Still got mine! Once I adapted to touchpad buttons, I loved how it could be customized. Crazy cool controller.
I still have mine too, but I never played too much with it because I just can’t do the ‘play on the couch’ thing or whatever. I was always a keyboard+mouse person. Playing on the steam deck does work for me somehow tho.
Makes sense. I’m a console gamer for much the same reason: I first started playing when my Dad let me play on his A2600. Must’ve been around 7 years old or so.
That said, I’ve certainly played k&m for a few years when I played WoW. There was a bit of a difference for me when I had to reach farther for an Fn key or the like, so in that sense controllers just have a slight edge over k&m.
Still use it with my physical steam link and my steam deck, mostly to setup game nights of jackbox.
I still have mine in the box. I dunno, it’s just a collector’s item to me now. Got it for $5 when they were pretty much giving them away.
I use a Gamesir instead.
Same, got it on the fire sale, tossed it in storage and then forgot about it after a few moves. Found it a bit ago looking for something else lmao
I got one during the closeout, I think it was $15 with a copy of Hollow Knight. But once I got it I started figuring, if I spent the time to get used to it then when it someday broke I’d be SOL on a replacement. So I stuck it on a shelf where it sits to this day.
It’s worth a lot more than $15 to other people, especially if it’s an unused one.
I wanted to buy one when it came out and only 1 store had it in my country and it was like 100 bucks, prohibitively expensive in Ecuador
No real idea if yours is “a beaut”, you haven’t shown the controller, only a marketing image of another controller of the same kind.

I’m surprised Xbox never sued them for the button layout.
Not terrible to use the same letter but the colours being the same is pretty blatant copying.
Xbox does not have any unique rights to the ABXY button layout nor the green, red, blue, yellow of them, so anyone is free to do what they like with those buttons and Xbox has no right to sue them. This is unlike PlayStation, who have given themselves rights over the Cross, Circle, Square, Triangle buttons.
I don’t know why, exactly. Nintendo used ABXY before Xbox did. My guess would be that Nintendo couldn’t simply copyright letters, so Xbox was able to freely copy it.
Why would they? They’d be sued by Nintendo if they tried (they had those symbols and colours long before Xbox did)
I hate this low effort repost bot
Wut LMAO this is OC lolol
I definitely thought you were just doing your anti-.ml re-sharing thing with this post, too, until I saw your replies to the comments, lol!
You’re so obviously not a repost bot, though. & I really dig and appreciate the reasoning behind your sharing to a variety of other instances :) Some people just like to complain, haha
Lol thanks! Yea I actually pulled this account from that rotation, since I became an admin of this instance I just post OC and organically sourced content from it as my new main now lol
