I got the 8bitdo Pro 2 Wired because this didn't exist yet but it would have been a contender for sure. There aren't a lot of wired only controllers out there that use hall effect joysticks.

Yeah it's hard to replace something non existent. But you can probably DIY a battery and bluetooth into it :D

Wait what? They made a wired controller that has detachable cable but no battery? That's stupid AF.

A lot of wired controller have removable cable nowadays, better for transportation I'd say.

I take it you have never ruined an otherwise perfectly working device by breaking the permanently attached cable then?

You're missing the part of my post that mentioned replaceable battery. If anything you'll have more problems with cable detaching when in use.

Well, i've recently change the permanent cable of a 360 controler, it wasn't hard at all. 4 cable to desolder and resolder on the new cables and that's it. I think that it's easy to replace than a usb port. I've never see a non fonctionning port so for me, so it's not a problem to have it removable or not imo.

Oookay. I'll tell that to my Xbox controllers with detachable micro usb and usb c cables I guess. Or Dual Shock 3 or newer with a usb cable. Ooorrr... Want me to think of more controllers with detachable cables? Albeit most of these examples are also wireless controllers, they work 100% in wired mode with a detachable cable. And I have sure as heck never had that cable fall off without provocation. Yeet the controller across the room and you may have a different result of course. But I dare say the cable is not the issue then.

No, I did not miss anything in your post. This controller has no wireless capabilities so a battery would be rather pointless. You never said anything about wanting the Connection: Wired, 3 m detachable USB-C cable controller to have wireless capabilities, just a removable battery.

Except those cables are mostly for when you:
- run out of battery and need to charge
- want to play while charging
They are mainly to be used as wireless controllers.
This controller has no wireless capabilities so a battery would be rather pointless.
And that's my point - it should have a built in wireless functionality with easily replaceable battery.

When I play on console I'm doing it on a couch 90% of the time. I don't want to have a 5m cable running across the room while doing so.

Having wireless functionality and replaceable (optimally AA) battery would make this a strong contender for the Xbox pad alternative. Without it it's just a gimmick.

I use the XBox Series controller wired, batteries removed. Never had an issue.

I haven't had any reason to be concerned about such a thing with my USB-C peripherals. USB-C connectors sit pretty tight.
