Would you buy a non-original XBox controller?

Do they have usb?

Bought one for 15euro it broke 1 week later

There is no such thing like non-original? And no there are no problems using any controller you want on your steam, because I have lot's of controllers and all work and every controller is diffrent type and all are about 5-10$ each.

Ive bought them in the past and they've all been shit. You'll save money in the long run buying an official one

I have this Wireless Controller by bigben. The price was around 20 € if I remember it correctly and so far it was quite good for that price. After two or three years of not that intense usage one button (button 10 which would be start I think) isn't working well anymore. Many games were okay with it but some refused to work. In Darksiders 1 for example the camera view was stuck to the sky which is the game's fault I believe. In Darksiders 2 it works when using x360ce. Next time I will buy a wired original Xbox controller, they aren't that much more expensive but have better quality.

Love or hate Xbox, their controllers are spectacular. I recommend just getting an official one. They are amazing.

Well since I already had an xbox, I went for the Wireless adapter with (new) controller for PC (simple button press to switch between platforms). But if you on a budget, any store has $25 dollar usb controllers for PC/Xbox. I wouldn't recommend going lower than $25 because then you get tiny or weird shaped controllers.

I would download it so I can test it before I would buy it, maybe I won't like a non original controller.

I have XEOX PRO analong gamepad. It works really good and I don't have any problems. It's even better for me than original.

I have two Logitech controllers. Both are in very good state after many years of use. Lately, I've played few games that accept only the original Xbox controller by using X360ce.

I have a Thrustmaster GP Xid, there is really no reason to buy an original from Microsoft which cost 30-37€, mine and Logitech Gamepad F310 cost less (18-30€), same Xbox 360 controllers for PC, and Windows recognizes them as an Xbox 360 one, and they work equally as the original from Microsoft. No emulators needed on mine, is "plug & play", all controller supported games recognize it.

The only difference are the buttons, some controllers have them more smooth or thick, this depends on your taste.

Also my suggestion is getting a controller with the bump of the left stick shaped outside, not inside like in the original Microsoft Xbox 360 and my Thrustmaster GP Xid, from my experience the grip of this stick is not the best in this two.

Just in case there is some sites like this one where you can make "your own" Xbox 360, Xbone, PS4 or PS3 controllers for PC/Console with your design, extra buttons (macros), glowing in the dark, etc, but I don't recommend you buying from there because prices are ridiculous.

I picked up a few My Afterglow Wired Controllers for my rig they work really well. . . and were cheap. I have one original. . there is no difference other then the fact the glow ones glow.

I bought a xbox controller from GameStop more than a year ago and I'm still using it from time to time. Just today...played Lego Harry Potter with it and it still works fine. XD

I've have a Logitech F310 with XInput compatibility, and for me works fine, but I don't recommend this gamepadpad for shooters and high precision games because of build in Dead Zones.

I have one Speed-Link with XBox look, the only problem is that u may need a emulator to act like a xbox360 gamepad.

Did it once, would never do it again. A original xbox controller is not so expensive and delivers the best experience. And most games that support gamepads have the standard controls designed for the Xbox-Controller.

Bought one of eBay quite cheap. It was supposed to be genuine, but turned out fake. It still looks and feels nearly the same, except the right trigger felt like it had a loose spring. Windows also recognized it as a 360 controller without a hitch. But, then the left analog stick failed after not a significant amount of use, so that was that. Still have it since I could use it for parts, though. I then bought a genuine one for about $5 more and it's been fantastic.

No.

I bought an XBox 360 look-a-like wired controller on Ebay about 1.5 year ago for 19 USD incl shipping from Hong Kong. It's still going strong. It's a sturdy controller and I use it to play all games that play really crappy with M+KB. This thing has fallen from my desk many times and it's still going like a beast.

I have a simple Rock Candy USB controller and it works just fine for me.

In my country that would be 20€ vs 27€. Not worth the "risk" (already tried + liked the regular Xbox controller, easier to find, substitute and resell, etc). :)

I've got myself a SPEEDLINK Xeox Pro Analog Gamepad - and it's GREAT! It has DirectInput and XInput options, so almost any game can see it - old and new =) The sticks are cool, the triggers are a bit softer that the original. And the surface is SoftTouch - it's like holding a kitty in your hands. Really, you should at least try it =)

Logitech F710, because it is XBOX+Playstation+Logitech

yes, the ones by logitech are very good

?? What do u mean non-original ?? I bought Tracer Proton Shot years ago and it still works perfectly. There had been only few games that cant detect it (Splinter Cell Conviction, Guacamelee). Otherwise its a perfect pad (fine for me, Im not much of a pad-gamer). It has a regular USB and..umm...PS or XBOX connection. Not sure, never had a console. The plugin is wide and flat.

Anyway, its a good pad :P
