![Final Fantasy XIV Online: 60 Day Time Card [Online Game Code]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41CLJiby9jL.jpg)
Look up the HORI Nintendo Switch pad; it's an official wired switch controller with no motion sensors included. It's basically the Pro Controller, except since it doesn't have the gyros and the rumble and the Amiibo sensor, it's only 25 USD instead of 80.
Since none of the special features of the more expensive controllers will ever be useful to you, and are in fact more likely to be a hindrance, wouldn't the best solution to this and future problems be to get a controller that doesn't fight you?
I understand if $25 is too much, but if you're committed to having a Switch and being able to play the games you want to play, one good controller will make your playing experience so much better.
In fact, with the right setup, you can hook up an Xbox controller to the Switch and have it work. I'd look up a guide if that interests you at all.

You're welcome.
You must not know about the internet. Its a magical place where you can order products, and have them shipped to your door. Sometimes cheaper than the stores too! try it sometime

I replaced a full set of 4 N64 joysticks and thought it was incredibly easy to do. The joysticks are sold as a very contained component.
Note that there are 2 Rift SKUs, one at #2 (with Touch) and the other at #4 (with xbox controller and Remote).
The same thing with the PSVR.
The HTC Vive has the unique advantage in sales rankings of having only 1 SKU.
Thus this data is useless, since we don't know whether #1 is more than #2 and #4 combined.
---
And those #4 SKU sales don't just mean sim racers or people buying without Touch, because it's actually cheaper to buy SKU #4 then the Touch controllers separately than to buy SKU #2. So people buying #4 are still probably buying Rift+Touch.
---
Another thing we can conclude is that neither Rift+Touch nor HTC Vive are currently selling anywhere near what Rift+Touch was selling during the $399 sale.
Both are beaten in the general VR category by even the Gear VR controller- and despite being split into 5 different SKUs, 2 of the Gear VR headset SKUs are outsellng both Rift+Touch and HTC Vive!
For comparison, Rift+Touch at $399 was at the #1 spot of that category for weeks, outselling even the Gear VR SKUs. In fact, it was even at the top of the consoles list for a while (meaning more people bought it than any Switch or PS4 or Xbox SKU).
Here is the page for the NA timecard.
Edit: Thanks mods for fixing the thread!
As for the Timecards, they seem to be going out of stock only temporarily as they restock their supply of codes from SE. They've come and gone about three times now so just be patient and check back in 30 minutes to an hour. The promotion info returns to the timecard page as well when it's in stock so there's nothing really going on besides running out of codes temporarily.
Good luck!
Thank you for this! I wish someone would do the same for the Elite Backpack
Sneaky person posting up here. Let's not do that anyone else. But you have a good move.

Here are some of the chargers that are known to perform "GOOD" or "BEST" with the Switch.
---------
Best
Charger|Price (USD)|Link|Notes
--|--|--|--
Nintendo Switch AC Adapter|$29.99|Amazon US|This is the only charger you should use with the dock but it's big and doesn't work great with any phones
Google 18W Pixel charger|$35|Google Store|More portable than Nintendo's charger, great at charging phones too, 6ft detachable cable
Google 60W USB-C charger|$59.99|Google Store|Bundled with Chromebook Pixel 2, great for laptops, very long 12ft cable
Apple 61W USB-C charger|$69|Amazon US, Apple|Bundled with 2016 13" MacBook Pro, no cable included
Apple 87W USB-C charger|$79|Amazon US, Apple|Bundled with 2016 15" MacBook Pro, no cable included
RAVPower 26800mAh USB-PD battery|$74.99|Amazon US|Might charge much slower unless you turn off the Switch before plugging it in. Avoid the included bad AC adapter.
Here are some other links for the Pixel phone charger: Best Buy, UK version

Cables
I won't list prices here since they fluctuate a lot. Some of the chargers listed above have a non-removable cable. All the others (except the iPad charger) require a USB C-to-C cable.
USB C-to-C: For the Macbook, Google, SONEic, and battery pack chargers listed above. Here are a few on Amazon: AmazonBasics,
Anker, Cable Matters, Aukey.
USB A-to-C: The iPad charger is the only one that gives good charging speeds with these. The 5ft cable included with the Pro Controller works. Here are some others on Amazon: AmazonBasics, Anker, Cable Matters, Aukey.
No matter which charger you use, it doesn't matter whether the cable says it's USB 2.0, USB 3.0, or USB 3.1. They all charge at the same speed. Just make sure it has the correct plug shape on each end, that it has good reviews at a reputable merchant, and that it's long enough for how you want to use it.
Here's a link to the same controller (without Mario theme) on Amazon.ca, which should be free shipping if sent within Canada and over $35 (which it is in Canadian money).

How to contact an Amazon rep & have the additional Prime 20% off applied to your purchase.

I was able to speak with a rep via Amazon Chat & have the additional Prime 20% applied to my purchase bringing the game before tax down to ~$40. Boxed Copy PC Overwatch Origins Edition.
While I & many others were successful on our first attempt still other people required multiple rep chats some even going as far as calling support.

EDIT: And some other users regarding the Collectors Edition:
Someone in this thread mentioned they paid $75 for the CE after talking with a rep, so yes.
I'll scan through again & see if I can find them.
Here's is one conversation re: the CE, seems some were not as successful with support.
Here's one user who was successful:
> i preordered the CE back in april and when the price dropped yesterday my order was automatically adjusted to 94.99. i had to bug support to get them to apply my 20% prime discount though, bringing it to 75.99 + tax.
And another here:
> I did something similar. My CE shipped before the price drop so I had to bug Amazon customer service today to give me the CE for $95 minus the 20% for Prime discount. The customer service rep did not seem all that thrilled about giving me the $120 CE for $75.

-1. You need a LOT of watts, and to do that you need to use the raid den exploit.
This video explains it well, except he says you need nintendo online and you don't.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdPRbS-HwSc
It can kind of suck to do this for watts. I got 2 million from going for each Gmax and I had fun doing it, so that's what I recommend. You're fine with just half a million for any singular fossilmon though.
-2. Spend it at the Focus digger of the digger duo. That's the one on the left. You'll get a lot of all 4 fossils this way, but you'll get around 5 times more of 2 of the four possible fossils. (Drake and Fish for Shield, Bird and Dino for Sword) You'll also get bottle caps and money items. Now this can really suck, so I really recommend buying one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-HORIPAD-Controller-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NAUATSM?th=1
Yes, it's a little silly to buy a controller just for this, but I've had it help me in other games as well. The main thing about this turbo controller is that it can turbo press the button for you, so you can just leave the console by itself overnight. But if you don't mind pressing A a lot...
Also, watch out for items hitting cap, particularly the money items.
-3. Now we have a bunch of fossils. After a little over half a million I had about 250 of 2 kinds and about 50 of the other 2. Go to Cara Liss, and figure out what fossils you need to store to enable you to create a fossilmon with just pressing A and no directional movement.
-4. Once you have that all set up, save in front of her, and just turn on the A turbo button again. When she's all done, check for shinies and then soft reset if there's none to be found. For smaller volumes it was fine to just keep an eye on it. I used about 25 combinations for one of the mons and it reset every 8 minutes. But for Dracovish I had 250 combinations ready so it took about 78 minutes.
I took note of this because it was distracting for me to have it on screen and keep psyching myself thinking maybe I saw a shiny and stopped everything to check. So I set up an alarm every time I reset and turned the TV off or switched the channel.
LMK if you have any questions!
General QoL tips:
This isn't the official Nintendo Pro Controller, this is the HoriPad which retails for bout $16
Yes, but designed specifically for the Switch with a separate hard shell case and space for the dock, cables, etc. Something like what we're seeing in this old ad.

Ill build two routes handheld gaming and docked.
Docked
Switch - $300
Pro Controller -$65
Legend of Zelda BOTW - 44.99
Mario Kart 8 -$55
Total - $ 464.00
Handheld
Switch - $300
Legend of Zelda BOTW - 44.99
Nintendo Official Wall Charger - $28 (I choose this because I am very picky about power options with consoles and I know this will function)
Switch Case - $15 (This can be hit or miss a lot of people love butterfox but my two smelled like shit and opted for a better version, but for the price it is unbeatable, worth the risk of the smell)
Mario Kart 8 -$55
Total - $443
Games can be changed in and out but imo BOTW is the best game on the switch and Mario Kart 8 is loads of fun. I personally do not have a pro controller, mainly because I play strictly handheld but from what I have been told it is a must for docked gameplay.
Edit: In the future you are going to need a SD card. Especially if you are going the Digital route, again personally I prefer physical and the at of collecting the games but that is me.
So the two big ones are HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, those are the only two consumer VR headsets that really shine right now. Rift is having a crazy summer sale right now, $400 on Amazon, which gets you the headset, camera sensors, and hand controllers.
Personally, I have the HTC Vive due to some issues I have with Oculus's business platform. Namely, they're owned by Facebook and are trying to pull a console-esque exclusive games deal.
But, personal qualms aside, I can't really recommend the Vive for $800 over the Rift for $400. Especially if you're playing seat games like flight simulators, that's the much much better option right now.
I'm super into VR so any questions feel free to ask away.
This is the lowest I've seen origins edition go. It'd be awesome to see amazon price match.
Edit: you can help by reporting "tell us about a lower price" in the right side of the "Product Information" section of the Amazon page.
this mouse for example was made with the help of esports players, yet imo it looks pretty "non gamey"
Agreed, ED and Onward are the only VR games I've passed 100 hours in. For those looking for a HOTAS and don't want to break the bank, I bought this one 2.5 years ago for $50... it's on prime for $39 now so there's no excuse! It's plug and play for most HOTAS supported games, like ED, as it's a popular one. The Throttle and Joystick do detatch, though there's a cord between them. This might convince you to upgrade for a bigger HOTAS, but it's more than adequate for my occasional Elite Dangerous sessions.
Edit: there's an upgraded version for a few bucks more. Credit to /u/stringentthot
Thanks for the post. I'm going to grab it to compare it to some other more expensive keyboards.
Also, I'm almost positive this is just the aukey branded version of the reddragon kumara keyboard. I'm assuming they all come from the same factory.
Kumara for reference
The only difference I can see is the keys on the kumara keyboard appear to be more sunken in, if that makes any sense.

YUP. The gamecube sticks stuck into the housing for the N64 sticks works great. I bought this exact one from amazon and it's been a dream. Much more sensitive than the original stick style and it feels sturdier in every way. (I was playing through OOT and MM before BOTW came out)

Hey /r/NintendoSwitch, I've been using a packing cube for traveling with my switch, and wanted to share how well it's worked for me. I keep most of this stuff together as a "go bag" and it's really helped keep all my stuff organized. It has made it really easy to just grab this and go, I highly recommend.
With it I've been able to pack all of this into a single pack, about 3/4ths the size of a shoebox:
I photoshopped out the label from the brand for the cube, because I didn't want this to look like hailcorporate material (I put a link below). This cube is approx 11" x 7" x 5" ( 28 x 18 x 13 cm) and ends up fitting all of this snugly, so I'd recommend trying similar dimensions if you give it a shot. It actually fits so perfectly that I have barely any shifting of the contents. I also find that it doesn't put any strain on my switch itself, however it's typically not in the bag. This one has loops on the sides, so I used cable ties to keep the cords organized, an added bonus.
The cube is a Patagonia "Black Hole Cube 6-L", but any other brand's cube of similar size would probably work out fine. Being able to include a case was a must, the Nintendo Switch Premium Travel Case for Console and Games" by PDP is a *perfect* fit, however it's not my preferred case.
It's been a really nice travel option for me, so I figured I'd share.
Oh boy, that link! https://amzn.com/B01MS7DVLT
My favorite mod for the gamecube controller
I can go for as long as I want because of this. Get one!
Just over-payed for this grip from Japan.
I'm in the U.S. but I'd like to have this as I kick back for my first session of Majora's Mask next month. A bit pricey, but at this point I'm just bleeding money, so why stop now?
Note the difference in where the grip attaches to the New 3DS (front corners and one clip in the back) as opposed to the standard 3DS XL grip). The slot on the front won't be blocked, nor will access to the stylus.
Just wanted to let you guys know that if these exist already in Japan, it's probably only a matter of time before they're over here, and for much cheaper.
You can actually put a Gamecube-style stick in an N64.

Edit: I don't have any more referrals left, sorry! (I'm sure someone will have one though, maybe comment or check out the VR Discord #deals-chat channel to see who still has referrals left?)
Is it really the naming schemes though? The Wii and WiiU Both had equivalent "Pro" controllers. I think for a lot of people when nintendo says "pro controller" it is assumed to be the non-gimmick controller.

I just use prepaid cards for subs. That way I never have a billing issue for that.
I know Amazon has a 60 day card, I'm sure you can also find one at a convenience store or something where they sell prepaid cards for digital stuff if you're in the US. I know the Wal-Mart near me has them.

Thanks OP. I had already preordered this case, but after seeing your case, I did some research, and I ended up cancelling my preorder of the PDP case and preordered the case you got.
Nothing else yet from the PDP line, but will keep an eye out. Full line-up is here:

I swear by this backpack, it’s perfect for what you describe
Definitely a Screen Protector
A Travelling Case would be nice.
I also added Dr Scholls Moleskin to the front of my dock to reduce the risk of scratching the screen protector. (Two small strips on the parts inside the dock that are raised.)
A Memory Card also helps for the digital only games.
What color Switch did you get? I got the grey switch then bought a pair of Red Joycons and another pair of Blue Joycons. So in total I have a grey, red, and blue L Joycon and a grey, red, and blue R Joycon.
If you got the grey switch and then buy the [two color Joycon packs] (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Neon-Neon-Blue/dp/B01N6QJ58Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493753597&sr=8-2&keywords=blue+joycons) then you won't be able to get one of each color for L/R without over paying. This is because the [two color Joycon packs] (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Neon-Neon-Blue/dp/B01N6QJ58Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493753597&sr=8-2&keywords=blue+joycons) are always Red L and Blue R.
If you bought a neon switch, then buy the [two color Joycon pack] (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Neon-Neon-Blue/dp/B01N6QJ58Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493753597&sr=8-2&keywords=blue+joycons) and a pair of Grey Joycons for all combinations.
Also, don't buy Joycons on Amazon, they are stupid expensive right now.
I don't have a pro controller yet, but people seem to love it.
Games:
Zelda = Must Buy
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe = Must Buy
1-2 Switch = Great for parties/friends
Snipperclips = Great for people who don't play games often (girlfriends/parents/kids). Secret here is to not explain how to play/what to do and let them have fun and try to figure out the puzzles on their own. Act like a support character and you'll have a blast watching them.
Binding of Isaac = I love this game, but put countless hours on the PC version. Mature themes
Super Bomberman R = Classic mode with easy CPUs is fun for roommates. I haven't played through the adventure mode yet.
Wonderboy = Cute/Fun side scroller.
Has Been Heroes = I don't have this yet, apparently very difficult.
Other notes:
I started collecting amiibos after getting a switch (Be very careful, it's easy to get addicted and drop a ton of money here).
I got a Joycon charging dock since the only way to charge extra pairs of Joycons without the Joycon charging dockis to rotate them in and out of the switch while it charges/docked.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
PS I love the Switch so much. It's definitely my favorite console ever.

Possibly acceptable, also didn't see it. I don't want to shill a product, but I'm currently using this keyboard (not an affiliate link.) The low-profile switches are the important detail: full profile switches are fatiguing to me.

Isn't it this one?
If you can afford it I wholly recommend the new Hotas ThrustMaster. Plug and play for ps4. small driver download for pc.
The T.Flight Hotas 4 (PS4/PC version) is $70 on Amazon. I'd expect the Hotas One to be a similar price
Collectors was available for PC since day one.

I believe it was $600 a year ago, then last summer they had a sale with it at $400 for at least a month or two. When they took it off sale, they reduced retail price to $500, and then made another reduction a few months later to $400.

The original Playstation controller is the most innovative controller in recent history. It was essentially an upgraded SNES controller, notice the d-pad opposite four multi-purpose buttons. The triangle, circle, square, cross are just Sony's answer to Nintendo's A,B,X,Y.
But it was innovative for 2-3 reasons. One, it added handles for your hands. The NES and SNES controllers, while epic, aren't exactly the most comfortable things to hold.
Secondly, it added two more triggers and, later, two analog sticks.
Today, every console has its own brand of the PS1 controller. The 360 controller, while admittedly more comfortable than the PS3 controller, is identical in button layout, just switch the d-pad and left analog stick.
Even the Wii has its own version in the classic controller PRO.

I say neither. I have this, and its great.

