Hori gamecube type controller for usb...

Post by jp1 »

This looks like a similar design to Hori Gamecube controllers...The quality obviously won't be comparable, but then again neither is the price.

If anyone knows any more about it maybe they can comment on quality.

Wow, looks like it could be comfortable too. I'm tempted to order one just to check it out.

Yep, it's got one big (A) button for SHMUPs. :D

If you order from that site be prepared to wait a loooooooooooong time for your product. I ordered a Memory Stick Duo and a Pandora Battery from there and it took over 2 months for it to arrive. Just a heads up guys.

It's true it does take time. I have had variable wait times from 1.5 weeks to a couple months. Usually it is more in line with 2 weeks.

Yeah, last time (only time) I ordered soemthing from there I had literally forgotten about it by the time it showed up. Their prices are super low though, if you find that worth waiting ages for your stuff.

Fuck deal extreme. They used to give me decent service with a 2 week delivery time. Now it seems to be a month and a half or more.(more than likely more.) I tried to cancel an order and that even took 3 weeks.....

the thing that drives me crazy about deal extreme is their return policy. I've bought 4 R4DS carts from them. 1 of them worked. In order to return it I have to pay to ship it to hong kong. It is actually cheaper to just buy another cart and hope it works. ugh.

as for the pad- the d pad on that guy looks like garbage. You know- in opinion without playing it. However- it is so cheap it is almost worth the price to try it out and find out first hand. I think for like 10-15 more the saturn usb pad would be a better buy.
