Plenty of cheap peripherals still run on disposable batteries.

Externally rechargable AAs are great. I don't have to have specific charging stations for everything, and when a battery does wear out, it's easy to replace.

I haven't been super happy with the rechargable AAAs I've used, so I might prefer specific batteries for smaller items. But most video game controllers or presentation remotes or wireless keyboard and mouse have plenty of room for one or two AAs

User replaceable batteries could be sold as a feature these days. Would people be pissed to see them just being double or triple-A?