I also just ordered this thing, but it hasn't arrived yet.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/181515740646
Speaking from experience just head to your local video game store (one thats sells used stuff) then buy the best three used nintendo brand controllers they have. Just check to make sure all the buttons are good the sticks don't matter at this point.
Now hit up amazon and look for these http://www.amazon.com/Redesigned-REPLACEMENT-Joystick-Controller-Thumbstick/dp/B009MRZAUC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369407445&sr=8-1&keywords=n64+joystick
These joysticks are not like the ones that come with the nintendo controllers they don't have the ball joint at the bottom that wears out. Look at these other sticks for comparison. http://www.amazon.com/Replacement-Joystick/dp/B000F7V2GO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1369407445&sr=8-2&keywords=n64+joystick
You can see how they are different. The joysticks are easy to swap out and you will not wear them out unlike the traditional joysticks. You will always have "tight sticks"
Hope this helps you out man.
I just got a 60 day time card off amazon and it did count towards this Promo! https://amzn.com/B00O15486W this is the link to the time card I got.
It was a digital code for the 60 days. So get your game time for FFXIV and the promo!
Personally, for me, I believe that the best case is the Sheikah Slate that comes with BotW SE. EB and Best Buy both said that they will have it, so be on the look out for them, cuz amazon is out.
The same case, with different designs, is made by PDP. You can get them via these links: 1, 2, 3, 4.
This one is quite close to the Sheikah Slate as well, but it doesn't ship to where I am, so I'm not sure it would ship to you.
PDP also has this amazing looking soft canvas cases if you're interested: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
You could also go with Hori hard case, which is ugly af, but looks extremely sturdy. But then the actual case from Nintendo (it's not available yet, just wait for it I guess?) is quite close to the Hori one as well, I guess.
I'm throwing all those links at you, because, I have NO idea who Biogenik are and a quick Google doesn't result in anything positive about them.
As for screen protector, for me generally, any film protector would make the screen look worse. They are also a lot more likely to get scratches than the screen alone. I'd recommend a tempered glass screen protector if you get one at all. Here are some, one from Orzly, and one from CaseBase. Orzly seems like the better choice since you get 2, and their other tempered glass protectors are very highly rated.
Besides the console and Zelda: BOTW which I both have preordered, I plan to buy the PDP console case and a tablet mount so I can hang the tablet from my bedframe while I play. Because lazy.
My picks...

Usually when a game offers early access with pre-orders, I pre-order on Amazon and then cancel as soon as I get the beta key. That way you get to try it out but you're not locked in to buying it.
Sounds like you're very new to the sub. The logitech products do their job, and personally their support has been amazing. But there are a few negatives that breaks the deal for the community in general here.
The community generates insane amount of custom keycaps and switches and boards, but what Logitech offers does not fit anything that was in place already in our community.
If the keycaps and switches are proprietary, the options should also be solid. The keycaps are very simply made to shine light through for the RGB, and there aren't high quality options.
It's up to the people who use them, but large chunk of the community do not like them, and that's after comparing numerous other switches from cherry, gateron, Kailh and etc.
There are many other options out there that cost just as much or even less that are higher quality, like CM Masterkeys if you're looking for a full sized one.
The TK version is already out. It's called the MasterKeys L. I'm very surprised because I'm not sure how OP got his hands on a TKL cause I didn't think they had been released yet. TK Version

Here's the only one that I know of that works with the PS4. Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas 4 Flight Stick for PS4 & PC https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015PJ68BK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_p2ozzb8XHV38Y
I have it and LOVE IT! It took a bit of time to customize the controls to my liking, but once I got used to it, I can't go back to a controller.
Hands On Throttle And Stick. (Had to look it ip myself a while ago). A joystick and throttle. Here is the one for PS4
https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-T-Flight-Hotas-Flight-playstation-4/dp/B015PJ68BK
(not sure if others besides this one will work on the system). Ordered one myself to maybe try it out. Might see how it works on the PS4 controller first though.
As far as I know, the only HOTAS with out-of-the-box support for PS4 is the Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS 4. I would love to see it supported, and would buy the game the instant it became available for that reason alone despite already owning it on Xbox.
If you want a clicky keyboard you'll want one with MX Blues or one of its many clones.
I would avoid Corsair if possible, they are quite poor value for what you get and you will have difficulty swapping the keycaps in the future due to a non-standard bottom row.
Take a look at the Cooler Master Masterkeys series of keyboards.
They are comparable to the Corsair but better built and better value and more open-ended when it comes to customization.
Just choose the layout you want (full size, TKL, etc) and choose "MX Blue (clicky)" and you're good to go.
You can check out the Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro RGB series (full-size or TKL). Most people here would recommend those over Razer/Corsair/Logitech. You can also check out keyboards by Ducky or iKBC.
Neither. Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L It's better than both of those boards.
There are classic controllers for the wii though.
https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0?th=1
Price of this one is absurd but that may be because of how old the wii is.
It's not, it's a PS2 controller. I can see why you'd think it's a Wii Classic Pro controller, but the shoulder buttons on the Classic pro are rounded, whereas the PS2's are much squarer, like these are.
You can also see the telltale slopes along the vertical axis that the PS2 controller has on it's back side, the Classic pro has more of a wave/dip along the horizontal axis.
Do you mean you bought the Wii U Pro Controller? Those aren't compatible with Wii Mode. The Classic Controller, and the Classic Controller Pro are what the games are referring to.
This is probably the closest you'll get to making it feel anything like a real controller.
The PS4 controller works just fine, too! Sticks/Pads/regular controllers all work fine with SFV, it really comes down to a matter of comfort, preference, and quality, the only thing that might be tricky is getting used to the button layouts and all. I've heard nothing but great things about the HORI Fighting Commander 4 if you'd prefer having all your attacks (light/medium/heavy each for kick and punch) on the face and a more defined D-Pad. :)
It's not much more to get it new with touch, which you'll want.
To expand on what the other commenter has said, both the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift have had a fairly significant price drop over the last couple of months.
The Vive now sits at a much more reasonable price of $599usd while the Oculus Rift sits at $399 although it's strongly recommended that you purchase a 3rd camera sensor for $60 with it to improve the tracking potential. Both come with tracked controller solutions, the Vive with it's wand style and the Rift with Touch.
 
Personally, I feel that the Vive is a better buy, considering several factors so I'm a bit biased.
-The Rift needs a 3rd sensor which lessens the price gap a fair amount, and takes up a whopping 4 USB 3.0 ports while the Vive uses only a single USB 2.0 port because of the Lighthouse tracking versus the Rift's camera based solution
-They both work for room-scale games, but the Vive is more purpose built for it because of the way tracking works
-This is pretty subjective but I prefer the Vive's display and optics. Neither are objectively better but I like the Vive's slightly larger field of view compared to the Rift's slightly better readability with text
-Vive is much better if you have glasses.
-This is purely subjective, but the Vive has nothing to do with Facebook. To me that's a major plus, but you might not care as much.
 
As much as I adore my Vive, the Rift has several advantages too
-First, it's outright cheaper, regardless of having to buy the 3rd sensor
-The controllers feel more natural in the hand when you're playing games where you have hands instead of tools (Vive is better if you're playing a shooter for example as the controllers feel like you're holding something like that)
-The Rift has a built in pair of headphones which are actually quite good, and light weight. I didn't think this was a huge deal at first since I have good headphones already, but not having to worry about that extra cable dangling from your head is a nice luxury to have
-The Rift's stock head strap is much nicer, and general ergonomics are better. The Vive has an upgraded Deluxe Audio Strap that you can buy now, but it's a hundred bucks.
-Access to a bunch of free Oculus funded games through Home. The Vive can play these too, but you have to use a middleware program called ReVive for it to work.
 
To finish off this wall of text, some minimum recommended PC spec's:
-At least an i5 from the 4000 series of chips (IE i5 4590 is what Oculus used to recommend as a minimum) or 3000 series if you can overclock (I have an OC'd i7 3770k at 4.6 ghz and it's working great) EDIT: Also a Ryzen r5 1500 or better would work. Gotta rep team Red!
-Standard gaming amount of RAM, 8-16GB
-Modern mid-range graphics card like an RX 480/580, or a GTX 1060 6GB, or a higher end older card like a GTX 970 or R9 380x (this would be cutting it close)
I wouldn't recommend using anything older than that, any kind of stutter can and will make you ill. Trust me, sim sickness is no fun haha
If you've got any other question feel free to ask!

There, I reached out into the ether and found an original switch adapter
Wow! Both the original post and the comments are really thorough. I have to confess a lot of this is over my head.
I have a question: is it safe to use a 3rd-party converter with an official Nintendo AC adapter?
For example:
I'm hoping the converter simply acts as a pass-through, and that the power adapter works as it should.
EDIT: I hope links to Amazon are allowed. Apologies if they aren't. I wanted to make sure I identified the products I own.

There are new low-profile switches that came out recently from Cherry and Kailh, and they sound like what you want. There isn't a lot of board selection yet though. If you can tolerate the noise of blue switches, I think you'd like this one for $50:
https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Extra-Thin-Switches-HV-KB390L/dp/B0722GG88M/
I'm using a Noppoo Choc Mini with 35g Gateron Clears, and that sounds like another option. Super light switches (the lightest you can buy), no scratchiness at all, but the keycaps are a bit tall compared to chiclets. It's about $60, I tried finding a link for that one but it looks like Newegg is out of stock now.
By the way, there are lots of people who feel similarly about chiclets. I type fast (~130wpm) and play Starcraft 2 competitively, and haven't found anything that works as well for me as an old ThinkPad membrane keyboard, despite a tour of mech keyboards. Am hoping these low profile switches will work for me, but blues are too noisy.
try this board out?
it's a low profile gaming mechanical keyboard i personally really like mine.
Although it does smudge easy, but for work it works.
Brand is Havit

Man...I'm a big fan of the PDP premium gray case. But I'm pretty excited to see what Waterfield comes up with because a leather case sounds dope. Too bad it'll cost at least $60 though.
Not sure but this is PDP's Switch "case" (also on BotW version) and, by the looks of it, it's just a semi rigid pouch.
I'm probably getting this one once I can see it in person or a nice review; it looks like it will have some kind of foam (as shoulder buttons would tilt the switch and yet it seems to be in a horizontal position) and I think it's made by the same company as a pretty similar looking NES mini case.
Reposting this because it got buried in the last thread.
I need help on deciding a case. I've narrowed it down to four, but I suppose if none of them are great, I could go for a fifth option.
Protection is a big thing here, so if any of these are flimsy, let me know.
PDP Nintendo Switch Premium Console Case
RDS Industries, Inc Nintendo Switch Game Traveler Deluxe System Case
Orzly Carry Case for Nintendo Switch
2017 Switch Hard Shell Carry Case
While I like the portability the smaller ones have, the big one being able to carry everything is a big bonus. Protection is a huge factor too.
Thanks!

If your'e really tight on money the one without LEDs is even cheaper
So, here's a quick list of boards, from amazon. I went with them for a search on mechanical boards, and filtered by 4 stars +, and read some of the critical reviews and sort through the ones that seemed to be overwhelmingly positive, with no "i did this for a kickback" though they no longer allow that, those reviews still skew it. Next, I went with brands that, well I had heard of. I just so happened to have seen or read reviews on boards from these companies, and while they often get the board for free in these situations, I still have seen them in action, or seen critical reviews of a product from them before. So, would venture to say these are probably some of the more... okay brands, of these "cheap" brands. Now, I included mostly TKL boards, since they happen to be cheaper, and I also included a "wireless" and quite a few backlit ones. I know you said that didn't matter, but they were within budget at met the review requirements, and your other reqs, albeit at typically higher prices. Also, I tried not to include the scam of "mechanical feeling."
So, from here, I'll list them. And you should understand you can buy boards from Newegg, fry's, microcenter, target etc.... and you can try to find your own with these tips. I simply used Amazon because it offers free shipping on most items over $25 even without prime. As well, they tend to be... somewhat responsible for their sellers.

Again, some things to keep in mind; add tax to most, if not all of these. I tried to keep them as far under $40 as I could, but the ones with decent reviews don't seem to go as low. As well, please feel free to do your own research. Or, if you want we can try on your preferred shopping site. Seek other users advice, maybe one of the mechanical keyboard subs will offer better advice. You absolutely do not have to buy any of these, nor do I get anything if you do. Also, please copy and paste the names of the boards for a youtube search, many of these low end boards send them out for review for coverage. Also, you could try doing a search yourself, just to check, "Mechanical keyboards" into amazon or whatever, and sort by reviews, and price, and avoid "MECHANICAL FEEL" at all costs, as it is not truely mechanical. I hope I've helped at least somewhat, and again, you absolutely don't have to settle on a link I provided, consider waiting for a sale, or observing this sub for a bit. Most of those boards likely hover around their price or will go lower.
Good luck, and I hope I've helped even a little. Let me know if I can help more.
Edit: Also, there's no need to rush into a buy at all, assuming you don't need one ASAP. Shop around, watch for deals on one you're interested, or just watch for new things to enter your price range.
Magicforce 68 is one of the most solid "beginner" boards around, they're really good for the price.
The Drevo Gramr is $3 more. It looks smaller, but it has the same keys as a TKL just condensed a little bit.
Rantopad MXX is also a good choice.
or the Redragon K552 is $10 cheaper without the numpad, though I believe this keyboard uses Kailh switches (the old ones are very bad) so I'm not sure if I'd actually recommend it.
PDP has some officially licensed ones you will likely want to check out.
Probably going to use this to store my Switch in my existing messenger bag: https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Nintendo-Switch-Premium-Console-Case/dp/B01MS7AI9G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485282854&sr=8-1&keywords=pdp+nintendo+switch+case
The Nintendo Switch Elite Player Backpack by PDP is what you're looking for. Handles all of that very well.
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Elite-Player-Backpack-PDP/dp/B01MS7DVLT
I take my switch with me a lot, so my favorite accessory is my backpack. I have one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MS7DVLT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_bO5UCb8GY83D0
It has specific pouches for everything. Multiple Joycon Controllers, your pro controller, your switch itself, your power cord and hdmi cord, your dock, your headphones, little zipper pouches for your games. Instead of putting my switch in the switch pocket, I leave it in my hard case, and I put a portible stand in the switch pocket.
Other accessories I enjoy:
-Pro controller for more comfort in docked mode, or for better control in fortnite and other multiplayer shooters.
-Portible stand for better tabletop play. The switch has a kickstand, but it can start to lose support and stop working, but it also is low to the table, only has 1 angle, and you can't charge your system while using the kickstand. I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9RTMWS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_3T5UCbCYD20HR
-USB to usb-c converter. This is only if you have a wired controller like me. I like to play fortnite from time to time on my break, and I use my controller. But since it's wired, I bought the converter and I can plug it into my switch while I'm away from my dock. But it you get him wireless this won't be necessary.
-Screen protector. For obvious reasons 😁. Preferably a tempered glass one, not plastic.
-Car charger
-Carrying case. I prefer the medium thickness. Usually they're themed, I have a blue Zelda one. Hard shell is better, but usually not themed and is plain. I don't like soft cases at all.
Accessories I don't have but thought about buying:
-Dock Sock. Some people have had their system scratched by the dock, or have had someone else scratch it while docking it. The dock has hard plastic inside of it for some reason, and it can come into contact with the switch and scratch it if your not careful. The dock sock just adds a layer of cloth between the hard plastic and your screen. Not necessary, but can help, and you can find a ton of cool designs on etsy and other sites.
-Dock light. Can't be used with dock sock. Just makes the outside of your dock look cool.
-Better grip for handheld mode. A lot of people like them, I just didn't get one because it doesn't fit in my case and I'm too lazy to attach and separate them every time.
-Switch decals. Make your switch look cooler. I'd only buy from Nintendo as some 3rd party ones werent made correctly and fried people's systems.
-Replacement faceplates. Like decals, but it's completely new plastic casing. Some are awesome, like the ond school nes look or Gameboy crystal purple. They can be a pain to install though, and may void warranty (I don't know for sure, just a guess).
Games I like:
Solo:
-Zelda Breath of the Wild
-Stardew Valley (Now has multiplayer but I think online only, not split screen, could be wrong though)
-Hollow Knight
Solo I haven't bought but heard are good:
-Skyrim
-Dark Souls
-Cuphead
-Binding of Issac
Solo or Split Screen Co-op:
-Snipper Clips
-Overcooked
-Mario (Really any of them, though odyssey is less fun for player 2 as you just play as the hat)
-Minecraft
-Pokemon Let's Go
Solo or SS Co-op I don't have but heard are good:
-Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time
-Splatoon 2
-Boxboy Boxgirl
I'd also suggest you get him Nintendo online. It's free for a year if you have Amazon prime, or $20 a year if you don't. You can't play online multiplayer without it. You also get to download an app on your switch that has a bunch of old school games on it like super Mario, super Mario 2, super Mario 3, Dr. Mario, legend of link, legend of zelda, and a bunch of others. All of them are free as long as you have Nintendo online, and they add new games every month I think.
Long read, but hopefully it helps! Your giving him a gift he can enjoy for a long time, and there is so much to play on this system it's crazy. There are a ton of cheap indy games as well. So you could always just get him a Nintendo Eshop card and let him buy whatever looks good to him if you want. Tons of stuff $20 and lower, and there is always a ton on sale.

