You might look into changing those batteries.. it's not supposed to be hot.


edit, did you put rechargeable batteries into it?

No. I haven't had any problems with the temp. But I couldn't get the extra buttons or the wheel to work with Battlefield.

Right, I wanted to make sure you didn't put regular batteries in there

The light stops blinking when fully charged, mine doesn't get hot except right after a charge it is warm to the touch. That fades quickly though.
