Comes with batteries, very nice to play racing games, plane, but not all types of games (for example, playing a FPS with a joystick on PC is a disadvantage)
Comes with USB receiver, with a long cable to position themselves on your desktop. The wireless on about ten meters.
Only problem: I have not found how to disconnect the lever, I withdraw the batteries every time I stop using it. (Incidentally, it remains to be seen how long the batteries will hold, and deduct about the utility buying rechargeable batteries)