So you'll need a few things for the game, first is a decent computer. Second is the actual VR bundle, I would suggest either the HTC Vive or the Oculus Rift. There's a lot of good discussion on which one to get on various subreddits, /r/Vive, /r/oculus and /r/virtualreality.
Games:
Practism VR if you do IDPA or that type of stuff
Hotdogs Horseshoes and Handgrenades is a good game with a lot of weapons and good mechanics. /r/H3VR

There are a few others but those are the standard as of now

Looks horribly uncomfortable to me, and that d-pad looks like it'll only be good for zangief players. But maybe it'll turn out ok, we won't know for sure until it comes out in a few months.
If you want one for Christmas, this is your best (only?) bet: http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1450285498&sr=1-2&keywords=hori+ps4+pad
Find one of these.
I particularly like the 4 over the newer version. I hold the controller with my left hand normally, but rest my right hand on my leg and use the face buttons like a stick. Best of all worlds, imo.
HORI Fighting Commander 4
Saw this on amazon price drop. IDK if it's good, but it's the lowest price in amazon's history at $30. If you are a pad player looking for something.
Would this deal be available in Canada? I'm not seeing it on amazon.ca

In general, Das, for some reason or another, tend to be a little high-priced for the quality of the board. They're not bad, but you can find better for simliar pricing.
That particular Das you linked to uses some off-brand switch instead of Cherry or Gateron (Cherry is the original that they all copy, Gateron makes a well respected and popular clone).
For example, this Cooler Master Masterkeys L is cheaper, uses Cherry switches and has programmable white backlighting. And this Cooler Master Masterkeys L is only a little more expensive, uses Cherry switches and has programmable RGB lighting.
And Form Factor (from your other post) describes the physical size and layout of a keyboard. Full/100% is your standard keyboard. TKL is the next step smaller, and cuts off the numberpad. 60% is when you take a TKL and chop off the Arrow/Navigation keys and the F1-12 row, leaving just the alphanumeric characters and the surrounding modifiers.
Those are about the three most common form factors, but there are others as well (40% for those looking for something really portable and compact. 65% for those who want a 60% but can't live without the arrow keys.).
Personally I would avoid Corsair if you are spending over $100 it just isn't worth the investment. Most of their keyboards also have non-standard rows so you wouldn't be able to replace the keycaps later down the road if you wanted to.
For the average gamer I recommend stuff from Coolermaster, Filco, and Ducky.
This is a good CM board that has same specs as the k95 but better build quality and cap availability.
Here is a Ducky
These are all full sized boards, but they do have smaller siblings in the same product line if you look around. The majority of us will recommend a Tenkeyless board
Logitech g pro on amazon is on sale iirc
Yup, onsale for $49.99, normally $69.99
For Skyward Sword the original Wii controller is mandatory, swordplay in that game follows your own movement like sideslash, slashing up etc. As for the rest of these games, get a Classic controller. And yeah, try to find Xenoblade Chronicles first ;) It's spectacular.
Other games I would suggest (playable with a Pro controller):
You can get MH Tri on the Wii, but MH 3 Ultimate is a bit nicer to look at. Equally great though imo.
Awesome game, also for the Wii. Great to play with your daughter, if she likes that kind of games.
Very nice RPG's, very story-driven.
There are more of which I've heard good things like Tales of Syphonia, Arc Rise Fantasia and Muramasa, but I'm not in a position to recommend those cause I haven't played them :)
As for the Wii U, there are only a few big games out at the moment but they're all pretty great (so I hear). A must buy (as was for me at least, alongside MH3U) is Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. Colorful, atmospheric, awesome overall.
Edit: Of course I meant the Classic controller, not the Pro. Pro is for Wii U only. I have both and switched them up.
The official Nintendo ones can be pretty costly. It seems to be going for over $40 on Amazon.

like this one?
You're not confusing the Wii U's Pro Controller that only works with specified Wii U games with a Wii Classic Controller Pro that works with the Wii and some Wii U games, are you?
I like it! However, there are some tweaks you may want to consider (if you want some unsolicited feedback):
Otherwise, it looks AWESOME and I really love the stand you've included. Definitely great work! I wish I could find a mashup of your grip and the one I'm currently using because they both have things I want :)
Vita trigger grip

I had a HUGE problem with the shape of the 3DS, too. While this doesn't make it QUITE as awesome as using a controller, a good grip will effectively do away with the hand cramps. This is the one I got, in case you're interested.
They only have 4 left! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZXBYJU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I just bought one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZXBYJU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It's actually really nice grip and it gets me in a better habit of having my fingers on L and R the whole time.

How about those Turtle Beach Stealth 500X headsets? Anybody know if those are going on sale anywhere?

I bought a game time card from Amazon for $30, because I'm already playing and the game time card is equivalent to the monthly cost anyway. Following this rather straightforward logic, I just got 6 exclusive items for basically continuing my subscription. I don't see why you can't do the same. That said...here's the maid outfit, because I'm not using it.

Arcade stick or pad is a preference. There's really no right answer. Personally, I love stick. I picked one up soon after I got into fighting games, because I loved the idea of them and I knew that I would love using one, and I haven't looked back since.
If you are curious about arcade sticks, just keep in mind that they take a few months to get used to. Some people pick it up faster than others, but for me it was a good month before I became accustom to it and then a handful more before it felt truly natural.
As for third-party pad alternatives, I know that Hori ( Fighting Commander 4 & Fighting Commander ) and MadCatz ( FightPad PRO ) both make controllers geared towards fighting games. Personally, that FightPad PRO looks bizarre to me.
I've never played with a PS3 or PS4 pad, but I'd recommend looking into the Hori Fighting Commander 4 as a fantastic value for $30 if you're only looking for a fighting game controller and don't need the analog sticks for other games. Setting it up to work on PC is very easy with x360ce.

As of right now, the only USB C power adapter that will work 100% with the Switch is the official AC Adapter.
Copy pasted from the project site... https://switch.chilly.codes/
Q: What is this?
A: A side project that I've been working on since March 2018. You can think of it as a Twitch Plays Switch with some nifty features.
Q: Why did you make this?
A: I was bored. Also, I wanted an easy way to use OpenCV to control the Switch, like this guy.
Q: How does it work?
A: At its core, it takes input either from a locally connected controller or via network and relays it to a Nintendo Switch over USB. I used this project and this project as a base and grafted on everything else. Frankly, very little of the original projects remain.
Currently, I've used the network support to add input support for Twitch/Mixer chat and for a webpage where players can control the Switch via a gamepad.
I'll be writing up more documentation on the workings of this project at a later date.
Q: How does gamepad support work?
A: Plug in a controller into your computer, go to the gamepad control page, press a button to activate it, and you're set! You can request a turn by clicking on the controller image. Each turn lasts 20 seconds unless you are the only person waiting for a turn, in which case you will keep your turn after 20 seconds until someone else requests one. Note that chat can and will mess with your inputs!
Q: How does chat work:
A: Works like you'd expect it to. You can also press buttons simultaneously instead of just one after another. Read the project site for more details.
Q: What makes this better than \<insert other implementation here\>?
A: There are a lot of modifications I've made to mine that aren't present in other versions.
socat, developers can quickly test out changes to the firmware without having to reflash the hardware.netcat.Hori, PDP.
There were so many turbo controllers for the ps2. A lot of my friends had more controllers with turbo than without. The only one with turbo I know of for switch is the wired hori.

To keep it brief; Nintendo Switch draws about 8.9W at most while gaming in portable mode. Also, the Switch can only draw up to 2A due to its design.
A USB-A adapter (along with a USB-A to USB-C cable) supplies up to 5V 1.5A (7.5W) which is insufficient to charge while playing intensive games. The cable you linked is a USB-A to C, so presumably you were using a USB-A adapter which only supplies 7.5W. The Switch can draw more than this while in portable mode, which explains why your battery was still being depleted.
A USB-C adapter (along with USB-C to USB-C cable) supplies up to 5V 2A (10W) which is enough to slowly charge while gaming. (1) (2)
A USB-C adapter that supports USB-PD can supply up to 18W (voltage and current can vary) which can quickly charge the Switch while gaming. (1) (2)

ohhh well its perfect to fast charge it handheld...
but i do recommend you the Official Nintendo Adapter if you are going to buy another one
In that case get this Nintendo Switch AC Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7RUZ49/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_EPl1BbJ4W5TH0
But if you get a dock, buy this to store everything together when you move it. Zadii Hard Carrying Case Compatible with Nintendo Switch System, Travel Case Fit Switch Pro Controller https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074JFY4JF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_IRl1Bb7J6BQEX
Has room for everything stock plus extra pro or joycon controllers. I've flown with this.
I would advise against it, not because it could damage the switch; but because the output advertised on the box is too low to power the switch and play continuously.
I would suggest getting a second AC adapter instead. Or get one of these instead of a car charge, to add usb port and get a Nyko power kit
The US Switch charger is multivoltage and multifrequency - it lists support for 240V at 50Hz. It will work fine with an adapter.
It applies across the board really. For the past couple of years, we used to fear noncompliant USB-C to USB-A cables. USB-C to USB-C cables were usually fine. But a noncompliant device overdrawing by as much as 300%? I'll be picking up another OEM Nintendo charger. $25 is a small price to pay to protect a device that's now out of warranty.
According to amazon it’s 110-240V, but I don’t have a charger to verify this.

If you're strictly just looking to pouch spam and AFK farm core crystals, buy this and watch this and this.
If you still want to emulate and automate inputs for whatever reason, the Switch supports USB peripherals. If you want to use a controller, use a GC adapter and solder an Arduino to a GCC board (or splice the wires) and run macros off of it. Otherwise you could just spoof an HID using your preferred microcontroller. Spoofing joy-cons sounds like a lot more work.
There's a surprisingly detailed tutorial by Hax$ and WatchingTime on how to install an Arduino Uno in a GCC here. The purpose is to help with advanced techniques in another game, but the script should help you get started.
Good luck.
The 8bitdo controllers are solid, I have been using this for indie games and retro stuff which makes up alot of my Switch Library:
https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-SF30-Controller-Windows-macOS-Android/dp/B0748S3GXG/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Switch+SNES+controller&qid=1562519790&s=gateway&sr=8-3
If you need a more modern controller for games just buy a wired Switch Controller. Personally I really like HORI's controllers and this one features a really good D-Pad:
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-HORIPAD-Controller-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NAUATSM/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Switch+wired+controller&qid=1562519863&s=gateway&sr=8-3
As someone who has a Pro Controller, and was reluctant to buy one, I have two very strong opinions on it:
----
If you already have an existing controller you're happy with (Xbone, PS3, PS4, Wii U Pro Controller, others), check out the 8BitDo Wireless USB Adapter, which will allow you to use it with the Switch.
There's several third-party options for Switch controllers, including:
The 8BitDo adapter allows you to use a Wii Remote on Nintendo Switch. Also, here is a video of someone using the Wii Remote and the classic controllers on Nintendo Switch using the adapter.
If you want some official cheap controllers for the Nintendo Switch then are some from the price range of 19.99$ to 24.99$
I imagine it is pretty rare to play with joycon....
I play with pro-controller, but that's not ideal either. I am very much looking forward to Hori Pro-Controller, which I think will be just right.
Not OP, but I'm pretty confident he/she is talking about either the Hori wired switch pro controller, or the PowerA wired switch pro controller, since both of them cost about $25 USD, and they are both officially licensed by Nintendo.
However, I strongly recommend you reconsider if you'll be using them for Smash. I've used both of them at work, and honestly speaking...the quality is solid. Sure, they both feel light and cheap, but honestly speaking the finish is pretty darn good for the price. The only major quality con I see is they both have a fair share of hardware issues, with controllers that randomly stop working after some time, thus their low rating on Amazon despite high sales numbers.
The thing that will probably get you though is how bad the controls are for smash, and that if you're going for quality, you just wont beat the Pro Controller. I actually kinda went in depth about this in my other response to you as well above here, but basically, I'm pretty confident that had I bought these cheaper alternatives for Smash, and then tried the Pro Controller, I'd have regretted my decision horribly...
Everyone is recommending to buy another set of joycons (about 70$), what about buying 3 or 4 wired horipad pro controllers (4x18=74$)?
That way you don't have to worry about batteries and they are more comfortable to hold than a small single joycon and are cheaper to replace if they get treated roughly from young kids.
I mean, between the PowerA controller and the Hori controller, there are already cheap alternatives.
That said; the Gamecube Controller adapter for Wii U is already compatible with the Switch. I wouldn't be surprised if they rebranded it as the Gamecube Controller Adapter for Switch and rereleased it alongside another series of Smash themed Gamecube controllers.
Honestly, my concern is a single-joycon focus affecting gameplay.
Maybe this Havit? Comes with Kailh Choc switches.

Here's a Chyrosran video covering these switches, the Havit product page for the board and the Kaihua product page for the switches. I think the blues on this board are the same as the clicky tactile (white stem) ones in the video.
I'll try to answer any questions. Overall I'm impressed by the switches (and the board is fine); I just don't know what applications they might have. It's definitely a niche product.
Edit: I've heard that these switches aren't the same as the white Kailh switches in the Chyrosran video. Not sure what the difference is yet.
Thanks! I spend most days here, so I strive to make it a place I enjoy.

You could always get a fightpad as a cheaper option but honestly practice trumps all.
No this controller is pretty bad and horribly designed, I promise you will hate it. Get one of the Hori Fighting Commanders, either the one with the rotating dpad or the one without if you aren't interested in that.
I have the one without the rotating dpad and its made my inputs so clean, I can definitely vouch for it.
Ill link them both if you wanna check them out. You may be able to find them cheaper on other sites but I prefer to just use amazon.

Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas 4 Flight Stick for PS4 & PC https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015PJ68BK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_UG4-zbSZG3JCS
I never played on the PC, but I have it on the XBOX. honestly, I don't think you'll be missing much. The controls are super solid, and if it doesn't quite fit what you need, you can always tweak it. I've personally never had any issues with it, in fact, I'm still using the default controls.
Also, on PS4, if you REALLY want a HOTAS, you can definitely order some for cheap. I'm debating it myself.
But all in all, the controls are super solid! I wouldn't be very worried.
Also, check out /r/ElitePS for the PS4 player of Elite!
Be prepared.
The Thrustmaster HOTAS X is a very inexpensive HOTAS at only $50 USD.
It's a perfectly serviceable unit, though it's rather lacking in buttons (meaning the need for either the keyboard for more buttons or a more complicated control scheme, like ths) and is somewhat imprecise. It also has a bit of annoyance in the form of the fairly short cable connecting the stick and throttle. This means it only uses a single USB port, but also prevents you from doing things like mounting it to the arms of a chair unless you lengthen the cable by splicing it. It has 12 buttons (trigger, 3 more on the stick head, 2 on the throttle base, and 7 on the throttle), twist stick, and a rudder rocker on the back of the throttle.
The Thrustmaster HOTAS 4 is a upgraded version of the HOTAS X, available for $64. As the name says, it's designed to work with the PS4 in addition to PC. Externally, it's identical, though internally, it has a smaller deadzone for better sensitivity.
Moving up the price band, the Thrusmaster T16000m FCS can be had for $128. This is a refreshed version of Thrustmaster's venerable T16000m stick combined with an all new throttle. Compared to the X, the 16000m has many more controls, with a total of 19 buttons (trigger and 3 on the stick, 12 on the stick base, and 3 on the throttle), a two-way switch, two 4-way hats, two 8-way hats, an analog stick, a dial, rudder rocker, twist stick, and a mini throttle. It also has much smoother and more precise action than the X. The stick and throttle each have their own independent cables and each needs a USB port, so you might want to add a hub to your shopping list. All of the pieces can be purchased together or separately, and pedals are also available. Both the stick and throttle have holes for mounting screws if you want to do something interesting.
I've personally used both the HOTAS X and the T16000m FCS, the latter of which is my current HOTAS.
I am new to DCS, a long time flight sim nut and working on my pilot's license. I bought many of the planes (A-10C, F/A-18C, FC3 and the F-5E). I could not decide so it was better to buy them all since they were on sale lol! What I found out was the F-18 and the F-5E are the two I enjoy with the F-5E what I am enjoying most. I feel more like I am having to work more to fly it but in a good way. Fun to startup but not excessive, fun to fly and land. I think I actually like that I do not have all of the toys. The aggressors campaign for the F-5E has been fun to learn on since I also bought the Nevada map. The F/A-18C is a weapons platform, but the real joy is taking off and landing on a carrier.
I bought a cheap HOTAS as I just could not fly with the XBOX controller. It know that it is not the Warthog HOTAS (maybe Christmas 2019 now that there is the F/A-18 add-on stick), but for $70, I cannot stress how much better it is without a deep investment. I got a friend in on the game and he got the A-10C because he wants close quarters bombing and strafing runs and he bought the PS4 version of my stick and loving it.

