A small disadvantage of this game controller is that it requires batteries (2 x AA or LR06). With the appropriate equipment, this allows you to continue playing or pause charging, but it also means more battery waste. Therefore, you should order two or four rechargeable AA batteries directly. If you don't have a charger and don't want to, buy one with a USB charging port, which you can charge with your regular power supply or on the computer with a universal cable - here is an example with micro USB.
