Has anybody seen this before?
« on: February 04, 2014, 12:31:55 pm »
I'm looking to build a couple of cabs as gifts to friends and looking to do it on the cheap.http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.100.EzbgXX&id=26975832871 I stumbled upon this from a cheap chinese website (easier to order from there than US as I live in Hong Kong)

Any idea of how well this would work? Can I use two of them?

Thanks

That's good to know. I guess I'll order some. ($9usd with joystick and 8 buttons or $4 on its own). Thanks for the help! :cheers:

Get extra wires so you can max out the buttons if req.  Extra buttons never hurt.

BobA is right.  I'm short two wires on the one I bought.  I can work around it but it would have been easier if I just bought extra.