It's the Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas 4 I bought it at Best Buy for about $60. Currently, EVE Valkerie Elite Dangerous and War Thunder support it. Upcoming Ace Combat 7 and I'm sure other flight based games will as well. EVE alone makes it amazing!

Just to add my experience, on my first try, the rep agreed to honor the 20% discount. The caveat is that I had to place my order at $47.99 price, and they would refund the correct discount in the next 1-2 business days (the rep said either the Marketing/Promo team would do it, or the agent herself would do it). I have full confidence they'll honor the agreement.
If it helps other people, I did the following through chat:
Ticket Detail: "I'm looking for help about Prime pricing on Overwatch - Origins (http://www.amazon.com/Overwatch-Origins-PC/dp/B017L187YG). The list price is $48.99, the Prime price should be $39.20, but is instead listed at $47.99."
Transcript:
>> Agent: Hello, my name is Agent. I'm here to help you today.
>> Me: Hi
>> Agent: Hello, I'm so sorry for the incorrect price show and let me check into this and see what I can do to help.
>> Me: Ok, thanks!
>> Agent: You are most welcome. One moment as I check.
>> Thanks for waiting.
>> May I know if you were referring to the 20% discount that will be applied on pre order items?
>> Me: Yes, the 20% discount that Prime members can get by pre-ordering games.
>>Agent: May I know if you already proceed to check out and and see if 20% discount was applied or it does not show up?
>>Me: When I add it to my card and get to the final page where I can place the order, this item appears: "Prime Savings: -$1.00"
with subtotal as: "Total before tax: $47.99"
>>tax $2.88
>>final price is $50.87
>>obviously $1.00 is far less than 20% of $48.99 ;)
>>Agent: I completely understand and let me check into this and see what I can do to help.
>>Me: Ok, thanks, I appreciate it. I'm looking to buy it with my Prime membership that I otherwise enjoy, but sadly it's not working quite right here.
>>Agent: Thanks for waiting.
>>So sorry if incorrect amount was applied and here is what I can do to help.
>>Please place the order and I will forward this issue to our Marketing and Promotions Team to correct the discount needs to apply on the order and they will respond within 1-2 business days and if our Marketing and Promotions Team will not able to assist you no need to worry I am here to back you up and I will refund 20% discount if Marketing team will not able to help.
>>Me: Ok, so to be clear, somebody at Amazon will refund the correct 20% (be it you, or Marketing & Promotions) at some point in the next 1-2 business days after I place my order, correct?
>>Agent: Yes that is right and may I know if this would be fine for you?
Edit: In case anyone happens across this, spoke to a rep the next day and they're refunding the difference (about $10.00). No problems at all getting Amazon to honor the correct pricing.

There's a blurb about the discount on that page, but it doesn't get taken into account until you're on the actual order confirmation page. Add it to your cart and go to the checkout page just to verify.
It's currently listed for $39.96 here from Amazon.

Cooler Master MasterKeys Pro L RGB with Cherry MX Browns
MX clear switches don't support RGB lighting. You could go with browns instead which have a similar weight to blues but a less noticeable bump in the keystroke.
If that sounds ok, this is a good choice.
Obviously there is no "best," however, if you want a full sized mech with RGB, the ducky Shine 6 is a good option. Similar price to a K70 but better build quality. The CM Masterkeys pro L is another option that is probably cheaper and still slightly better build quality. Although corsair is definitely better than the likes of Razer, it is still priced expensively because of the brand name
Truthfully, neither.
I'd recommend the iKBC F108, the GMMK, or the Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L, if you're looking for something full-size and RGB.
You'd probably want something like a Cooler Master Masterkeys and then buy some thick o-rings to dampen the noise and reduce key travel.
I like Cooler Master
A Cooler Master Pro L RGB full size with Cherry browns, for $80.
As you can see, they're not really in a rush to restock

Redragon has some cheap quality mechanical boards, they're not cherry switches but they're just as good as far as I'm aware.
No idea about deals on the mouse side, but the G203 is a well regarded mouse and that seems like a decent deal.

All are $14.99
I think they are referring to this case by a company called PDP:
https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Nintendo-Switch-Premium-Console-Case/dp/B01MS7AI9G/
The official(?) case is good. It has a Mario themed design. It has fabric slots to hold 14 games. Holds a Switch with Joycon attached and it has a pouch for accessories, would definitely fit your 2 extra Joycon. $15 on Amazon.

I decided to go with Xbox One S + Switch this generation and I'm very happy with my decision. The Xbox is for sports games, racing sims and AAA multiplats and the Switch is for everything else (especially indies). As others have mentioned, the Pro controller and an SD card would be useful additions.
I carry my Switch with the PDP Backpack which has enough room to carry my Switch, 3DS and Vita.
What do y'all think of the messenger bag or backpack? I'm tempted to go for one just so I have room for my pro controller, although I'm not sure the bag will have space for it. The backpack specifically mentions being able to store a pro controller, while the bag does not.
this is what im gonna get

Here's everything I've found on Amazon, roughly in order of how often I've seen them talked about on this sub.
This site is a great read for chargers, power banks, cables, and has a few gift/traveling guides that you might find useful.
I love the Pro Controller (you may need two, I have a feeling you and your wife will fight over it.)
I don't know if it's to everyone's liking, but I find Diablo 3 an absolute blast and you can do local co-op docked or undocked with 4 people (each person can use 1 joycon, 2 joycons [one in each hand or both in a holder], or a different controller altogether.)
This is the tempered glass screen protector that is most often recommended on this sub. I like these Joy-Con holders - they make the Joy-Cons feel more like full-sized controllers and you can charge them right in the holder. You might want to get a bag to carry everything around in easily.
>TPU Cover:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0716KM5BB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T2_phGlzb46D5KVR
That's pretty cool but I think I've seen it in Datablitz SM Megamall, weeks ago. Maybe it was a different brand, but I question the necessity of this considering you'll either be carrying the Switch in a travel case when it's out, or leaving it in its dock at home. And speaking of the dock, you'll have to remove the case every time you want to dock the Switch. Bit of a hassle if you plan on switching modes a lot.
>Messenger Bag (since I'm always moving weekly)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N22YAIP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T2_rhGlzb5Z4BRJ7
Datablitz carries this HORI travel bag for the Switch, which I bought for myself and it does a good job carrying the console, dock, HDMI cable, power adapter, and Joycon grip with extra Joycon attached. The dividers on the inside are modular and can be moved around to suit your packing style. It's about half the price of the messenger bag, and you can still stuff it into a backpack for portability (which is how I carry it around when I do need to bring everything, though that's only happened twice).

There are cases here though none that I've seen which have handles. This isn't an issue though if you've already got a bag or backpack to carry it in, which I highly recommend doing anyway; carrying a Nintendo-branded bag/case around, especially one tailor-fit for the Switch, is just begging to be stolen.
While I don't agree with the necessity of some of these accessories, my Switch use case may very well differ from yours (when you eventually do decide to get it). So if you still think those exact items are the ones you really need to get, then I'd suggest using a shipping forwarder like Jinio (Xend-owned), My-ShoppingBox (FICI-owned), or Shippingcart (LBC-owned) to receive and ship your orders directly to you. I've used all three and they're generally equally reliable.
This Is the one I'm getting soon. People seem to really like it.
Let's be real. Unplugging your Dock and hooking it up takes a grand total of 10-30 seconds. It's not the end of the world. I do it all the time it's why I purchased a carrying bag.

Grey Switch, Pro Controller, BotW Standard, extra AC adapter, Everywhere Messenger Bag (because it comes with a hard zippered case for the gamepad AND I can store everything else in it).
Will probably order 1, 2 Switch before launch. I also want to get a Micro SD card but want to see how big the game files on the eShop (or whatever it may be called) are before I decide on capacity.

I can't seem to find the Best Buy links now, but they will also probably be there too. All additional Joy-Con variations to purchase now are: Gray (2), Red (L) & Blue (R), Red (2), Blue (2), Gray (L), & Gray (R)

Both colors are an option too, though they're in the opposite position from the ones you get with a red/blue Switch:

And considering pre-owned joy-cons cost $35 you're not saving that much money either...

Me parece que mucha opinion de gente que NO tiene un Vive/Rift por aca, o lo probó 15 mins, o lo compro solo de capricho, o pura envidia (?.
Proud Rift owner here: La mejor compra de los ultimos 2 años lejos despues del upgrade de pc que hice. Por suerte en mi caso me lo trajo uno de mis jefes de US cuando vino para aca (tengo muy buena relacion). La recomendacion del Rift siempre es comprar 1 sensor extra, salen 49.99 en US (Compras el Pack Rift Touch + 1 sensor mas), asi tenes 3 y podes hacer room tracking. El tracking es perfecto si posicionas bien las cosas, incluso con 2 sensores.
Algunas cosas a considerar:

Now I do agree with putting forward the money towards flight time as those costs really add up!
I do also have to agree with your original thoughts. Having a home flight sim can be beneficial if done right.
I myself have a setup and it has helped me and I know quite a few others that’s it’s helped also. If taken serious and done right a Flight sim can be used to practice outside of training hours. It can also be very helpful for instrument training and more.
The costs aren’t cheap but to answer your original question of what the costs would be, I put this together for you as an example.
1.A Mid to high Powered Custom built PC

To Sum it up the cost you would be looking at(for options 2/3/4/5/6)
$2971.00 +tax
Sounds like a lot but it’s value and use in what it could provide, could be greater then putting money forward for actual training.
Remember that throughout her training/aviation career(at school and work) a lot of training ends up also being done on Flight sims.
Hope this helps. Any questions feel free to ask.
Cheers.

https://www.oculus.com/blog/rift-touch-now-available-in-a-new-all-in-one-bundle/
The Oculus Rift + Touch bundle is still going on. You get everything you need for roomscale VR, it's 100$ more than this. From personal experience having a CV1, a Vive and quite a bit of use with the PSVR... get an oculus no doubt. The PSVR is nothing in comparison and not roomscale ready at all. It feels a lot more like a DK2 did. While the CV1 isn't too far off in terms of specs for the headset, it DOES have roomscale. The biggest difference between Oculus and the PSVR is that the PSVR uses visible light tracking which is no where near as good. Not to mention the PSVR has an even more limited library of games and the PS4 can barely handle it at all.
This board was posted earlier, super low profile, looks pretty nice. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0722GG88M
Rift incl Touch Controllers are 450€ in Germany

Don't know why someone downvoted you, it's true https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oculus-Rift-and-Touch-Bundle/dp/B073X8N1YW
1.) Neither, You need to use either Wiimote (normal or plus), Wiimote+Nunchuk, or Wii Classic Controller (or CCPro). I recommend the Wii Classic Controller Pro. However, you can use the Gamepad as a screen for your Wii games.
2.) Seeing as you haven't played a game since the Gamecube era, and having no idea of what type of games you enjoy except SSB, I can barely recommend games, but: Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Sonic: Lost World, The Wonderful 101, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, New Super Mario Bros. U (and Luigi U), maybe Lego City: Undercover or Zombi U, and eventually Mario Kart 8.
3.) Injustice is a good game, though I believe the Wii U version doesn't have all the DLC/doesn't have the 'Ultimate Edition). Black Ops 2 is good if you enjoy Call of Duty post Modern Warfare 4. Neither games are 'elite/hardcore' in their respective genres (Fighting/FPS).
4.) I'd recommend the Wii U Pro Controller for most Wii U games that support it. There are some good Virtual Console titles on the Wii U eshop, like Super Metroid, Super Mario World, Megaman X, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Earthbound for SNES, and more recently Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Metroid Fusion, and Kirby & the Amazing Mirror for GBA, with Golden Sun, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Yoshi's Island coming in the next week.
The game pad turns off when you switch to Wii mode.
You will need the Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuck to play the classic Wii games but, the classic Wii remote will work as well if you already own that. In addition, I'd also recommend grabbing a classic controller if you plan on playing Wii games like Super Smash Bros Brawl as the Wii U Pro Controller will not work.
There is an official forum list here of compatible external hard drives, but I haven't put much of a dent in mine yet so, you may want to hold off.
Typical file sizes for older SNES games seem to be in the 20-30 MB range.
You should look into emulating it and playing it with a controller.
The Wii classic pro controller is great for those purposes:
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0
You'll need one of these to use it with a PC:
http://www.amazon.com/WII-CLASSIC-CONTROLLER-TO-USB-Nintendo/dp/B003711698
Nope! They're official. The [Classic Controller Pro] is basically classic controller 2.0 and was once produced by Nintendo.
You may be thinking of something like [This].
However, if I could find a CCP that plugs directly into the Wii console like a GCC, I would buy It in a heartbeat. o3o
A Wii Classic Pro controller, to be more precise
Switch pro controller question:
I wasnt the biggest fan of the Wii u pro controller, it always felt a bit big for me. I could use it no problem, but I would much prefer use the Wii pro classic controller.
Image : https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B002TLTBN0.01.lg.jpg
Do you think the switch pro controller will please me? Should I get it? Thanks
I love the controls however I have never used the normal Wii controls. I'm not sure if any of you have ever used it but I've used the classic controller from the very beginning.
I personally love the classic controls but have no opinion on the normal wii remote controls. What do you guys think?
depends on the grips you get these are ok i used them for a while
http://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1408481861&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=pdp+trigger
then i got these and they are so much more comfortable and the triggers feel softer and easier to pull
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/171233578510?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&amp;_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Wow those grips look better than mines! What are they called and where do you get them?. My main problem with the PDP grips is that the triggers aren't easier to press.
I own these and while they are comfy the L trigger feels squishy. Tried out the Nyko one without the battery pack and it felt to big for my hands.
I am going to jump to the $5 one myself.
you get used to it after a while.... get these grips or something similar, they help keep your hands more confortable.
http://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1413573227&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=PDP+PSVita+Trigger+Grips
Honestly, I think we'll see a third party manufacturer make exactly what you said: a holder with palm grips and comfortable shoulder buttons.
I tried something like this for the PS Vita and it felt so good. https://www.amazon.com/PDP-PSVita-Trigger-Grips/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1488120601&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=ps+vita+grip
The screens are the same dimensions so the 2000 screen protectors will work fine.
And I have this trigger grip which works great for extended play sessions.
https://www.amazon.com/PDP-PSVita-Trigger-Grips/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=sr_1_5?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1482644967&amp;sr=1-5&amp;keywords=grip+vita+1000
You can rotate games so I wouldn't worry about a bigger memory card but I highly recommend getting trigger grips as the bumpers are awful. It'd also be nice if Sony created a good L1/L2/R1/R2 solution. Here's the one I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0072A4JVW?cache=ffe6f2a6f31e0c1ba6336eea7769d2a1&amp;pi=SX200_QL40&amp;qid=1404337399&amp;sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1
I tried this one and hated it:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0073ESZ58/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
But then I bought this one and it is amazing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0072A4JVW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I'm sure if you search on Amazon you'll find the same one for the same price I got it (around $10).
Look for ones that expand the trigger grips and don't block the charger.
This is something i have. slightly more expensive but it works.
copy and pasting my old comment. I currently have this one http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1411403059&amp;sr=8-1-spell&amp;keywords=cybergrip This is an amazing starter grip. The rubber coating is amazing and the texture is awesome, it's also very secure. My only complaint was the first time I held this, I held it like a controller, so both my index fingers were on the shoulder rests thinking I was pressing L or R buttons. To prevent from confusing myself, I put my middle finger onto the rest and my index finger onto the actual L button (i did not do this for my right hand) and thats how I would hold it. Now, I recently stumbled across THIS beauty. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171469999857 I'm waiting for it to come in but it looks absolutely amazing. It looks like the perfect grip for smash and I suggest anyone to buy one as well. PS: It's out of stock atm but if they're out of stock, just message them and they'll relist the item up. Thats what I did. GRAB THESE QUICK, THEY SOLD OUT OF 10 UNDER 2 HOURS
I would say to at least try to get used to the bare bones system first. If it's still not feeling quite comfy then, look into some grips and make sure you get as many opinions as you can. Watch videos if possible, see what it's like in action. Some grips aren't that secure on the 3DS, or may scratch the system.
This is the grip I use. I got it primarily for playing Smash, and I don't use it with every game I play.
I think this is the one you're referring to. It's pretty great. Basically turns it into a Playstation controller.
I have CYBER's 3DS LL grip. It feels good, looks good, and is really comfortable. It's easy to attach / detach and has a little compartment for two additional games. The only thing is blocks is the stylus compartment and that isn't really important anyway.
Unfortunately I can only find one that ships from Japan so you might have to wait a little longer than usual. I highly recommend it otherwise though.
So I've been looking for a grip option for my switch when I'm playing it in handheld mode. I have a grip for my 3ds xl and its awesome (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZXBYJU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1)
So I'm looking for something like this, but for my switch, thoughts on this Mumba grip/case, or have any other suggestions?
The N64 stick is a pretty common mod, you can buy the replacement stick assemblies online:
http://www.amazon.com/Redesigned-REPLACEMENT-Joystick-Controller-Thumbstick/dp/B009MRZAUC
Here you go.
You can get replacement analog sticks that are more like the GC controller's analog sticks:

There's a writeup on installing it here:

I replaced a few of my worn joysticks with these:
https://www.amazon.com/Redesigned-REPLACEMENT-Joystick-Controller-Thumbstick/dp/B009MRZAUC
Makes it more like a GameCube stick. I know it's not to everyone's taste but it definitely made THPS2 a lot easier to play.
I bought GameCube style joysticks off amazon for about $10 each. I’ve used one for about a year and haven’t had any issues so far.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009MRZAUC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_i6dwCbZTYVJKV
It isn't perfect, but you can replace the [N64 stick with one that works like the Gamecube one] (https://www.amazon.com/Redesigned-REPLACEMENT-Joystick-Controller-Thumbstick/dp/B009MRZAUC/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_63_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=FHK96TGDX7RTR0FS9NBQ)
Is this it?
I don't see how he can justify those prices. $80 for pokemon, they go for like $25! The battery costs $2 and someone could learn to do it in 30 minutes, and maybe a new sticker for a few more dollars. The N64 joystick replacement actually looks very easy to do, no soldering required, but that is atleast a reasonable price. $10 part and Tutorial
https://www.amazon.com/Redesigned-REPLACEMENT-Joystick-Controller-Thumbstick/dp/B009MRZAUC
These are incredibly good for replacing old worn N64 joysticks! Easy to install and will last much much longer!
The replacement feels very similar to a gamecube or Wii joystick.
Hope this helps!
don't forget to fix the joystick while you are at it with a repalcement unit
easy! 7 screws, and 2 smaller ones and the controller is apart. There were 2 or 3 more holding in the joystick unit, and it was plug and play. There was a minor bit of sanding to get it to plug in, then just put it all back together. I got it here but the price went up to $11.95 with free shipping. It's basically a new controller, and you won't have to worry about the joystick getting lose like the old ones did.
You can tell that the analog sticks aren't original in a lot of these pictures. Replacements can be found cheap and are fairly easy to install -

Not with the included headset, but almost all other headsets will have that functionality. The Xbox Stereo Headset is great and actually on sale for $40 (normally $80).
Yes, you can sell the AC codes on /r/gamesale or ebay/wherever.

