We have had a couple that were wired but those didn?t last long with the kiddos. Yes, theyre a ripoff. I purchase a pair for work as i am in the Healthcare profession but i read the reviews which indicated to purchase a size up, inwhich i did but ended up being too big :( But they are super comfortable. MA. and for the price, I mean, they werent very expensive so I dont mind altering them ¯\_(?)_/¯*edit* 8D my fix totally worked! The shorts are cheeky giving this pj a sexy look. I like the adjustable Iwatch arm and color coded LED status lights. A bit wide One thing I loved about roccat is their Titan click. The recharger case gives you 3 good charges sometimes 4 before you have to charge it with the charger cord.
