A pixelized SNES controller... really?

[adventure_of_link]

So as I was browsing Newegg to improve on my parts grocery list for my conversion (and to find gta 4 lol), I stumbled upon this:

Is this any good, or weird, or just... wow. LOL

Well, that looks like the most uncomfortable controller I've ever seen. So from a purely function over form point of view it seems like a terrible idea.

Then again it does look kind of cool, so I guess it works from a form over function point of view. I suppose you could hang it on your wall or something, I just wouldn't use it as an actual controller.

Fuckin' POS isn't even pixelized RIGHT. Select and start exist blatantly outside the voxel grid.

the controller looks as good as it feels.

huehuehue

If an election were held in order to crown the king of the nerds, you'd be right in there I mean that in a good way because you know your shit.

On topic: Yeah that thing looks like a piece of shit and it's probably built about as well as one of those Playsega Saturn controller ripoffs. I felt ripped off by that piece of shit even though it only cost me like $7, shipping included. A real Saturn pad + an adapter is the only way to go unless you want a stick. $13 for that uncomfortable looking turd is absurd & I hope it doesn't sell worth a shit. Unfortunately, cheap "retro" controller ripoffs are huge these days.

I need some new SNES controllers for my actual console, and used SNES pads are usually the only way to go despite the risk. My only usable SNES controller atm(and it's busted up too) is one of those ascii turbo pads that're almost as good as the official SNES pads. I like how its buttons are colored like the SFC as opposed to the US SNES. I'd buy a used one of those too if I can find one in good shape.

I was looking around and I watched a YouTube video of a guy using it and he said it was pretty decent and comfortable. I just think for that price it isn't worh the risk at the moment, if they come down in price I might be tempted

Yuber Check the other thread I posted about my new SNES controller. The Retro-bit third party ones seem pretty decent if you are looking for one!

Probably not getting any cheaper than $13. :p

ouija: I prefer wired controllers, but thanks for the info dude. I don't really need any controllers right now but if I can find a good WIRED SNES knockoff pad, it'd be a nice spare. I know slore is nuts, but that buffalo pad he posted about has very good Amazon ratings & it's only like $15. I'll have to research the buffalo SNES knockoff further, but I'm not big on wireless pads like the retro-bit. I only use wireless pads when wired pads aren't an option.
