Oculus Rift S controllers run off a single AA each as well.

It's a good choice though led to us going through AA's at a horrible rate in our house.

You can buy rechargeable AA batteries[0,1] though. I only have those at home (toothbrush, remotes, etc.).

Eneloops are a high quality AA option. Standard choice for flashlight nerds.

It's actually remarkable how closely the Rift S has followed in WMR's footsteps. I'd be curious to know how Lenovo has managed the risk of infringing Microsoft's IP (and likewise the risk of being implicated in any possible cases of Microsoft treading on Oculus' toes), given the similarities and their prior experience with WMR.

I’m happy with it.

Still would like more resolution for flight sims (gauges dials are readable just not always sharp) but otherwise it’s very very good for the money.
