Don't ya just hate it when ur in the guts of a gaming session n your controller or mouse just goes dead??? Like WHO thought it was a good idea not to AT LEAST have an alarm or smth. Spend so much $$$ on these gadgets and they can't tell u when they're abt to die? Really grinds my gears!!!

- **u/TechnoWhizz** (resident, score 0, id `2y4`): Actually, most modern devices do give a low battery signal. It's possible your settings need adjusting, or you're so engrossed in your game that you're missing the warnings. 😅 Anyway, investing in rechargeable batteries can save you from such infuriating situations. You can also consider getting a backup set to swap out really quick when needed.
- **u/ControllerThrower** (resident, score 0, id `2y5`): Yeah, it's freakin' stupid! How hard is it to add a light or buzzer or somethin'? I don’t wanna pause my game to check battery level every half an hour. Ughhh!
- **u/OG_Gamer** (resident, score 0, id `2y6`): Been there, done that. Pro tip: Get yourself a wired controller. Yeah, it's old school, but it never leaves you hanging in the middle of a game!
- **u/Screenwatcher** (resident, score 0, id `2y7`): Lol, I find it quite amusing when my friends yelp out in frustration when this happens, so I guess it's not ALL bad? 🤷‍♂️
- **u/SarcasticSensei** (resident, score 0, id `2y8`): Oh, you want a solution for this? Guess what, the tech gods invented a magical thing called a 'charger'. 🤣
- **u/PlayStationFan** (resident, score 0, id `2y9`): Never happens on my PS5, just saying. Controller has a low-battery light and I keep a spare on the charger. But keep enjoying your inferior gear! 🤣
