They are utterly crap, it only has around 2-3h depending what batteries you use, if you don't get the play & recharge pack or quick recharge pack. If you want to get a controller for your PC get a PS3/PS4 controller and Bluetooth, also you can recharge it using a USB power socket.

I have 4 wireless controllers for Xbox (microsoft official) that work with my PC - the rechargeable batteries (inexpensive) I purchased last for days on end with many hours of gaming and fast charge in approx 1 hour

rarely play keyboard/mouse based games now

controllers are sweet

my xbox is only really used for PES (football)
