Unlike Xbox pads. Can't just toss in batteries. Nope. It's dead. I've gotta stay wired or get a new pad. That's such shit. Also why do they die so fast?

Beyond infuriating to me. Let me toss in a couple AA's and call it new again.

Well son. They power my Xbox pad for 20-30 hours. Pop in new ones when dead

Dualsense… once it's dead. It's DONE.

Which would you want?

I have a charging dock and switch controllers. I rarely ever play long enough that the battery dies in the first place.

When my Dualsense died I'll just spend 2 minutes putting in a new battery.

What battery do they take? So I can Buy new ones? Install them?

I just wish it had cheap ass AA's that lasted ages. Once dead. Install in 1 second.

It's insane companies are against this practice. Apple is no different on their phones which I've owned since the OG in 2007. They FORCE you to go pay an arm and leg for a replacement

I'm not suggesting anything

I'm god damn stating a fact and this is part of the problem

A suggestion is one fact. This is objectively fact. This bullshit is tired. Let me throw in batteries and be on my way. Cost me what? $70-$80 for this junk drifting nonsense (not speaking specifically on PS5 but controllers overall)
 
As someone with two young kids, fuck all you battery people. All these cheap ass kid shit constantly harassing me. I'm debating never buying my kids anything without rechargeable batteries.

So no, you're wrong. Charge your controller like everything else in your adult life. And move out of your parents basement.

Buy a 20 pack of AA for $10. Charge that fucker for years and not worry about it. I dont wanna buy 2 controllers and what is a portable battery? It recharges a battery that can't hold a charge? I'll need an explanation

To be fair to OP the default battery sucks. Was stuck with a controller that could barely last an hour, but I found a different solution. Took my Dualsense apart and swapped in a 3rd-party high capacity battery.

The only argument I could make for the original battery is its slightly lighter than a hi capacity battery. Still feels like Sony cheaped out.

Bro. It won't HOLD A CHARGE ANYMORE. It's DEAD TO LIFE. Where can't you read? I'm grown and pay my own way. Personal attacks arent needed. Also no one cares you have kids but YOU ya moron. They're your problem. I'm speaking on gaming pads here

I've never had a ps rechargeable die on me. Even my ps3 one with no rumble still works. You just got a lemon.

Fanboys are the dumbest fucks alive. I swear. Whatever. Sorry for offending those jerking Sony off.

I've owned every console since 1989 (well not the off shoot ones like TG16 or NeoGeo. But the main ones) I'll not sit and pretend this is a great design. I own An iPhone and it's ok for me to say Apple is SHIT with not letting me buy and install a battery without hacking into my phone

Whatever.

You can buy replacement batteries. Bought one for 9$ from Ali Express and came with all the tools needed to open the controller (A precision scredriver and a piece of plastic). While not as easy as replacing AA batteries, it takes about 10 minutes to replace a battery if its your 1st time doing it. Just make sure to watch a youtube tutorial video showing how its done cuz all the 4 screws needed to open the Dualsense are hidden. Its not an hard operation.

Personally i prefer batteries than AA's (AA's are bigger and heavier) but a back door to easy access the battery to replace it without needing to open the controller would be welcome.
 
Геймпад Xbox — это отсталый кусок пластика, в котором нет даже простейшего гироскопа, без которого даже в шутеры нормально не поиграешь. Поэтому они редко его внедряют в свои игры. Хотите больше автономности? Купите внешний аккумулятор.

Like, what do you want?

You were given the answer in this thread, yet you still straight bitch?

I don't get it.

Maybe you're just a lazy cheapskate .. :messenger_sunglasses:

So my choice is

Stay wired like 2004

Or spend $80 on a new pad

My PREFERENCE would be a $6 pack of batteries

Again. How is this not understandable to humans?

As others have also said, I've never had a PS controller die since they've been wireless. Not saying it couldn't happen, but if it has, by you, multiple times, it might be something on your end.

Personally, it's whatever. I don't mind either option.
 
Damn casuals. Battery doesn't hold the charge anymore=waste $80 for a new controller. Cringe🤢

My batteries were holding like 1h of charge on my launch controller. Bought a new battery off of aliexpress for $10, and now, the full charge lasts 20h, which is more than twice as long as a brand new OEM set from Sony. Complaining about the drift is a valid complaint, but batteries? Come the fuck on.

How many hours are you playing at a time that this is a problem? Maybe take a break?

I appreciate that tutorials like this exist, but I would personally never want to open my controllers like this.
