>wireless keyboard uses 2 AAA batteries, and despite using it for hours every day it's still on the original set after 18 months>wireless mouse uses 1 AA battery, has only needed it changed once in the same time period>meanwhile my xbox controller guzzles AAs like there's no tomorrow, they last about 2 weeks at best. i've never had rumble turned on either
>>107623700Always listening...
>>107623700guessing:>a keyboard only sends a signal when a key is pressed>a mouse has to send a signal at its polling rate whenever it moves, if not continually>the controller has two analog sticks and possibly two analog triggers that are polled like a mouseI'm also wondering how significant the power use is for receiving signals on the controller, considering that even if you have rumble off it's probably still listening for messages from your computer continually.
2.4GHz wireless that is never disconnected vs probably bluetooth LTE that only turns on when needed.
Just buy rechargeable AAs bro they're like 10 bucks on amazon charger included.
