The lack of internal battery is like the one big advantage the xbox controller has over dualsense. Do you not use rechargeables?

I do, but I’m used to just plugging in my controller every night with PS4 and not worrying about its battery when I start a game. But with Xbox, I have to keep reminding myself to switch out the batteries which is not as simple as plugging in a device, which we are used to doing with our smartphones.

Just get another set of batteries so when one set runs out you have the other charged and you just swap them

I do. That’s what I mean. I still have to change them out rather than plugging in with a cable at the end of the night.

But you don't have to remember to? Once the controller dies, you just take the charged set and plug the dead batteries in their place to charge. It takes 10 seconds and you don't have to remember to do anything, while you could still forget to plug in the controller at night

I see what you’re saying. But I’d rather avoid it dying on me, as I play mostly multiplayer and it’s frustrating when I’m in the heat of the moment and my controller dies. That sucks so bad!
