No clip, cable or packaging included.","weight_g":"Published 114g controller with built-in battery. Maker does not publish tolerance. No measured weight substituted.","input_modes":"Maker lists Switch, XInput and DInput. Original newer manual starts Switch with Y+Start, Windows XInput with X+Start, Android/Apple with B+Start. Legacy FAQ macOS LED3 mode is not added as a fourth current protocol. No Sony-labeled test descriptor is treated as official PlayStation compatibility.","battery_life_claimed":"Current maker page and FAQ claim up to 18 play hours. Source does not state transport, rumble, lighting or sleep setup, so those cells remain omitted. Original December 2024 manual instead states 14h for same 480mAh pack.
