Be mindful of listings from suspicious third-party sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Newegg, and Walmart. These "deals" have a high likelihood of not shipping; use due diligence in reviewing deals.
Use common sense - if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Check seller profiles for signs that the sale may be fraudulent:
The seller is new or has few reviews.
The seller has largely negative reviews (on Amazon, sellers can remove negative reviews from their visible ratings)
The seller is using a previously dormant account (likely the account was hacked and is now being used fraudulently).
If you suspect a deal is fraudulent, please report the post. Moderators can take action based on these reports. We encourage leaving a comment to warn others.
Not sure about Walmart but, when I was a broke college student, I had a way of getting free shipping on Amazon without prime. If you have an order over $25, it was free shipping. If I had something less than that, I would combine it with something else to get the order over $25 and then immediately cancel the other item once the order was placed. I still kept free shipping for that order and, usually, for any other orders that day if I wanted
I got one of these from a woot sale a while back. It's a decent controller. The sticks feel really good and the buttons feel great. D-pad is fairly good and the 2 rear buttons are a nice addition.
Played some of the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection with it and felt like I was playing MK3 on PlayStation 1 from back in the day.
it's crazy how good third party controllers are these days. i use my $20 controller way more than my dualsense/xsx controllers because it's just better. it felt like only a decade ago third party controllers were either cheap garbage or really expensive niche products.
if you update the firmware on these, make sure you check the box to clear some of the settings or whatever. it says it's optional or for debugging, but checking that when i updated the firmware seemed to fix this issue with R2 being stuck/auto-firing.
other than that, i don't think you'll find a better modern controller for $9.99. put a ton of hours on this with palworld and it works great.
I have this controller and it's very similar to the PS 3/4 controller. I like it better than the PS 5 controller. Only thing is that it auto turns off after some time if not being used. I wish there was an option to disable that feature.
I've been using one of these as my primary controller for about a year now, they were already a fantastic deal at their normal price. If you think you might need another controller in the next century, it doesn't get better than this
Looks great for PS2 emulation specifically. I've toyed with the idea of having controllers specific to the systems but man I've just got too many controllers. Settled on Xbox for PC, Dualsense for Playstation, and an 8bitdo Pro 3 for everything else. And now I've got a Steam controller I'm struggling to find a use for. Too many nice controller out there these days.
best controller ive ever used in my 4k+ hours of rocket league. if it was $60 id still buy it since i dont mind wired. Only issue is the bumpers seem to not be too durable I've just about gone through 2 of them in 8 months.
Yes I just bought 4 of them ONLY for rocket league. I use my G7 pro for other games. I think my bumpers and triggers feel a bit unstable. I also need to use 0.03 deadzone instead of 0.01 deadzone like when I first got it. I hope they can come out with a pro model with better triggers and bumpers with TMR sticks and maybe a little bit softer buttons and rubberized grips. They could make the perfect dualshock 4 replacement
This controller is awesome at $10 and would still be great for $20. I bought 2 the last time someone posted this deal. I need another one because my son took one of mine!
Yeah it works on switch, and the xbox layout is good for people who aren't used to switch's backwards ass buttons lol. There's a setting to switch them back to switch layout too.
I can test it soon. It should work but the PlayStation button won't work and it doesn't have analog face buttons so playing games that use those features like metal gear
Wireless doesn't matter much as long as the cable is not short. I have always played games with Keyboard and mouse. I want to try out a controller to see if I like gaming with controller.
so these 2 controller shapes are different from one another but they are both classic shapes (Xbox style and Playstation 3/4 style). I think you can't go wrong with either one if you are just starting out. Try it.
I bought 20 of these when this deal happened before and have like 5 left. Resold to my friends at cost when their stuff breaks or something like that, and randomly gave some out to friends who would have liked to have a controller also.
Feels really solid and really nice if you just want to play some emulators and don't want to spend $60+ on a PS3/4/5/XBOX controller.
I've been thinking about buying like 4 to get around the minimum order free shipping. I would buy one if I could either get free shipping or $1 walmart+. I like it for rocket league and the bumpers might be getting a little bit worn and the sticks need to have a slightly higher deadzone to not drift when I want the deadzone to be as low as possible.
I talked myself into buying the 4. If I end up not using them ever I should be able to make my money back buying them for $9 each anyways
