I don't know if my controller was defective, or if I just was mashing the crap out of it, but a pair of disposable Duracell batteries would last me less than an entire weekend. The XBox controller uses two AA batteries. However, the controller did start to feel 'heavy' after a while, and I would find myself doing things to stave off fatigue from holding it. Mild posture training and just being cognizant of the issue resolved it. I have hypermobility in my joints, so it actually doesn't hurt when I do this, but the joint is injured and hurts later. The XBox controller was comfortable, but after long sessions, I would find myself hyper extending my thumbs to stay comfortable, which would cause me problems. This is a Microsoft product being used with a Microsoft product (Windows), so it's pretty flawless for compatibility. They also were on par with the wired performance. The XBox dongle and IO Gear radio were both nearly identical, as far as I could tell, for latency and overall performance. I used an Insignia brand radio from Best Buy, which was HOT GARBAGE, as well as an IO Gear radio, which was absolutely 100% better than the other one.

The XBox One controller was used wired, wirelessly with a bluetooth radio, and using the XBox dongle. The XBox One controller replaced a 360 controller. I also used the XBox controller with a few platformer games, usually Metroidvania style. I used the controller for driving games, mostly MudRunner, DiRT, and Assetto Corsa. The last system I owned was a Wii, before that a Game Cube, and a PS2.

So, disclaimer, I don't own an XBox or PS system.