I use this one : the Hori FC4 Pro
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8
I've been using it for almost 2 years now, and it is just beginning to show some signs of fatigue. So I bought another one. I just love this pad
I must note that I play Gief, both in SF5 and SF4 and that I am quite a butter churner (I killed a brand new Hori wireless Tekken5 stick in 2 days, a PDP MKX fightpad in a month, a madcatz SfxT in 2 weeks) :p
I never had problems with the rotating d-pad, nor the sensitivity switch (though I locked both as I wanted them day1, and never unlocked them since, so that may be why).
What I really like about this pad is the sensitivity setting and the 6 + 4 buttons. Of course you can only map 8 buttons in game, but then I have my 6 face buttons for LP/MP/HP and LK/MK/HK, on the left triggers I have PPP (lariat) and KKK (V-reversal) and on the right triggers HP and HK that I use only to activate Vtrigger. This makes it much easier to do things like c.LP os V-Trigger
As far as prices on the Amazon US go:
The Hori Fighting Commander 4 has universally positive reviews, is compatible with PS4, and now it's discounted to $30.
The Qanba Q1 is a very good budget choice for sticks, costs $80, proprietary but good quality parts (can be modded later), and is compatible with PS4 SFV in legacy mode.
For higher-end, there is the Hori RAP 4 for $150, PS4 compatibility, quality Hori stick and buttons, pretty much the best you can get ($200 on MadCatz TE2 is not worth)
Or you could try the used route, I bet there are many people selling their old but good sticks on eBay because of PS4.

Fortunately they used the same plugs as the [Wii Classic controller] (https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-nintendo/dp/B000IN0BSU/ref=pd_sim_63_4?ie=UTF8&amp;dpID=41SKjuShldL&amp;dpSrc=sims&amp;preST=_AC_UL320_SR268%2C320_&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=ZXT8DZ4F1ZSZFRVGJR4X) or Wii Classic controller Pro so you can use that instead of gouging your hands.
I usually just play on my Wii U, but I bought an adapter for the wii classic pro controller, it's my favorite controller for all my games. http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1397574145&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=wii+classic+pro+controller
This is the adapter I bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0089O4EB0/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Most other people prefer the gamecube controller for smash though. See /u/baldbutt 's comment for that though c:
The classic controller can be used for every Wii VC title, so you can use the classic controller for OOT and Majora's Mask and all of the NES, SNES, and N64 titles on the Wii VC.
(I prefer the [classic controller pro] (http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1398710109&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=classic+controller+pro).)
Best bet for playing TP without motion control is playing it on Gamecube.
Have you tried SS? The motion control is beautiful, best use of it on the system, 1:1 movement of the sword. Could be wrong, but I don't think there is any way to play it without the motion control.
Keep in mind that everything lacking a "Wii" logo in the top center of the controller is a knockoff and is probably garbage.
If you want a Classic Controller, you want to buy one of these two:
Black
White
They're just referring to these:
Classic Controller
Classic Controller Pro
They're just controllers made for the Wii's Virtual Console, but they plugged into the Wii remote itself to make it wireless.
The ones that plug into the wiimotes are called wii classic controller pro. The ones that are wireless/usb are pro controllers
I use this & this for all my gaming needs, both retro and non....
...and the only issue i've ever had with it is that the driver can cause a BSOD if you constantly plug and unplug the device. Also, you have to have the controller plugged in before you plug in the device itself...
...maybe that's just issues with this device, but it's something to keep in mind...
Most people probably won't agree (or didn't even know it was possible), but Wii Classic Controller/Classic Controller Pro with the Mayflash converter is another option. If you get the Classic Controller Pro with Mayflash, it actually comes out a little cheaper than the 360 controller.
That being said, there are some conversion issues which require some other programs to work with. Still, it's a nice controller.
I like the Classic Pro controller.

> Is there a good controller with the layout of a pro but the joystick of a GC?
The Wii Classic Pro controller is the best controller design ever IMO. It has GC joysticks on the bottom, a good D-pad, and the face buttons feel great.
Unfortunately, it's one of the ones that awkwardly plugs into the Wii remote. If it was a standalone like the Wii U Pro controller it would be amazing.
what was said about being interpreted literally, but for the shape as well.
What I think a more realistic version of this would look like is a cell phone, in the shape of a classic controller pro, with 2 thumb pads similar to the 3ds's. I personally think it's an awesome idea.
Add these together then put the zelda pic on it.:

Definitely get that one, it's perfect for MH
I bought the PS one. Fits it just fine.
dock
As long as the handles aren't bigger then grips , you should be fine.
hey thanks! yes they are super comfy. these are the ones i have
FWIW I play my Vita way more often since I got these. The Vita by itself makes my hands cramp up because of awkward finger placements and the handles help so much.
But also yes, PS+ is pretty rad and even if you decide to get rid of your Vita you'll still get the games for PS3.

I play Battlefield 4 remote play and this has helped me personally. PDP PSVita Trigger Grips by PDP http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_n-GStb1K0242K
I have both the Nyko Power Grip and the PDP Trigger Grip and I really like them both. I've found the Nyko is just a little more comfortable for me and I love the extra battery life but having the extended triggers on the PDP grip is useful at times. Either grip is definitely better than no grip. I'm a girl but 6ft and apparently my hands are just too large to play without them.
EDIT: The Nyko Power grip can be picked up in the wild for cheaper than that amazon link. I just put it up for reference. If you don't care about the extra battery life also check out the CTA Grip.
Wish i would have seen this a week ago
I bought the trigger grips, the nyko power grips and the nyko clones (no power) i think ct or something.
I threw the trigger grips in the trash (only paid $6 for them)
The nyko battery died but its by far the most comfortable. good luck
p.s. the triggers on the pdp suck and are not an improvement over the regular vita triggers imho. I play a lot of destiny. YMMV with other games
http://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1416511565&amp;sr=8-1-fkmr0&amp;keywords=ps+vita+trigger+grrp
I went through this same dilemma recently, and ended up with two different grips.
First I bought the PDP because it seemed to be the most "dual shock" like. It's pretty expensive, so I bought one used off eBay. It came smelling like cigarettes, but after leaving it in a bowl of warm dishsoap for an hour it was good as new. However, the shoulder triggers are terrible. Very spongey and they are prone to getting stuck at times. Plus they make an awful squeaky crunching sound that made it hard to play at night without waking up my SO. A lot of other people had this problem online, so I tried a few different solutions I found. I took out the top screws to make the case looser, which didn't make much of a difference. Later I used some WD-40 on the triggers which made a tiny difference, but not enough.
I decided I was done with the stupid thing and about a week ago I ordered the Dreamgear Comfort Grip off Amazon. It doesn't feel as much like a dual shock, but it is waaaay better than the stupid overpriced PDP in every other aspect. Going from the PDP to the Dreamgear was like taking gloves made of cement off my hands. I recommend the DG 100%.
So far I bought:
PDP trigger grips
An adapter so I can char be via any USB charger
Sony screen protective film
Kinda ridiculous that they purposely disabled the ability to charge via any USB charger.
I find it is a little. I got the Trigger Grip and for games where you use the sticks more it's okay, but the grip part isn't as long as I'd like it to be.

You echo my impressions. The slow down is similar (but not as bad) to what happens on my 2009 Macbook Pro. This was fixed on PC by being able to disable full screen effects. Still it's disappointing to see it on Vita and with no options to turn off full screen effects here. One might even argue that ghosting is easier with the slight lag. However the "dead are restless" levels are much worse and the "wet fur" levels have this issue as well.
Regarding point #3, you can buy external attachments for the Vita. This model which I use has PS3/360 style triggers and makes prolonged gaming periods tolerable. Something like this will be even better although it's missing the faux triggers of the first model.
I'm glad I could be of help! I love my Vita and I couldn't be happier to help someone else decide if they want one of their own.
FPS have been really hit or miss depending on your play style. For instance the Black ops declassified campaign was really poor. It was basically a bunch of time trials strung together. However I had a really good time with the horde mode the game offers and drop back in to it every now and again when I have a few minutes to spare.
I've been hearing really good things about Killzone mercenary so much so in fact that I'm starting to believe that this game could end up being a heavy system seller.
Here's a gameplay trailer
For the record I also enjoy the single player campaign to these games, they come off as corny action movies. Which is the best thing ever.
Can you elaborate on the rear touchpad? What is it made for? Will it get in the way of me trying to play the games I've purchased?
The rear touch pad adds a significant amount of interaction to many Vita titles. For instance Little big planet Vita allows you to interact with some objects in the environment in different ways. It also functions as the L-2 and R-2 buttons for PS2 titles. Many games don't bother with it's use what so ever however, so it's kind of hit or miss.
The difficulty you'll have with it really depends on the size of your hands, as a giant handed monstrosity I have some issues with it personally. Getting some grips for your Vita well help out quite a bit if you're a fellow monstrosity.
These trigger grips help a bunch
Lastly, I'm guessing that I can DL games from PS+ while I'm on my home wifi. Is that correct, or is there a specific cable that I need to DL games from PS+ directly to the Vita?
You can indeed download games via wifi quite easily with the Vita, while also being able to transfer them to either cloud storage or your PC to save space when not playing them. Additionally the the AC adapter doubles as a USB cord to plug the system into your PC for easy transfers and whatnot. It's good stuff.
I hope this helped! And don't worry about asking questions, we're a pretty helpful community overall! :D
*Edit: So many typos -_-
Here is the grip I have.
If I'm at home it has very low latency which is good, even the aiming is somewhat accurate (better then I'd expect). Because my hands are leaner than I'd say yours (according to your disclaimer ) its not too bad, no where near as good as the ds4, also the controls are mapped as l2 and r2 are the left and right of the back touchpad and l3 and r3 are the two bottoms corners so it makes it somewhat easier to handle then say having all the buttons mapped to the back (example being battlefield 4) all in all its great for bed side gaming I'd say, also there are grips like these that make it easier to hold
you can still find it on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0072A4JVW
I really like the PDP Grips. You might be able to find them cheaper on eBay or elsewhere. Lately, I've considered upgrading to the Nyko Power Grip though. They seem bulky, but I've heard they're great.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_kUxktb0MD36SW
Hope that link works, I'm on mobile and haven't slept all night.
But seriously, that thing fucking rocks.
I have not found a grip that allows access to the stylus, I have searched for hours on end. I use this one though and it is very comfortable http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=sr_1_3/190-0992999-8062546?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1394578287&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=3ds+xl+grip
Sorry, I meant to link you once I got on a computer.
I use this one ( I bought it on Amazon for ~$20 but the price has since skyrocketed. I'm sure other sites also sell this).
It definitely adds bulk and weight, but the grip/handle of it far outweighs the cons. Whenever I need to travel with my 3DS I just take it off.
http://www.amazon.com/DreamGEAR-Nintendo-3DS-XL-Comfort-Grip/dp/B008XHCLFO/ref=pd_bxgy_vg_img_y
is that perhaps what you are looking for?
or maybe even one that is even more like a normal controller.
http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1397219618&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=3ds+ll+controller+grip
Also the comfort grip and the cyber grip are things I heard good things about. The last one might be Xl only btw...
Edit: Just found the hand grip as well, which seems to be a regular sized 3ds grip.
Edit 2: The Circle Pad Pro is the only thing I have expiernce with. It's great, but a little bulky. When you're lying in bed playing MH3U it'll get heavy eventually. But still, I'd recommend it.
I heard that the rubber gets thin over time and is kinda squishy. I bought this one and it is amazing. Feels exactly like a controller, but is pretty much impossible to carry in your pocket while you are using it.
Yeah, having a good grip for your 3ds can really help cramping issues. If you need one for the XL, I reccomend this: http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU
I've been using it for months, it's great! Though the price seems to have gone up a bit since I last saw it. You may wanna look around and see if it's a little cheaper anywhere else(just search for "cyber grip 3ds")
Aside from this, I don't know what else you should do. I hope you find a way to to play comfortably!
I HIGHLY recommend getting this grip http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1411297699&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=3ds+xl+grip+cyber . I live in Japan so it was only about 10 bucks here, but it's a night and day different, just feels like holding a game controller. Was getting bad hand cramps after about 20 minutes on the demo, picked that up with the full game and I can play comfortably as long as I like. Feels really sturdy, uncomplicated, takes all of 5 seconds to "install".
I actually have gone through three.
first I got the dreamgear and holding that one worked really well but i didn't like the material so much and it kept slipping off parts of the 3ds. plus it's also geared towards protection which I'm not too worried about so I returned that one
then I tried the cyber one which honestly felt the best overall to hold. I have pretty big hands and it just fit perfectly like an actual controller. But, for me at least the shoulder buttons were really hard to get to. The way my hands fit onto it, my fingers didn't rest on the shoulder buttons naturally, and trying to move them in the heat of the moment wasn't really working out.
so I returned that one, and picked up this one. I actually just got it today so I haven't gotten to try it out yet, but I've heard good things about it, and it seems like the best of both so here's hoping
I don't have a ruler, but my hands are about 1 inch loner than the 3DS XL is long. The 3DS XL is 6.3 inches, so my hand is about 7.3 inches. My Palm size is the width of the 3DS XL, so my palm is about 3.7 inches wide.
None of this really matters in my opinion, because neither of them are comfortable. I tried the 3DS in a store, got cramps. I bought the XL, got cramps. It wasn't until I got a controller style grip for the system that I am able to play it comfortably. My suggestion is that you try them both in stores, see which one is better for you. If they're both bad, get a grip like this. I know there is one out for the N3DS LL now, I'm not sure about the standard size. Other companies make good ones too, but the one I linked is the one I have and trust and it works really really well.
Ok so....I think all of you people who turn it off accidentally are goobers. I don't even see how it's possible to hold the thing this way. THAT BEING SAID. My friend has little tiny baby hands so I got her this http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU and she has not had the problem sense. Good luck, god speed, kill dem damn monsters.
I bought this one. It's worked pretty well for me so far. Only thing is I accidentally bent the bottom tab and it snapped off but as long as you don't force it your fine.
Honestly it feels great but getting it off has thus far been impossible. Dreamgear makes a good one but I think the best one similar to this is this one. The dreamgear one is more like an overall case, and some people say they have to cut the flaps near the l and r buttons. I consider myself a savvy consumer so maybe I just chose poorly here or got a defective one, I don't know.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008ZXBYJU?pc_redir=1411971363&amp;robot_redir=1
Yeah I do like it and it is definitely better than no grip but I prefer this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008ZXBYJU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1412205446&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=SY200_QL40
The one with the triggers seems kinda junky whereas the Amazon is actually very solid.l but doesn't have the triggers.
I wish I could combine the two.

