Nothing made by “Turtle Beach” is the best of the best. Even their best stuff is barely good/great.
Comment on Logitech to ship mice with replaceable batteries in Europe only, following Nintendo

I switched from my fancy pants Turtle Beach Elite 800X headset, the top brand before Astro A40 and Arctis Nova Pro released, to a SteelSeries Siberia 800. Going from a dodgy, dying-battery premium headset to a midrange that comes with two batteries and more can be purchased was a (quite literal) game changer. So I can attest to Steelseries being great. Side bonus the batteries were coincidentally interchangeable with a few brands of Nokia but can’t remember which ones.
My point is, SteelSeries are a great brand and they make mice with interchangeable, AAA, batteries. Like the Rival 3

Oh yeah, I meant the most hyped headset of the time if I’m being accurate. In terms of longevity I bought one of their other headsets, it developed a fault after about 18 months (within warranty) and since it was discontinued they sent me an 800X replacement. It was great for gaming audio and stellar surround audio – felt I was cheating with hearing footsteps so well in MMOFPS – but the headset lasted 9 months before dying. After that I got SteelSeries for the convenience, and well I still own them and just need to source 3D printed earcup hinge pieces because the plastic broke. Otherwise they’re perfectly fine. Also bought new batteries

Yeah I’ve been using wireless mice that take AAA’s for years at this point. Thing is they last very long (maybe half a year) that it really doesn’t matter all that much.
