The description says it includes the charging station, so that explains the price increase.

[–] any1th3r3@lemmy.ca 8 points 8 months ago

There's actually no price increase, $90 CAD is the OG Canadian MSRP.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Good, I absolutely hate how terrible the battery life is... it should have never been that bad.

[–] Simpletim@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Looks like they took it down. But good ol' trusty web archive seems to have caught it.

Xbox controllers last 40h.

I got a Wii-U Pro controller that still has battery life and I haven't charged that thing in years.

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

That thing was a battery tank

[–] timo_timboo_@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I came here to mention that thing. There must be a nuclear reactor or something like that built in.

[–] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

With less features.

The battery hogs are things like the high precision vibration and the variable resistance triggers, both of which are huge game changers.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah but then you have to have an xBox.

[–] owatnext@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn't consider the battery life on the PS5 controller to be bad? I charge it like once every two weeks (when I am not in a semester and have time to play.) But I do turn off rumble, turn down the light on it, etc.

[–] EfficientEffigy@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I didn't turn the haptics or rumble off but did set them to a lower intensity and have seen a very noticeable increment in the battery life.
