Based on the description on their site, the controller includes a built-in battery: "8.39 Wh Li-ion battery​, 35+ hours of gameplay... "

That was disappointing for me. Specially condidering the Steam Frame's controllers make use of AA batteries: "​One replaceable AA battery per controller, ​ 40hr battery life​"

AA Batteries might not be as convenient to use, but being able to replace them is a great advantage. All my Xbox360 controllers still work fine, but none of my PS3' Dualshock 3s.

The official docking station could be used to recharge (rechargables) AA batteries so the functionality could remain the same.

It doesn't take a genuis to figure out that you just charge it when you're not using it.

No, but it does require attention to charge levels and remember to plug it in, which is not something I want to spend my finite mental bandwidth on.

You're getting downvoted because you're being a complete idiot.

Just because you disagree with me doesn't make me an idiot. You downvoting and acting like a jackass when someone disagrees with you does, though.

Quit being defensive about it and just move on.

Brother, what do you think you're doing here? You cannot accuse me of "being defensive" while you're doing the exact same thing...