Buy that right now and choose the fastest shipping
Maybe it's against the spirit of this sub but there's a decent grip available for the 3DS XL https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZXBYJU/ref=s9_dcacsd_dcoop_bw_c_x_2_w. It's not perfect but good enough that I haven't feelt the need to design one myself.
I've only ever used an XL and I highly recommend it. Especially with these grips.
EDIT: I have big-ish hands and those grips have stopped hand cramps for me. If you get craps in your hands from playing for any length of time... those are the answer. It is also convenient as you can carry two games in the grip.
I use these hand grips for my xl. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008ZXBYJU/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1417747346&amp;sr=8-2&amp;pi=AC_SY200_QL40 I can't imagine using anything else.
I used these. Takes away a little authenticity, but they feel fantastic and will probably age better. They're also very easy to swap in.
I'd go with this if they are tourney legal. Not sure on it, but my friend bought 4 of these and 4 used original controllers and they are the best I've ever used.
It's actually one of those cheap N64 replacement sticks you can find all over Ebay and Amazon.
Emphasis on "cheap". They look and feel nice, but the pots conversion is total trash and you get some hefty input lag.
But programming your own chip is a great alternative that will work perfectly. Gonna cost you quite a bit more than 10 cents though, that's for sure.
Here is all you need to know.
A replacement stick is usually the best way, not sure if you can get replacements. Another method i found kinda skimmed through it but it sounds like he cleans it up and uses a piece of tape to tighten up the stick again (http://www.instructables.com/id/Loose-Nintendo-64-thumbstick-repair/?ALLSTEPS) Ah i did find replacement sticks. So full out replacement would be your best bet. (https://www.amazon.ca/Redesigned-REPLACEMENT-Joystick-Controller-Thumbstick/dp/B009MRZAUC)
Hey, psst. You NEED these.
Only takes about 10 minutes to replace and you only need a screwdriver. I've got 4 of them, work amazing.
Want an N64 classic? Make it a Slimmer model like what this guy did
Region Free? Get one like this or 3D Print it.
Want some wireless controllers? Try something like this or there's this option
Oh no! Analog stick is not too good on the OG controllers? replace it/Enkko , Replace it/ SteelSticks or use the GC Stick Method
Want HDMI / RGB Output? Do it yourself/ get an electronics person to help you
Want some fancy aesthetics for the console/ Controllers? Look no further!, LED Controller mod
Game list isn't what you wanted? oh no, you can't play Romhacks/ unreleased games? Get an Everdrive/ ED64
In total, besides the current price for the Steel Sticks and possibly the ED64 (depending on if you work or not/ have extra income), an N64 Classic Edition with all of those things, wouldn't be too far off budget.
You can just buy a redesigned module from, for example, amazon and use it to replace the controller's existing stick. It's plug & play so you only need a philips screwdriver.
link
Honestly I'm a much bigger fan of these that I just got from amazon instead. I don't really trust a $20 controller, and for that price you can pick up two of these. Installation was easy and it's just like playing on a classic N64 controller, but better.
Did you know Amazon will donate a portion of every purchase if you shop by going to smile.amazon.com instead? Over $50,000,000 has been raised for charity - all you need to do is change the URL!

Redesigned REPLACEMENT Joystick for Nintendo 64 Controller Repair N64 Thumbstick Pad https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009MRZAUC/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_vqoCwbD43W0JH
Not actually an adapter. A replacement joaystick for your OG N64 controller.
I recommend a Sony Trinitron if you get a CRT. These sets are the most well-built among tube TVs, which matters a lot when you're looking for a 10-30 year old appliance. Sony also held a patent on the best CRT technology for almost the entire time CRT sets were relevant, so Trinitrons have objectively better picture quality than any competing sets of the day. Make sure you get the remote with the TV in case you need to adjust the picture. 20"-25" is a good size for a multiplayer gaming TV in the corner, but you might want an extra set of hands to help you move anything larger than 24" depending on how far you'll have to carry it.
Also, for $20-$25 online, you can get an S-Video cable for the N64. S-video is a much clearer video signal than the standard yellow-RCA-jack composite video, which is itself just compressed S-video. Here is a comparison between the two. If you decide to get one of these I cannot recommend ANY generic cables since they're almost always terribly cheap and it's a matter of luck whether they will work, so get a Nintendo-brand cable for either composite or S-video.
You can also get replacement N64 joysticks online, (like here or here) some of them arguably superior to the originals. A lot of those Mario Party minigames will kill N64 joysticks, especially OG sticks, which need to be re-lubricated (I recommend white lithium grease) after twenty years of use. There are also plenty of kooky, unorthodox third-party controllers for the N64 which, by virtue of their design, add some challenge to games you thought you were good at.
Sorry for the wall of text, there's just a lot of technical stuff that goes a long way in improving the retro gaming experience, and most of the high-end and cutting-edge stuff of yesterday is obscure knowledge now. S-Video will give you the biggest bang for your buck, and combining that with a compatible Trinitron will get you ~90% of what hundreds of dollars of equipment can do. And that means more games. =)
I have actually done this exact project before, even with NRF24L01+ modules.
Here's a few resources you'll want:
https://code.google.com/p/micro-64-controller/wiki/Protocol
https://github.com/brownan/Gamecube-N64-Controller
http://web.archive.org/web/20151030122223/http://www.eecs.umich.edu/courses/eecs373/Lec/StudentW14/N64%20Controller.pdf
This site used to have a ton of good information, but now it's down. That's where I got my info, but the stuff I gave you above should be enough.
In my controller I had:
I took the chip out of the N64 controller and wired all the buttons and the joystick to the ATmega. For power savings, the positive line for the joystick was hooked up to a GPIO pin so I could switch it off. Every 5ms the controller wakes up, reads the buttons and joystick state, transmits it, then goes to sleep again. With some other optimizations, I got the controller to draw less than 1mA while using it. :)
On the receiver side I had a custom board with an STM32 microcontroller, but you can do it with a Teensy 3. No voltage regulator needed, the N64 uses 3.3V for the controllers.
I recommend using something faster than 16MHz because while you can make it work, you'll need to do a bit of assembly and it's a bit more fiddly. Use a Teensy 3.0 at 72MHz and you'll have much more headroom.
You need to use the links I gave you to re-implement the N64 controller protocol in the Teensy. Every time the N64 requests controller data, just give it the latest info you received from the controller.
I'm not sure how much you know so this might all sound like a bit much! I'll be happy to try to help you but this sort of project will be very difficult if you don't have decent coding skills.
Here - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009MRZAUC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
In addition, I'd recommend something like this. Stock N64 analog sticks wear kind of quickly.
Microsoft's Stereo Headset is about $44 on Amazon right now. I highly recommend it.

how much for this?

Yes! If you have (at least +1) other speaker, you can group rooms together. The cooler feature is that I can be streaming pandora to my kitchen, I can be streaming spotify to my playbar (and I did this the other day) AT THE SAME TIME was streaming the XB1 in-game audio to my M$ Stereo Headset
http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Stereo-Headset/dp/B00IAVDQCK

and I'm happy with mine. Sounds quite Nice.
This is heavily dependent on the type of glasses you wear, OP. I purchased my new pair to be as lightweight as possible, and I have very few issues with headsets now. Aside from that, these headphones are the most comfortable I've worn, and I've experimented quite a bit with Sennheisers and Audio Technicas. I also have no issues with the Microsoft stereo headset. Quite comfortable actually. I'll also echo others and say that TBs are generally uncomfortable. My local Walmart had all the TBs on display ready to try if you want to experiment.
Yes, and yes.
The x12 headset requires stereo RCA (red & white) audio jacks to get game audio, and the Xbox One does not provide that. So, you will need something else, and that "something" depends on the rest of your setup. Check for an audio output on the stereo system or TV you plug your Xbone into. If none is available, you can use the Xbone's optical output and something to convert it to RCA -- here is one example I found just searching for "Optical to RCA".
Also, the chat cable (that goes from the headset to the 360 controller) will not plug in to the Xbone controller directly; you will need the Stereo Headset Adapter. Plug it in, and then use the balance controls on the adapter to be completely on "chat", so that it only emits chat audio and not game audio.
Note that you can get away with just using the Stereo Headset Adapter to get both game and chat audio through the controller and the chat cable, but in my experience with the x41 headset, it sounds like crap, because the headset is expecting a mono chat audio source and processes it as such.
Honestly, for the price and hassle, you'd be better off just picking up the Stereo Headset. You'll get the same stereo quality of the x12, but it's just using a single cable connection to your controller, and it'll cost as much or less as the equipment you'd need to get the x12 hooked up.
Xbox One Stereo Headset by Microsoft Software http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IAVDQCK/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_7MJPub18T4EGP
I got this one for my son, and it's pretty good value for the price. The sound is good, the virtual surrounds works well and it fits my giant head comfortably.
The only downside I see is that the microphone is on a stiff plastic arm and cannot be placed very close to your mouth.

I would think something like this would be what you're looking for
Looks like I'm just going with the Xbox One Stereo Headset which is much less in comparison but much more simple in comparison but it's good because I am not fully committed to gaming on the Xbone yet. Thanks for the suggesting regardless!

Buying a 60-day time card does count. Just make sure it gives a link to the promo on the page of the time card you are buying (like this one). The items are given to all characters on your account.
I bought a 60 day time card from amazon and after I punched it in, I automatically got the vet rewards for 30 and 60 day. So time cards for sure will unlock your vet rewards right away.
I'm not sure what you mean by steam gift cards. AFAIK, I only paid for the steam base product, and my subscription is maintained strictly in mogstation through my SE account.EDIT: I went into my mogstation account and found a button that allows you to use steam payment. It's right next to add a time card button.
This is the time card that I bought: https://www.amazon.com/Final-Fantasy-XIV-Online-Time/dp/B00O15486W
Aren't you able to purchase a time card from amazon or another retailer like that? I know this doesn't solve the bigger problem (support itself and your blist ip) but at least it is a bandage that will allow you to continue to enjoy the game. Sorry if I missed something about why you arent using the time card in your post, I just woke up and I am not fully awake yet. Good luck!

It'll show for us Brazilians as currently unavailable, you need to make an account with an US address (needs to be an account with just an US address, you can't add a new address to your BR account), then you'll be able to buy it. You also need to use an international credit card.
you can buy gametime cards and that counts.

i use the hori gamepad
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8
> no problem, i also played melee for about a year and then transitioned to this game, this is my first sf game. I love melee but i can honestly say i haven't looked back
buy a fight commander 4, aside the default ps4 controller imo its the best pad to play on, good features , good quality and the 6 button layout is perfect for SF games. also the controller is not TOO expensive
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1468827278&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=hori+fighting+commander
heres a less feature filled on, but equally good
https://www.amazon.com/PS4-PS3-compatible-Fighting-commander-14210671/dp/B017QORK8W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1468827278&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=hori+fighting+commander
If you want a quick lowdown on whats not on the cheaper model is, its missing the repositional d-pad as well as the dpad diagonal sensitivity adjuster (this helps for more rigid controls or looser controls for easier circular motions). The shape is also slightly different but thats not a biggy :)
If you want to use an actual stick, I'd say it's probably not worth getting the Alpha. Miniature sticks such as the Alpha and the Hori Fighting Stick Mini tend to be uncomfortable to use for extended periods of time, and are made using lower quality parts than full-size sticks. If you want a stick, the cheapest one I'd recommend would probably be the Qanba Carbon. I own one and it's a fairly nice stick for beginners. Technically it's not a PS4 controller, but Street Fighter 5 and a few other games support it in Legacy Mode. Check to see if the other fighting games you have support Legacy controllers. If they do, this is a great option for your price range. Otherwise, your next best bet is probably the Qanba Drone.
If you want a pad, the revamped fightpad pro is a good choice. I've never used one but the new model has gotten significantly better reviews than the problematic previous model. Personally I went with the Hori FC4, but the price has gone significantly up since that model isn't being manufactured anymore. The newer model is only $40 though, so that fits in your budget.
Will this controller work well for the PC? Do I need to install special drivers or perform obscure steps to make it work?

Only one I can think up off the top of my head. Only comes in Outemu Browns though. That and it uses a dongle, no BT.
Don't pull trigger right away though, someone may have something better.
I dunno if there is any wireless TKLs less than 30 US, but the wired form of this board is 10 less, but it seems out of stock and I can't access the link to it (Also brown only). If you really wanted blues, Redragon K552 uses Outemu blues only, although I don't personally like the bumped up logo and it is wired:

Looks pretty good. I would swap out the wifi card for this gigabyte one as it's better. Allows for a movable antenna and uses an Intel NIC for better performance.

As much as I love Nixeus, imo if you're going to go with a cheaper mechanical you might as well pick up some of the chinese ones. Redragon ones have been the popular budget pick, and will save you a good amount of money especially if you grab the non-backlit version(as the nixeus one is not backlit either)

Hiraliy F300 Gaming Mouse ($17)
+
Redragon K552-N Mechanical keyboard ($27)
$44 total. Cheaper than the Redragon $50 bundle and the mouse is better.
On your budget you don't need the lights on the normal K552, though you could grab that for a few dollars more if you really want them. The Redragon M711 Cobra is a good budget mouse option as well, same sensor. Though it may be a little more expensive, I didn't look. I like the Hiraliy a little better, the cord doesn't snag as much.
I really wouldn't go any cheaper on the keyboard or mouse, you could probably find a membrane keyboard or a slightly cheaper mouse and get the cost down to around $30 but it's really worth it to spend the extra money.
here are a couple mechanical keyboards for around 40$ i have the first one from mechanical eagle (typing on it right now its great) https://www.amazon.com/MechanicalEagle-Multicolor-Mechanical-Keyboard-Replaceable/dp/B01DBVH16U/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1487901926&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=mechanical+eagle+mechanical+keyboard

I've only used this one personally. The keycaps are pretty cheap, and it's certainly nothing to write home about, but I still think it's pretty solid for the price. There may be better options though, this is just the only one I have direct experience with.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXD7TP9/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdo_rGPHzbE316WEP
Multiple LED options, metal backplate, etc
Maybe try this one.
I have the RGB version, and it is really nice for the price.
So I've used it a little now general use so far and I'm loving it! I swapped from a Razer Deathstalker Chroma (I know boo and hiss but it was a Christmas present from my grandma) so I'm not used to the action of it yet and I'm definitely going to need a wrist rest soon. It has some (what the page on amazon says) MX Cherry Green equivalent (read knockoff) but after taking some caps off and looking they're actually blue (if that means anything). I'll have to do a full write up on it after I've used it for a bit. But for a cheap mech its great. Here's a link as well Redragon K552-N Kamara
Nope, I've looked into those tho, just never pulled the trigger.

