play without the rumble on. mouse + kb i only changed the battery once since i bought it in 2018 used for light gaming and work when i had laptop in the old workplace, now i use it for couch gaming with my PC. it use regular AAA batteries and last forever.

xbox one controller i use energizer rechargable AA batteries and i have to charge pretty much every gaming session. both use bluetooth and both are input devices so why controller eat battery like boogie eat junk food?

If your batteries only last three or four hours on your Xbox then you are using an unbelievably fucking shitty brand of battery. Mine last 20-30 hours, maybe more as I have never actually timed it.

How old are the batteries? Xbox controller shouldn't be anywhere close to that bad.

Probably worth picking up a new set of rechargeable.

I bought the play and charge kit since Microsoft loves exploiting customers, but I usually have to charge it every 3rd or 4th day and probably about 25 hours of gameplay.

Dude get these. They last a good 50+ hours and they are cheap. No need to recharge just change and dump.

dunno seems like a lot of garbage. rechargable battery can be used for a year or more
