I dunno, with that controller, I kinda expect it to die completely at some point. I was supposed to fire that controller up every few months for a bit to keep the battery good, but it's been sitting for years now with only maybe a couple times that I've used it. I liked the concept, personally, but fuck electronics that don't have batteries designed to be easily replaced.

But the gamepad battery is easily replaced? Easier than on a Nintendo Switch or Switch Pro Controller for sure.