OP UPDATE: 🔥Price Drop 🔥 to $14.99 on this case at this link: PDP Nintendo Switch Premium Console Case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MS7AI9G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_f0UEybDAS05RW note: just for case only, not kit
I have this case and it works great.
I tend to think that screen protectors are generally unnecessary on glass devices. There's a chance that in the case of impact on the screen, it might save your device, but it's a pretty limited range of impacts that will shatter a glass screen protector but not the screen itself.
As far as scratches go, I'm on my third smartphone at this point, and before that I had an original iPod touch. On all those devices, the only one I've ever managed to scratch at all is the iPod. And even that was a tiny scratch.
I am relatively careful with my phones (I don't shove them in my pocket with my keys like a monster, for example), but I'm not doing anything that I see as being out of the ordinary, either. I use them, and I take them with me just about everywhere (including day hikes); I just don't abuse them.
I also oversee a 1:1 iPad deployment at work, where we give them to high school students. A lot of ours are in Otterboxes that we provide which cover the screens, but we have a fair number that aren't (and the first year we did it, we used a different case). I've only seen a very very few of those that kids managed to scratch. And they're rough on things. (We do have a moderate number of broken screens each year, but these are careless high schoolers.) Even on our iPads in carts at the elementary and middle schools, where I've seen glitter and art supplies and various other things on the screens, I don't think I've seen any scratches (and we've had no broken ones). So take that for what it's worth.
I think that if you get an inexpensive case for the Switch for when it's riding around in your bags or when it's not in use, it'll probably be fine.
PDP's case has 14 slots
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MS7AI9G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_yCSMybYY5HDJ1
I bought this one - Nintendo Switch Premium Console Case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MS7AI9G/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_aq0mzbC2BTEF5
Not too impressed with the quality of inside the case.
I'm getting this one from amazon it holds the switch itself on top of 14 games so I can bring them anywhere easily
Thanks! The Switch case is [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MS7AI9G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_zYK-yb3N0G6J7). I got it due to it's compact nature, plus it comes with 14 cartridge pockets. So far, no complaints about it.
My list for launch is:
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
I might impulse buy a set of red and blue neon Joy-Cons if I see 'em floating around at launch, but I don't think they'll be essential accessories right off the bat -- between the Pro Controller and included Joy-Cons, that's three controllers right there.
this guy goes through some thoughts! particularly about good SD cards and the Pro Controller and JoyCon accessories.
https://youtu.be/v8U58MaSu4U
i want to get a nice case, which is important when throwing it in your backpack. i have this for the 3DS XL and am looking forward to a nifty upgrade for the Switch. i don't even plan on buying physical games (if the price is right) so maybe one without game slots would be sleeker. this one looks quite good and comes with a screen protector, that's from Play Asia. as mentioned in the video i linked, a company called RDS Industries is also doing some good looking cases
I have this case that I will just put in a backpack-style purse that looks like this. The case is a bit bulky, but I don't usually carry too much other than my wallet, phone and keys. If you are lacking space, then maybe you can find a cute makeup bag to put your switch in? Otherwise, I'd recommend at least getting a screen protector for it.
I want this one.
Elite Player Backpack
Here is a backpack for the whole system:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MS7DVLT/ref=sr_1_29?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1484367675&amp;sr=1-29&amp;keywords=nintendo+switch
I have a Switch Elite Player Backpack by PDP and it can hold all of that.
There is technically only one spot for a pro controller, but there is plenty of extra space and pockets to put a second one in there. I carry one pro controller and 2 joy-con grips regularly.
This looks perfect for you: https://www.amazon.ca/PDP-Nintendo-Switch-Player-Backpack/dp/B01MS7DVLT/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1491343685&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=nintendo+switch+bag
as for your powerbank, we have posters using usb c-> usb c and it works.
this one can ship to canada,
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Elite-Player-Backpack/dp/B01MS7DVLT/ref=sr_1_10?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1486751455&amp;sr=1-10&amp;keywords=Hori+Switch
I asked a question elsewhere about what alternatives there might be to this backpack. I like the sound of it, but there aren't any photos of the interior, so I'm not sure whether or not to invest in it. The fact that it can hold a full-size gaming headset means it likely has room to comfortably hold the Pro Controller, which would be a big boon.
Alternatively, /u/Sloth-Zilla informed me of this messenger bag, which is quite tempting. My concern with it is that there might not be room in it for the Pro Controller. =\ So I'm still kind of stuck in limbo.
There is the officially licensed Switch backpack which you can find here. That thing is a pretty big and should be able to accommodate all the controllers (I know how much of a pain they can be to transport). Here is Nintendo's officially licensed messenger back but it can only hold the switch and one controller. Other than those two I got nothing other than perhaps just a general big ass backpack while putting your switch in a case.
I use an HD60s. Super easy setup, I actually recorded this in a hotel on the road.
Edit: Just to note I bring everything, dock included, with me. A quick shot out for the switch back pack. If you price watch you can get it at 19.99 regularly. https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Elite-Player-Backpack-PDP/dp/B01MS7DVLT/ref=asc_df_B01MS7DVLT/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=312155846364&amp;hvpos=1o2&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=18142970338748256015&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=m&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=1023640&amp;hvtargid=pla-349910456871&amp;psc=1
I have a switch backpack , it’s lovely for travel, can carry up to 8 joy cons (2 attached to the switch and 6 pockets), lots of pockets for everything and room for others. People have mentioned to not carry it in a visibly licensed product in big cities, but you could remove the licensing with a seam ripper and a patient and careful hand. I got a glass screen protector , it comes with 2 and I got this small case to basically protect it around the house. They have larger small cases that carry more than just the switch, there is also a Zelda themed case and as of right now Walmart has it on sale for the physical copy of the game.
Maybe the Nintendo Switch Backpack?
Nice! I keep my Vita, 3DS and Switch in the Elite Player Backpack: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Elite-Player-Backpack/dp/B01MS7DVLT
Just buy a carrying case or a bag depending on how much stuff you want to put in the case/bag there are many on amazon.

I appreciate the response!
Well they do sell one
I really like this. It reminds me of an old gameboy messenger bag I stole from my dad
I have a butterfox too and it's great for a small travel case (enough for the Switch, games, power adapter, and even a second controller/set of joycons), but it would not fit this person's need - no way to fit the dock in there, and you're not fitting BOTH the joycon grip AND a Pro controller in there either.
For OP, there's a messenger bag style too:
https://www.amazon.com/Everywhere-Messenger-Bag-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01N22YAIP
Might have trouble with both the joy con grip and the Pro Controller, but you can probably make it work.
If you like the Pelican case style that fntigre posted, I think this is a better match for both grip and ProCon:
https://www.amazon.com/Switch-Controller-Nintendo-Carrying-Zadii/dp/B074JFY4JF
This messenger bag looks like a pretty good set - it includes a portable case for the switch itself, too.
I am not sure about that one, but I recently bought the messenger bag and it is amazing. Here is the link:https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Switch-Everywhere-Messenger-Bag/dp/B01N22YAIP/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1499354774&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=nintendo+switch+messenger+bag
There's no real way to hook it up to a screen/projector without the dock, you're going to need to bring the full setup. If you're interested though, there's a messenger bag you can get that holds the dock, cables, Switch, and all that.
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Everywhere-Messenger-Bag/dp/B01N22YAIP/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1486929826&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Nintendo+switch+carrying+bag
There is a messenger bag: https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Everywhere-Messenger-Bag-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01N22YAIP , but I'm holding out to see what this backpack looks like. I don't understand why the makers would not want to share what it looks like inside, just knowing that would probably sell so many people on it.
It's a Nintendo Switch specific messenger bag
I picked up the messenger bag, this way I have my arm sitting over it while walking. I trust no one.

Have you looked at this one ? I think you could fit your ipad in with it, but not sure if it'd be too snug or not.
This one seems like it hold both a switch and a mac at the same time, so it'd probably be big enough for what you're looking for
I have long been fed up with not having a bag that accommodates all of my stuff... Until recently when I just gave up on having a small bag and leaned all the way in and got a messenger bag.
https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Everywhere-Messenger-Bag-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01N22YAIP/
It holds a new infusion site, a new sensor for my cgm, my transmitter charger for the cgm, the insertion devices for my sites and glucose sensors, my glucose meter for calibrations, spare lancets and a backup syringe, my reading glasses, a week's worth of my oral medications (not all diabetes related), alcohol/skin prep wipes, cgm sensor tapes, spare batteries for my pump/transmitter charger, two spare batteries for my phone/switch/tablet, cables to charge my phone/switch/tablet, my Switch/tablet, wall charger for phone/tablet/switch, earbuds, and when needed there is space available for insulin (I mostly keep that in a fridge though and my phone could go in the bag but it's usually in my pocket.)
In all, I only need to grab my insulin and my bag and I'm set for a week without needing to get back to home base for a refill on anything and I can treat anything on the go in my day to day without worry should anything accidental come along.
I got the PowerA Switch Everywhere Messenger Bag off of Amazon. $40, and it's a little big, but lots of space for all accessories, and another hard case inside for the Switch w/ attached joycons for extra protection. It's a murse, but I'm liking it so far.
My thoughts exactly. When Amazon first put up some of the PowerA accessories the prices were wayy too low, $26 for the 4x charger thing, when it's supposed to be $40 was great and also I got this in the mail yesterday
It's a reallly nice Switch case that holds everything including the Dock. They want $52.99 for it now but when it first went up it was $32ish and the final price ended up being $29.09 for it with another credit.
It pays sometimes to be impulsive and just pre-order anything you might want as you can always cancel later... Problem with that sometimes is I forget what I pre-ordered and don't remember until I get the shipping notice, hahaha.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N22YAIP/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
It fits everything very nicely for me, including game case, extra set of joycons, pro controller, etc.
I liked the most Nintendo Switch case by Younik. It seems to be very strong and has a lot of space for other staff (you can fit 19 game cartridges).
The only problem is that it is a little bulkier than other cases and it barely fits into my Everywhere Messenger Bag.

Of note, if you get the standalone Red and Blue Joycons they are the OPPOSITE Joycons that are included with the Neon Switch, so you can have one Fully Red Switch and one Fully Blue Switch.
See how they are opposites?

Nope, the joy-con packs you buy separately are reversed. See here.
They do sell red/red, blue/blue, and red/blue JoyCon sets. The red/blue set is even the opposite of the blue/red Switch console, so if you got that console and that set you can choose any red/blue combination. Example: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Neon-Neon-Blue/dp/B01N6QJ58Y
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Neon-Neon-Blue/dp/B01N6QJ58Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1487638301&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=nintendo+switch+joy+con
does it?
MSRP for two Joy Cons is $80, not $90, and it's pretty common to find them with a 10-15% discount. $70 is still a lot though.
They did do that actually, the neon set is the opposite of what comes with the console. Here.
Amazon also has some colors at 79.99. I assume they matched the promo https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01N6QJ58Y/?coliid=I3D92GNIZ6RRMR&colid=22F1ONBLV6S45&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1

I saw that they're selling the red and blue joy cons as a set. https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Neon-Neon-Blue/dp/B01N6QJ58Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1488137168&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=joy+con
Amazon has the neon red-blue for msrp right now. You can also order the double red or Grey but they'll take longer to ship.

If it's the same as American voltages up in the Canada, it's 120v.
Ireland, and the UK use 220v
Did you buy the Switch new? Looked up a couple things and it definitely should be same as the US version from what I’m seeing. Here is a link to the charger with pics on Amazon that should have came in the box. https://www.amazon.ca/Nintendo-HACAADHGA-Switch-AC-Adapter/dp/B01N7RUZ49/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=switch+charger&amp;qid=1562165324&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-3
For the 110/240 issue, that's a tough one. I'd assume the one that the switch comes with will be localized, and if the label on it says 110/240, you'll be fine ordering any adapter.
Like this one!
www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-AC-Adapter/dp/B01N7RUZ49
If it says only one or the other, you'll need to be more careful and make sure you get the right one.
Edit: clarification about 110/240
Not sure how many accessories, etc we can link here... but here's the official US adapter: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-AC-Adapter/dp/B01N7RUZ49
I'm also planning on trying to use my wall charger from my Nexus Pixel C.
EDIT: Hypothetically, based on this being officially licensed, you should also be able to use any 5v charger: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Speed-Charger-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01MZAUPD6/ref=pd_sbs_63_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=5JYPE68GCX24P1YCKW65
Only one, you can get another here
Nintendo Switch AC Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7RUZ49/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_BioZBb7JDHSD4
The AC plug will likely be the European one. You may need to buy a US Adaptor or a travel adaptor
Just buy the OEM one.
Yes.
looks pretty clear from the product listings that it is a brick with an unremovable cord
Edit: the box comes with one of these. So if you plan to leave that set up by your TV I would plan on getting another for travel/on-the-go

I'm going to express a bit of an unpopular opinion too. I don't have any amibos, and I don't care about rumble, so, I bought the Hori Wired Controller (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NAUATSM/) when I bought the switch.
I've been totally thrilled with it while docked gaming (it can only really be used while docked, unlike the Pro) and the money I saved paid for another game.

Keep in mind these may not have all of the features of the Pro Controller, but they will work fine for Minecraft.
I think you can also get something to connect multiple other controllers to the Switch, but I don't know if it works.
I'm picking up a Switch soon and am thinking about getting a HORIPAD to use as a player 2 controller for games that require a full 2nd controller (like Lego Worlds).
I know the controller doesn't have NFC\Rumble\Motion, but I can't figure out if the lack of motion controls would make it unusable for a lot of games.
It's unlikely that Nintendo will add this, but...maybe!
But, you can get this controller for about $15-$20 and it does 2 levels of turbo and works really nicely to be honest.
If you’re looking for a cheap controller with a modern layout, you could try the Wired Pro Controller for the Switch. Only drawback is the triggers are either pressed or not pressed.
Example
Here you go!
Nintendo Switch HORIPAD Wired Controller Officially Licensed by Nintendo
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-HORIPAD-Controller-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NAUATSM
Official third-party alternatives don't include gyro, rumble, or NFC. I doubt that's the reason. Regardless, I'm in the mindset of Wii U accessories never working on Switch, and that's fine.
Well, in theory it might be possible with a Turbo Controller for PS/XBox (Including fighting sticks) and a Brook Adapter, but I cannot test that because I don't have any Brook Adapter.
That would work pretty well with a Turbo Fighting Stick because while you cannot move, you could just leave a book on the L & R buttons and let it do the job since the post-game menu is defaulted on Rematch.
Good thing is, with the Brook Wii U Adapter update, we do somewhat have access to this option, although it is not for everybody. The HORIPad that comes out this month will have turbo functions and will be cheaper, but I don't know if said function is confirmed to work for triggers.
If you're feeling like building something, you could also do that with an Arduino and two synchronized motors, with a little thingie on each to press on the L & R Buttons. If you sync that, that would work too as it would simulate a turbo press on those buttons. The main problem is to sync the two presses as well as keep the Joy-Con or Pro-Con stable in this system. This kind of things has been seen with, for instance, Ditto Hunting in Pokémon Sun & Moon, so that wouldn't be such a new idea.
Im getting my switch in about a week and a half, so i've started to look for accesories, and I think i need some help :P
Initially ill be getting Mario Kart, so im going to buy the official Joy Con Wheel x2 thing.
I was also going to buy a carrying case, and I saw this one, which looked nice.
The last thing I was going to buy for now was a screen protector, since i've heard they can get scratched easily when placing/removing the console from the dock, so I was thinking of buying this one. I also saw a Hori screen protector, but it has horrible reviews (Mostly complaining about it unsticking at the bottom of the switch because of the heat when being docked).
So, are these good choices or should I buy some other one instead?
Also, ill probably end up buying a controller, however, I find the pro controller to be too expensive, so I was thinking of buying the Hori one which is much more affordable, but is it any good? Are there any other good controllers? And I was looking at Hori stuff, so I stumbled upon the Playstand, and the game case. Are they worth buying?
&nbsp;
Sorry if this comment is too big, im very hyped for the Switch, and I dont want to ruin my experience with bad accesories =)
&nbsp;
EDIT: I forgot to ask, Is a big SD Card worth it? How much space would you recommend if it is?
The Horipad controller is decently made.

https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-HORIPAD-Controller-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NAUATSM
EDIT: Immediately realized it was wired. Still good controller, though.
Can anyone give me their opinions on the Horipad ? I only want it for whenever friends or family come over to my house so we can play MK8 and this is the cheapest option I've found. Oh, and since it is wired, is there anyway to use it in tabletop mode? Maybe with an adapter or something?
If you don't mind playing wired, the HORIPAD is an awesome value. That's what I ended up going with after getting a Pro Controller. However, the HORIPAD is so comfy, sometimes I use it instead of the Pro Controller, especially with how much better its D-pad is. I have certain friends that are really rough on my controllers as well, so it's a perfect one to hand them.

I need a thin mechanical keyboard for travel. My laptop switches do not have much travel distance so it hurts my fingers. I would like to keep it under $100 but I can go a little higher if it exceeds anything under 100.
I was thinking about a HAVIT thin keyboard but the travel distance seems small. Does anyone have experience with this keyboard?
XDA/DSA will only go so far. I'm assuming you don't want to go with custom QMK stuff (but you should, ergonomics is important).
Give this a look.
https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Extra-Thin-Switches-Rollover/dp/B0722GG88M?th=1&amp;psc=1
What about this one? It's got Kailh's low profile switches. They're clicky though (don't know if there are any keyboards with Kailh's low profile tactile/linear switches), so if noise is a concern, that's something to keep in mind.
Similar to the surface keyboard (for mechanical switches) would be the dareu and havit kailh low-profile switch keyboards, which come in linear red switches or clicky blue.

I'm looking at Havit but I want Red Switches not Blue.
https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Extra-Thin-Switches-Rollover/dp/B0722GG88M You will not be able to swap caps, but that will be the closest to scissor switches.
&#x200B;
Rubber domes, and even scissor switches are a type of rubber dome, have a tactile feeling at the start of your press. Browns are probably closer in feel, but have a lot more travel than any scissor switch. You can buy a Coolermaster Masterkeys S PBT within budget off Amazon, then buy some nice caps, but the feel will be different from a laptop keyboard. Many of us get a second keyboard just to use with our laptops just so we do not have to use the laptop keyboard. An Anne Pro 2 is a pretty good wireless model.

