Rechargeable batteries>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Double AA batteries.  
My Switch Pro controller and PS4 controller are just a matter of plugging it in to charge.
My Xbox One controller's battery is dead so now I have to repeatedly buy batteries or rechargeable batteries which is an inconvenience.  People really acting like it's more inconvenient to plug in a usb cable to charge your controller vs having to already 
have replacement batteries on hand to swap?
