There are not many worthy analogues of this controller at the moment, since the controller model is somewhat outdated. However, this is enough for my needs as a PC controller when I don't need a full HOTAS setup. However, I was tired of burning AA batteries for no good reason, so I ordered these. Batteries and charger work great. They arrived with enough power to be used right away, although I wouldn't take that as guaranteed with any battery. More importantly, everything works flawlessly, including the in-game charging cable, which I think is kind of a bonus. Haven't used it long enough to comment on the battery life, I've only had it for a day so far. I'll update this once I have more time on this front. However, I wanted to quickly write a review as it is easy to overlook. To be honest I am very happy with the product at this stage. Assuming the battery life is good, and I have no reason to doubt it, this is a steal at just $25 or so.
