I'm curious about this. There's a little switchy button thing and the batteries pop right out. I'm not sure what makes it a nightmare, I quite like the battery placement.
Rechargeable AAs like to get stuck in there since they are slightly thicker
Then that's an engineering mistake / wrong fits, instead of an "battery placement" issue
I've always used rechargeables. While I agree to some extent, the action to pop them out makes it a lot easier to get them out than in the Xbox 360 controller from around the same time. The Xbone ones are easier now but perhaps they will do steam controller 2 in a similar way to the 1 but leave a little extra clearance.
I thought it was really satisfying. Not to mention just really clever engineering. Back when I still had one I was popping the batteries in and out like it was a fidget toy, definitely wouldn't call it a nightmare
It takes an extra second to read/see what you are supposed to do, but after that I have to agree with you, I also like the placement and actions required to replace the batteries.
