Here's my hot deal thread on them. Newegg's been running some $10 specials on their "Liquid Metal" and now "Liquid Metal Sidekick" controller line.

Has anyone else picked one of these up, and what was/is your opinion of them?
I've used the red Liquid Metal controller, for Raiden IV: Overkill on Steam on Win10 Pro 64-bit 1703 (CU).
At first, I thought that it was surprisingly accurate.
Then a few days later, I didn't think that it was so great, that my attempts to hit the "bomb" button in Raiden IV didn't work half the time.
I used to be a tournament shooter player in HS; I don't think that I'm so clumsy that I missed the button entirely.
Maybe it was a USB issue with Windows, or maybe I forgot to pause BOINC when I went to game the second time. Not really sure what happened.
Some of the reviews on Newegg are scathing, and some are alright. Some talk of buttons failing after a week.
Anyways, is there any company that makes GOOD and CHEAP controllers, for PC? I figure that these are probably as good as I'm going to get for $10, seeing as they are normally $30 MSRP.
Edit: Oh yeah, anyone use one of these for Tekken 7 PC, or maybe a real XBox controller? (Which I initially thought that these were, based on MS's (Edit: I meant to say Newegg's) product description.)
