Cheap (PC) Gaming Controller under $10 Un-boxing Quick Test

[EpicSurvivor]

Hey guys the controller I ordered from eBay just arrived today (took 5 days) on this quick video I am doing a quick un-boxing and quick test on the controller. I made the video because I only paid $8 for this controller and was pretty excited. Hopefully this video helps some of you guys.

NOTE: The quality is poor because there is no Editing, I just used my phone but wanted to share with others what a good deal I got for less than $10!

Got it from this Seller on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/EasySMX-Wi...853063&hash=item2cccf9e4b1:g:~RYAAOSwmCVY9H2L
Cheers!

From personal experience with third-party controllers, you get exactly what you pay for. I've tried those cheaper off-brand NES/SNES/N64/PSX/GameCube/ and Atari controllers and they all break in one form or another after a few months of use. Meanwhile the original controllers that came with the consoles are still working perfectly fine and my wired 360 controllers have been going strong for 10 years now and are 100% compatible with every PC game that features controller support.

I agree on the durability perspective but it was only $8 that's a double quarter pounder Combo from McDonalds so not much to lose. I bought it for MGSPP and Possibly Dark Souls 3 (Planning on buying later on) So it should do just fine for those games. Also gonna play around in Skyrim and see how it feels. Note it was $8 with Free Shipping, not much to lose.

That unit looked and sounded like a pretty good deal for only $8 shipped.

It actually is! played about 1.5 hours of Skyrim with it and its amazing for a first controller, been the fact that I haven't owned or played any consoles since the Original Xbox I must say I am very happy with this controller for my PC. 10/10 would honestly buy again.

And yea $8 shipped is a deal. $8 at McDonald's is practically a double quarter pounder meal lol

It looks really small or maybe it's just the angle. How does the size differ from a normal 360 controller?

Really not sure never used a 360-One Controller except at Best Buy display couldn't really tell you for sure. I am loving it tho for a first PC controller. Makes Skyrim lots of fun.

Just bought Mortal Kombat X and I am about to Install Metal Gear PP which I didn't like with Keyboard and mouse. Hell I may even venture to playing Dead Souls franchise at one point now that i have a controller.

I've had the opposite outcome. Most of my original controllers for the ps2, ps3, xbox, and xbox 360 have all failed. The 3rd party ones all still work to this day and are used far more often.

I can't say out of experience since I haven't owned or Played consoles since the Original Xbox in High School but I really like this controller, put in about 4 hours of Skyrim on PC and its a different experience! way better than Keyboard and Mouse. Gonna start playing Metal Gear PP and Mortal Kombat X next week, I am so ready!

I still have a logitech F310 I use with my PC.

I also have a few "red samurai" bluetooth controllers that were clearanced out from gamestop a couple years ago. I use those with my android devices, steam link, and can use with my bluetooth as well.

These were sold for like $4 a piece back then so I picked up 4 of them and they all still work.

The exception to this was the ASCII Pad for the SNES. It was actually superior to the Nintendo controller and being a bit larger and more ergonomic, more comfortable.

I still have two of those from my childhood that my children are now using. They have to be 25+ years old at this point and still function like new. Oh the joys of playing Mega Man X with a turbo button...
