How do you power your controller?
Just curious. How do you supply power to your controller? Assuming you use one, of course. Personally I normally use a charge and play kit but when I am using my headset to chat it gives off some irritating interference so I'm sometimes forced to use rechargeable batteries for the sake of my friends' hearing.
If there is another option please post it. I don't think I've missed any.

Rechargeable batteries + wireless controller. I've used them for so long (multiple consoles, 3rd party controllers and otherwise), if I try to use anything else the lack of that added weight in the back throws my entire game off.

I used to use the play and charge kit, but they don't really fit all that well on my Halo 4 controller. I now use regular batteries.

Rechargeable batteries. Usually got 30+ hours out of them. When they're flat I just chuck them in the charger overnight and they're done by morning

For the PS3 the controllers are rechargable as standard so I can just plug them into the console, but for the Xbox I have to use that shitty Play & Charge kit.

2 RepliesWired controller > Everything else Don't have to worry about batteries. Don't have to worry about interference. Weighs less. The only disadvantage is the cable, but I game at a desk anyway, so it's hardly a disadvantage for me.

wired controller for my pc. Batteries for the 360 controller.

Rechargeable Batteries FTW! I see it as the best choice since I can use the batteries over and over and use them in different objects.
-
I used to use a charge & play kit but now I just use a wired controller, far more reliable.

When not using potatoes I use the play and charge kit although they are pretty knackered
-
I used to use Charge and Play kits, but they seem to stop working very quickly, so now I use a Quick Charge kit with 2 battery packs and just charge one while using the other.

I bought a pack of rechargeable batteries. There were 4. I only need 2 for a controller. I received a recharging station thingy for xbox controllers. It could charge two at once. I had two controllers. I play one until it cuts off, then immediately swap it out for the other.

Rechargable AA batteries. God's gift has shined upon me

8 RepliesI used to use play and charge, but the xbox would overcharge the batteries and the $20 batteries would end up lasting 30 minutes tops. Then I went on to rechargable AA batteries. They worked well for about 2 years. Now I just have a box of 100 AA batteries I got for $22. Slowly eating through them.

I bought a wired Xbox 360 controller about a year ago. I use it for Xbox and quite a few of my PC games. As much as I dislike almost everything about the 360's design, I have to admit the controller is brilliant. USB 2.0 for connectivity was a stroke of genius that I'd very much like to see continued in the next generation.
-
I just use normal batteries. I buy a big pack and use them for everything.

1 ReplyRechargeable Batteries. I have used and reused the same 4-5 sets of batteries for controllers and 2-3 sets for my headsets for over 5 years. If you run them all the way out before charging, you can get a long life out of them.

I use to use standard batteries, then I finally got rechargeable and charge and play, but eventually just went to wired. When the controller can't reach, I just use my Windows Phone for simple controls, such as during a movie.
-
My controller has a USB Mini B slot in the back of it, and it's then plugged into the mains.
-
Wired, my xbox is 2 feet from myself and monitor.

Wired. No need to constantly charge, plus the wire is long enough to play comfortably without a problem.
-
I use wired mostly. I don't want to be in the middle of a fps match and have annoying battery issues.
