There's still the drag of having to remember to recharge it every night, even if you're taking it off.
I experience this now that I've gone from the XBox 360 to the PS4. The XBox 360 battery lasted what seemed like forever. I would go a week or two without even thinking of plugging it in to charge. The PS4 controller battery life is so bad you have to plug it back in every time you're done playing.
I've had many people say "what's the big deal, just plug it in, are you lazy or what", but it is noticeably irritating.
