HTC Vive Controller (2018) - Wireless VR Motion Controller for SteamVR & PC Gaming - Perfect for Virtual Reality Gaming, Simulation & Training

Personally I like the Wand design over the current "occulus-like" standard so I don't have any complaints there. It's good to see that HTC still makes these lovely abominations.However, as I bought this to replace a 2016 model wand (black), I can't help but feel like the battery life is significantly shorter than its predecesor. For example, I charged both controllers and after a day of use, the original 2016 model is sitting at a confortable 56% battery, while the 2018 model is already at 15%.I suppose its those Lighthouse 2.0 compliant receptors but frankly I have no idea. Still, the controller is perfectly usable, just remember to charge it after every session if you play for more than 3 hours daily.
