Which BT xbox pad for Windows.. Confusing

Hi, I'm looking at these two..
The cheaper one seems to be more versatile as it can charge and operate by cable if nessesary.

The e more expensive one seems to be battery operated only meaning having to recharge batteries in a charger?

What am I missing, thanks

One is wired. One is not....

Both are wireless.

If I'm not mistaken, the cheaper one is the exact same controller but also includes the cable should you want to use it wired. Unusual that it's actually cheaper.

Yup both are the same pad and have Bluetooth and powered via a pair of AA batteries. For whatever reason the cheaper model comes with a cable you can use also.

Ok, I figured that was the case, just seemed a bit strange.

Does the cable charge the batteries up or is it simply to power the pad if the battery is flat..

Thanks again.
