I wish the Steam Controller used AA batteries

Yeah. AA batteries suck though! I’d be happy if they used 14500 cells or something. but the form factor was probably the issue, the controller is a chonk in the middle already with the flat battery pack

Nowadays you can get AA-shaped lithium cells. Anyways I hope free battery is easy to replace after 2 years.

According to reports it is. Not as easy as a hot-swapable une, but close. You just have to remove the back panel, pop it out and put the new one. No adhesive involved.

Week one, somebody’s going to release a CAD file for a 3D-printable shell with a removable battery cover.

If JSAUX or ExtremeRate did not already made one. Hell, DBrand already announced a companion cube skin for the Steam Machine. 😂

Amazing. This should become industry standard.
