given the analog stick's alignment bracket is what fails, yes.

however, it does sell better in places where AA batteries are more common than micro usb to usb cables (most of the world at the time of its release.) this in turn contributes to the sale of AA batteries, perpetuating the issue from a business statistics standpoint (the cables do not become more common, owing to the batteries being used instead.)

this allows places with low centralized infrastructure to avoid infrastructure development, perpetuating regionalist myths about technology and propping up warlord governments which subsist on the myth of their own primitivism.

How funny would it be if Tesla ran off of AA Batteries?

I just use a third party charger with 4 batteries and each battery lasts about 22 hours. So I just switch it when I use it.
One 2.4V / 1100mAh rechargeable Ni-MH battery.

Imagine trying to work out which battery is causing the problem and needs either fiddling with or replacing.
It's not «stupid», it's more like «outdated».
What? Are you using the OG xbox controller?
Yeah but it'll run off that AA battery far longer than you'll get a single charge out of Playstation controller. They're also built like tanks compared to Playstation controllers which seem to be made out of the cheapest plastic Sony could source.

Electroboom jumpstarted his Toyota using AAs.
I like the aa option more control and batteries cheaper than a special brick

Was it a Yaris? :steammocking:
The elite controller or whatever uses a battery pack. i only play wired anyway so i am more than happy with not putting batteries in it at all.
They don't even use AA though, that's just optional, you get 4 battery bricks and a charger bank for $20 or maybe $30.
I use rechargeable batteries.
Well, i can agree, now that i considered this topic
