- Some people choose to play with wired controllers for exactly this reason. - Beryllium Aug 31, 12:07 16
  - This is why I use wired keyboard and mouse. -- nm - Qale Aug 31, 12:21

    - Wait, you don't use a charger? -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 12:13 5
      - No, a wireless one came with my elite. I bought rechargable batteries, I use them for more than gaming so it made sense. -- nm - lileve Aug 31, 12:15 4
        
        the xbox controller requires batteries? -- nm - decline Aug 31, 12:18 1
