Reddit mentions of Sabrent Twelve-Button USB 2.0 Game Controller for PC (USB-Gamepad)

Do you get a free monitor with any other entertainment device? You can buy a monitor on craigslist for $15-$30

Here's the RPi for $60 with all accessories needed

Here's the monitor on craigslist near my hometown

And here's the controller

Comes out to a sweet $90, comes with every connector you need and the monitor. (I'd be willing to bet you could find a keyboard/mouse combo on special for $10 to make this a real computer)

So yeah, it's probably the UK being expensive.

(Edit: Just saw that my $20 monitor doesn't have an hdmi input. Looks like you'll have to spend $106 to get the controller, monitor, computer, hookups, and KB+Mouse... oh well, pack it up)

Here you go. Hopefully this has enough buttons.

>I'd have thought a decent gaming machine would cost vastly more than a console and I'd have to buy a

Not true. This guy's proves it = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZR-a35sxLg

>I'd have to buy a desk and shit to shove the monitor and keyboard and all that bollocks on

Well, if you want to sit on your couch and just skip using a keyboard you can do that...



Also how fucking big do you think a PC has to be? Like.. Seriously how big? Because you are so full off yourself. Also, you still need to buy a controller for your console (I know one comes with) but you can literally buy a keyboard and mouse for 5$

Last time I checked you still need to buy a TV to use it for your console. So why are you telling me that a PC needs a monitor but a console doesnt need a TV?


Here let's do some comparisons.

400$ PS4. http://www.gamestop.com/ps4/consoles/playstation-4-system/109942

14.99$ TV unit (I took the absolute cheapest one...) http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50243299/

Sofa or sitting on the floor? Alright here you go. A chair 29.99$ (still, cheapest one I could find) http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10289128/

You want some games? Hm, let's take some games that are new and are on both PC and PS4. Let's say 4 games.

And lastly. A TV that is in 1080p 156.59$ (the cheapest one I could find that was NEW. NO Used ones or refurbished!) http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00EAY1FGA/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new



Total price 894.86$

Also, do you want to play online? 1 month is 9.99$, 3months is 17.99$ and 12months is 49.99$


Now, let's do our 350$ PC. So PC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZR-a35sxLg

Do you want to use it on a TV unit or on a desk? You choose. (you could technically do this on the console too but a desk is more expensive.) Let's go with desk for your convinience so 79.99$

Same here, couch or a chair? I'll go with a chair 19.99$ http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S79046260/

And now on games.

So, since Dying Light hasnt released the price for the american price I'll pick the european price and change it to the american currency (This will make it more expensive than usually) EU price: 49.99€ converted to dollars 59.07$ http://store.steampowered.com/app/239140/

Since steam has not given out a price of GTA V on steam I'll pick it from G2play.net (it will most likely be sold for 49.99$) but here you go. 55.64$ http://www.g2play.net/category/3077/grand-theft-auto-v-steam-key/

LoL, I am actually kind of happy right now, it's not that usual that europeans get the game cheaper than americans do but we do on Evolve, anyway. Here you go 59.99$ http://store.steampowered.com/app/273350/

Far Cry 4 59.99$ http://store.steampowered.com/app/273350/

Do you want to play with a friend? A controller. I couldnt be bothered looking for a cheaper one. Here you go 9.99$ http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Twelve-Button-Game-Controller-USB-GAMEPAD/dp/B00AEWTSWU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1420741023&sr=8-5&keywords=pc+controller

And lastly, A TV/Monitor 156.59$ http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00EAY1FGA/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

Total: 851,25$

Now, yes. It is very close but my argument will always stand, it will be cheaper on steam. With steam sales, humble bundles (https://www.humblebundle.com/ seriously it's 4 games for 1$... Altho I never pay below average because I am not a scumbag, but still) and websites like G2play.net you will ALWAYS find games that are cheaper, for an example here you go with Far Cry 4 for 34.64$ http://www.g2play.net/category/11641/far-cry-4-uplay-key/

i know a lot of keyboard players, its better because the button layout for punches and kicks is easier (1-6 on num pad) but moving around and doing quartercircles or 360's (only 1 in the game) is difficult.

you'll be fine with whatever control method you want to use, but if in my opinion, if your keyboard isnt mechanical, i would consider picking up [one of these] (http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Twelve-Button-Game-Controller-USB-GAMEPAD/dp/B00AEWTSWU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413654023&sr=8-1&keywords=sabrent+gamepad)

The 360 doesn't have a different button for every d-pad direction, and as a result I would frequently use items (or miss beats) accidentally all the time.

I ended up switching to this nice controller.

Of course, if you could make CotND stop accepting up + down as an alias for that item/spell/whatever, it would lower the stakes, but here we are.

Ok, so I tried all three. Nine worked. Oddly though, while using the X360ce app, the same issue happened where the joystick counted as buttons on the key pad.

You mean the adapter for the Wii U? That's a fine idea for anyone who has a Wii U and that accessory. Otherwise, I'd go for the usb controller. The reason I'd go with a controller rather than getting an adapter for my Gamecube controllers is that you can get one with nice joysticks and six face buttons on the right side which gives you enough for A, B, and four C buttons, so it's good for N64 games as well.

Just since playing N64 games kinda sucks on controllers with 4 face buttons, here's a controller I found that works well with Project 64 and has all the buttons you need.

I use a sabrent 12-button usb controller.

It's quite cheap and pretty much works and looks like a PlayStation controller. I initially used the keyboard and mouse. It worked well, but I wanted to play the game while lying down.

One benefit to the keyboard and mouse is that camera movement is very in-control. It becomes an issue when you're locked on to an enemy and you're fighting more than one. Camera movement while locked on moves the target.

Pad recommendations?

I've tried the MadCatz fight pad when I was on PS3 and didn't really like the D-pad. I tried the XBox 360 Versus controller now that I'm on PC and I don't like the joystick on that one, either. I tried the Logitech F310, but I prefer having all 6 face buttons.

The only pad I really like is the Sabrent 12-button controller, but man is the construction on that thing trash! I've gone through two of them in about two months! I can't buy a controller every month. LOL.

I'm looking for a good 6-face button controller for PC. Any help would be much appreciated.

I gave up trying to get xbox controllers to work, and bought two of these controllers:Twelve-Button USB 2.0 Game Controller For PC by Sabrent

They're ugly, but they're $10, have lots of buttons, and they work without any drivers.
The only real complaint I have is they have no mappable start/select buttons.
