Some people choose to play with wired controllers for exactly this reason.

And I've been told that Play and Charge adapters only charge, the signal is still wireless.

This is why I use wired keyboard and mouse. -- nm - Qale Aug 31, 12:21
I use a wired controller only because batteries don't last long and are very expensive. - Krusty Aug 31, 12:18 6
- My charger lets me play 5 or so Halo nights before I need to recharge. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 12:19 5
  - Which charger/batteries do you use? I've had no luck with them. -- nm - Krusty Aug 31, 12:20 3
    - I use the Microsoft Play and Charge kit, and it lasts quite a while (although in recent weeks, the battery is developing memory issues) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 12:21 2
      - ^this. I have 3 rechargable batteries, so I always have one at least charged up. Saves a ton of money. -- nm - Remlik Aug 31, 12:36
      - mine has too, the battery charge fluctuates wildly. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 31, 12:23
  - so they last about 2 nights for the average player. I see. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 12:20
Good to know. I'm getting sick of charging batteries. -- nm - lileve Aug 31, 12:12 6
- 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
      - The wireless ones doo -- nm - lileve Aug 31, 12:19
    - Yeah, that gets old quick. I love my charger enough that I debate on a second one, even though I am the only one that uses them. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 12:17 1
      - isn't your charger a double charger? -- nm - Remlik Aug 31, 12:36
ayup. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 31, 12:11
