This has often come up when I've looked, but every time I read the description (which is what I remember more) it doesn't click.

Appreciate the reply though!

So it’s really just that the battery adds a bit of weight, and someday the thing will fail and maybe cause electrical failure of the gamepad.

Emphasis added, yeah this is among the reasons I'm asking. The other reasons I've noted, but this underlies a lot of it. I don't know how long the dual-use ones' batteries may last if I'm primarily using them wired, so instead of having that in the back of mind, I'd like to get a wired controller for when gaming on devices I'm already close to (which is mostly PC, hence asking for it specifically).

This is a good list, but y'know a niche ya missed? Pressure sensitive buttons, only really useful for those emulating old games that used them, but still a fun feature to remember.

Yeah in hindsight I'm kicking myself for not having gotten one like that, but I had trouble finding wired ones at the time (and didn't think I'd get tired of the battery maintenance), which surprised me.

The cheap part of PowerA controllers is a little of why I asked, as I've not had an opportunity to ask anyone that's used them.

What about one nice comment across posts as well?

You're getting sandwiches for commenting?? ~/s~

What if it was the cops' boss, moonlighting as a pizza shop boss and ultimately as an inept robber?

Would taking notes from some dogs and rolling in foul stuff count?

Why limit your imagining to products alone? Even in that reply I'm not specifying person or thing (despite the use of "it"), and with the original question I'm asking either marketing oneself or something.

The internet has been carefully curated [...]

You mean the fuckin' corporate internet? 😜

Yes but also markets in general, because why not?