Havit, highly recommended: https://smile.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Extra-Thin-Switches-Rollover/dp/B0722GG88M/
Also Hexgears X1: https://kono.store/collections/all-products-list/products/hexgears-x-1-mechanical-keyboard
Hmmm, I would have preferred to see some Gateron slim switches. But I guess we'll see if these TTC ones are any good. I prefer the flat keycaps to the ones on the HAVIT keyboard. Although I'm making a guess that the Kailh switches will be better.
I have one and honestly I don't really care for it. The keys feel sort of "wobbly" and make a hollow sound when I press them.
I have a Havit low profile mech (https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Extra-Thin-Switches-Rollover/dp/B0722GG88M) that feels much better, though it obviously doesn't reach feature parity with the Keychron. That's one area in which the Keychron has just about everyone beat -- Bluetooth, Cabled, Windows MacOS, it's very flexible. It's a very visually attractive keyboard as well, IMO
Like others mentioned, it doesn’t necessarily matter. A lot of it is personal preference.
I would generally recommend a mechanical keyboard of some kind over a membrane- they tend to be a lot more accurate in their actuations. As far as specifics go, there’s a number of amazing options, including building your own...
That being said, my personal favorite keyboard, by far, is Havit Low Profile board- it’s not as customizable as a Cherry style switch, but it’s the most accurate, consistent, and easy to use keyboard I’ve ever touched. It’s also half the price of a Ducky or similar style board (which are excellent boards as well, at least most of them.) The actuation point is incredibly small, and I’ve never once had an issue with ghosting, no matter how quickly I’m pressing.
HAVIT Mech Keyboard](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0722GG88M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_4XTODbGTV8HN0)
Havit makes one that uses Kailh Low Profile switches. They're mechanical, but different in design: link . It has flip out feet if you want a bit more height. Keep in mind you most likely won't be able to change out the keycaps if you want to. The one I linked is the one I purchased for myself. It uses clicky switches and is very low profile. I don't know about the others.
try kalih low profile https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Extra-Thin-Switches-HV-KB390L/dp/B0722GG88M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1521608530&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=low+profile+mechanical+keyboard&amp;dpID=51sQonxYtHL&amp;preST=_SY300_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch
Havit HV-KB390L
This or this
And any custom build you can think of.
Another company called Havit does. The keyfeel is almost exactly the same. Here's a link:
https://www.amazon.ca/Mechanical-Keyboard-Backlit-Extra-Thin-Switches/dp/B0722GG88M/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1527474736&sr=8-3&keywords=low+profile+mechanical+keyboard
Are there any split mechanical keyboards out there with low profile switches? I currently have this keyboard with Kailh low-profile blues:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0722GG88M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I like it due to the low profile switches, but I would prefer to have a split keyboard for the ergonomics. I've looked at some but they all seem to have regular-profile switches.
My holy grail would probably be:
Does this exist?
If you enjoy using a pad and wanna switch it up you can try and get one of these. I have no experience with these in particular, however I have heard very good things about the hori fc4.
Practice and take breaks often. Your brain needs time to digest what it just learned. With time, it'll come naturally. I like to compare it to MMO's in a way. The same way you would grind for gear or whatever, you grind your combos until your really proficient at it. Eventually you'll get so good that even new characters will be a quick learning experience (execution wise, not footsie wise).
Don't let anyone tell you you can't do it on a controller. I can name like 10 pro's of the top of my head that prove that wrong.
I do however, recommend a controller with all the buttons on the face like this one
But it's not necessary. Use whatever you're comfortable with.
Check something like Amazon out, and search for "hori" and see what pops up. I hear the FC4 has a track record, check it out http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1457896848&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=hori

For anyone looking for a ps4 pad to play with or use for dual modding, the Hori FC4 is down to 35 bucks on amazon: Link.
Link to my original post
I guess that even though the post was getting upvotes, as it is a thing one needs to play Street Fighter games at a price that people would surely like to know about, the mods determined it be relegated to the daily thread where it may fall through the cracks for some readers. Ah well. Hopefully anyone interested in a useful deal will happen to see this in the next eleven hours.
Hope the mods will consider allowing people to post peripheral deals in the future, as I don't think they come by often enough to clog the main feed. Just my opinion, of course.
Xbox One or PC? With reference to the MKX pad, I'm assuming Xbox One. If PC, the Hori Fighting Commander 4 is the one to beat:
HORI Fighting Commander 4 Controller for PlayStation 4/3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TKLFES8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_QBkzyb4XM5CQ8
As far as Fight Sticks go, it's hard to beat anything Hori for price and the Hayabusa Stick and Kuro buttons are truly great:
HORI Real Arcade Pro.V Kai Fighting Stick for Xbox One, Xbox 360, & Windows PC https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0136JP894/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_JDkzybZXA69JS
If you're a fan of Sanwa Denshi parts instead, I personally bought an old, MadCatz Tournament Xbox 360 fight stick on Craigslist for $60 (may be able to find some for less) and installed the Brooks Universal PCB in it. Most of the installation is insanely easy unless you choose to solder the present USB cable to the board like I did. Since this PCB is Universal, it works on all platforms (save Wii U):
https://www.focusattack.com/brook-universal-fighting-board/
Hope this helps!
It's okay. I sometimes fuck myself up by hitting the middle of button of the DS Pad (cause I fat finger it), but other than that it's just like any other pad. I'm hoping they port PS3 TE sticks for the PS4 SF5, but I'm not holding my breath. PS: Battery life blows on the DS4.
For setting it up at events, it's not complicated as long as people disconnect the DS4 that they connected. Pretty much someone else can make it super complicated for everyone else.
Edit: If you're looking for a alternative pad you could maybe look into something like this http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Fighting-Commander-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B00TKLFES8/
It was on sale the other day for $29, so you could either get it asap or wait for it to go on sale again.
Try a hori fighting commander. Great pad designed for fighters.

You probably havent been able to find any because there are not many out there. I think third party controller makers are having a hard time getting around the DS4 touch pad functionality.
Ok so if they are using the Brook USB converter then in theory you could also make use of their model that converts PS3/PS4 peripherals to the xbox one. I know that the PS4 has a decent flight stick available:

Someone with more money than me should test this out so we can all jump on the HOTAS bandwagon.
Might I suggest you instead consider the Thrustmaster Hotas T.Flight 4, which is essentially the same as the older X model but with a tighter dead zone and upgradable firmware.
It's about $8 more than the Hotas X, but newer, better dead zone, upgradable firmware, still under $50, and has the great reputation of the Hotas X behind it too. And it works great with Elite. Here's a reddit thread on the detailed differences between the two joysticks.
Might get this for it....

What do I use instead of the pedals? I really want to get pedals for it, but they are apparently hard to find and more expensive than the HOTAS4 for some reason. So I'm really curious on
Thanks in advance anyone who can answer this for me!
This probably is the cheapest HOTAS you could get: https://www.amazon.in/dp/B015PJ68BK
I've used the old PS3 version of this. Pretty good. Throttle wasn't that great though. It had an annoying notch right at the middle which meant precise adjustments weren't easy. Not sure if the newer version changed it.
just you wait. you may be interested in getting a /r/hotas setup to play warthunder (Free+paid DLC), DCS (also Free+paid DLC), elite: dangerous($30), star citizen ($45), mechwarrior 4 (free), star fighter arduxim ($5), or vector 36 ($25). all great games to play with a set up. You can get an entry level one for $60 (Thrustmaster HOTAS 4 is your best bang/buck/skill) The feeling of using a physical throttle and joystick to fly and turn make my greatest experiences in VR.
I don't have a HOTAS, but from lurking on the forums/doing some research,) the Thrustmaster HOTAS 4 is the only one to work on the PS4.
I've never used it, but there is a HOTAS that is compatible/made for the PS4. There's one game that uses it right now. It'll be up to Frontier if the want to design the game to use joystick support.
Flight stick
I had a gift card for Amazon so I ended up getting this
https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-T-Flight-Hotas-Flight-playstation-4/dp/B015PJ68BK
It snaps apart so I could always move it around or whatever. Everything is right handed apparently any way. And I didn't want to get a refurbished or used 3D pro. Plus I also have a PS4 so if anything ever comes out for it, I'll have compatibility. The PS4 is better than my computer so here's to hoping.
I did a quick google search:
https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-T-Flight-Hotas-Flight-playstation-4/dp/B015PJ68BK

This is a good starter flight stick that actually works amazingly well.
Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS 4
Thrustmaster just released another HOTAS set that is getting pretty good reviews. There used to be a huge gap between the $50 and $200 segment. Any HOTAS within that range were too expensive and too crappy to even consider. So for anyone who wanted something a little more versatile had to make the huge jump to something in the hundreds of dollars. Thrustmaster seems to have fixed that.

Past this, I personally would recommend CH Products. Pretty pricey and, honestly, not much to look at. But what you really pay for is absolute durability, longevity, and versatility. CH Products has been building HOTAS systems for decades now, and there's people who still have their original sticks and throttles, but just rewired the old joystick ports to USB, and they still friggin' work. I have the Fighterstick USB, and the Pro Throttle USB.
Just bought the ps4 one at best buy today

The hotas x seems to be the more popular option but one of the reviews on the ps4 one said there was more degrees of freedom for movement. I haven't used it yet but I'm sure you can't go wrong with the cheaper stick.
The link to purchase a ps4 digital code is here.
To everyone salty about the $40 on PC price tag:
It's only $40 on BLIZZARD'S OWN STORE. Everywhere else it's $60. This is because no one else is taking a cut of the sale when it's sold on Blizzard's own store.
If people want to be mad about it, be mad at Sony/Microsoft/Amazon for taking such a MASSIVE cut of every sale. BTW, the cut is likely more than $20.
You can order the origins edition off Amazon w/20% Off, just create a trial account and order it.
Because your in Indonesia this advice might not apply too you, but I'll share it just in case.
If you have amazon prime you can get Overwatch Origin for $47.99. So it's only $8 more than if the basic version. For $8 you can't beat all the extras.
Amazon Prime: Overwatch Origin
If you can't do that. I don't think paying $20 more, for in your case, just one skin would be worth it to get Origin. So just go with basic.
Normally I wait for a price drop on games, but this is the first game in a long time I just went ahead and bought it. It takes a really long time before you see price drops on Blizzard stuff. And the amount of fun I think I'll get from this game is well worth the cost.
Hope that helps!
Well if you have the money for it

They have COD.
Yes there are. Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop from a few quick searches.
Also, this announcement isn't PC-only, it's all copies of the game.
> It goes both ways... Console users et to pay $60 for Overwatch while you guys pay $40.
I know it might have been on sale while you saw it...but this seems to be a bit different from what you're saying
Origins Edition has been $20 off for a few days for all platforms.
You can get a Visa gift card from pretty much any retail store, but depending on the store it can be difficult to buy if you're under 18 (can be used for money laundering, so lots of places ID). It also usually has a ~$3 activation fee. You can also try finding a Battlenet gift card, or even an Amazon gift card, which you can use to get Overwatch origins.
Overwatch Origins Edition is currently $39.99 on Amazon right now, which is the same price as the standard edition on Battle.net. You'll get some extra skins and it's a physical copy.
If anyone is looking for a good deal on a last-minute preorder, Amazon has the Origins edition for $49 ($48 for Prime members).
Overwatch counts.

So I want a mechanical keyboard for a mac but I don't know squat about this other than:
a. these keyboards look and feel great.
b. there are different types of switches.
Would this or this be a good beginner keyboard? Could I eventually replace the switches with these 3D-resin-coated switches that I often see posted here?
I've also seen some beautiful keyboards with wood-grain and the likes; how does one go about aquiring that?
https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-MasterKeys-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B01D3BDN60/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
I didn't see the question at first, but $140ish is reasonable for a $1500 computer.

Waiting on a custom cable from Zapcables and a couple of artisans to finish it off.
Coolermaster Masterkeys Pro L RGB. In my opinion, it's currently the best RGB mechanical keyboard on the market.
I would check out the monoprice keyboard - https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13858 I don't have any experience with it personally but it's a good price. The RGB colors are not changeable and you can't do fancy lighting features (not sure if that matters to you.) It has blue and red switches available.
This Gskill might be another decent option, better options and more switch options but more expensive - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823828020&amp;cm_re=rgb_keyboard-_-23-828-020-_-Product
The G910 has AWESOME RGB lighting - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126489&amp;cm_re=rgb_keyboard-_-23-126-489-_-Product
the build quality is pretty plasticky and you may not like the romer G switches.
Personally I use a coolermaster masterkeys - https://www.amazon.com/MasterKeys-Mechanical-Keyboard-Intelligent-Switches/dp/B01D3BDN60
I have the ten keyless but it's a solid keyboard with nice software features, but a little pricier. You may also want to check out the Corsair keyboards in this price range.
The Masterkeys Pro L is on sale for $135 right now. I have a Pro S (the tenkeyless version) and it works wonderfully. If you don't care about RGB there's a cheaper one with white LEDs as well.
People on this sub tend to not recommend Corsair and Logitech boards because of their nonstandard bottom row (it's harder to get custom keycap sets for them) as well as the lighting being tied to software (which sounds good in theory, but they're usually really buggy and overly complex). If you really particularly like their features then go for it; they're certainly not bad at all.
I'm a bit uneducated when it comes to keyboards. I decided on this one
https://www.amazon.com/MasterKeys-Mechanical-Keyboard-Intelligent-Switches/dp/B01D3BDN60
This is a better option if you want something more easily customizable, since the Corsair doesn't have a standard bottom row.
This is a great deal, one of its better prices I can see.
This one dropped in price because the large full-size one dropped down to $120 a week ago. Both are great keyboards, but if you prefer a numpad for whatever reason you can get that one on sale, too...
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D3BDN60/
Both are Cherry MX Brown, the other switches aren't on sale. For the small version, the Blue is down to $98, which is a decent low for it.
Sad to say but Razer is actually synonymous with BAD quality. They're overpriced for what they offer and they're quality control is abysmal.
With a budget of $300, you can basically get any of the prebuilt off the shelf keyboards.
What kind of size are you looking for? The keyboards are classified by the amount of keys they possess.
Let's start at the beginning. You're surely used to the fullsize keyboard with numpad and everything. Examples: CM Masterkeys Pro L or Ducky Shine 5
Do you feel like you want the numpad but want a smaller board? You can go with a TK (ten key) or a 96 key layout (these are not the same). CM Masterkeys Pro M or RS96
Do you want to drop the numpad? You'll have a huge pick from the amount of TKL (ten keyless) boards or a 75% layout (again, these are not the same). MK Disco or Ducky One
Find that you don't use the nav cluster or the function row that much? You can get a 60% or 65% keyboard. Pok3r or Leopold FC660M
Do note that any of the missing keys can be found on layers (which means you press the function key to access them, only one additional keypress for much more compactness)
You can go even smaller by dropping the number row and getting a 30% or 40% keyboard. MiniVan or Planck
Then there are the split keyboards that you can buy or build. The Mistel Barocco or the Ergodox EZ are some options if you want some
G403 gets my vote

An overlooked part of the equation is a mouse pad. The joke about tryhards buying giant mousepads is not unfounded. Lower sensitivity is a good idea in most games and with a small mouse pad you'll find yourself running out of room too often. Buy a giant Steel Series QCK mousepad IMO.
Other than that buy something with the tried and true MX switches. Razer has gone to their own proprietary switch and there's nothing to suggest they're better and everything to suggest it was a cost cutting measure. Reds or browns are going to be best for FPS games IMO. Tenkeyless will allow you to better accommodate the giant mouse pad and not have your left arm/hand in an uncomfortable spot.
Mice are much more subjective. Figure out how you grip the mouse (palm/claw/fingertip) and start looking based off that. Laser vs. optical is a contested topic and in general you probably won't find a huge difference. The Logitech G Pro (https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Gaming-Advanced-Sensor-Competitive/dp/B01JPOLLTK) is generally regarded as having a top tier sensor and is reasonably priced. That's what I would buy if I had to buy a new mouse today.

Changed my work life + at home with being able to set macros, I literally bring it everywhere with me in my backpack.

Some recommendations.
Ambidextrous mouses
Dream Machines DM1 FPS - Have heard good things about these mouses. Haven't used one personally but would not be against one if I was looking to try something different than what I already have.
Zowie FK series - Difference between the FK1, FK1+ and FK2 are just size.
Logitech G Pro - Personally I prefer the original over the new version with the Hero sensor because I like the PMW3366 better than the Hero16K but most people state they can't notice the difference. Also, original is pretty cheap right now.
Ergonomic mouses
Zowie EC series - Users report having issues with the scroll wheels on the B models (EC1-B,EC2-B) but that seems to be hit or miss. I have an EC2-B that I love and have no issues with. The B models have a newer sensor than the A models. B models have the PMW3360 sensor.
Logitech G403 - Great sensor (PMW3366) and fairly light at just over 87 grams.
You will probably notice these are some of the most popular mouses on this subreddit, haha. Take my recommendations with a grain of salt and do your own research as well. Hope this helped in any way!
My suggestion is the Logitech G305 for $10 over your budget, but it's got the best wireless sensor on the market. It isn't gamerized by any means and you can add macros to the side buttons if that's what you want. I really like the scroll wheel as well, it's rubberized and textured with distinct steps that aren't too tactile.
For a cheaper wired version, the Logitech G203 is the same mouse only it's using the gold-standard wired sensor. It has RGB, but you can turn it off. Other than that, it has the exact same features and shape.
A friend of mine bought the CM Devastator, but that was like 3 years ago and I don't remember what the mouse felt like(if the scroll wheel was mushy in comparison), but either of these are a lot better.
Granted, I'm using a G Pro which is yet another of the same style, it's just a little older and more expensive than the G203.
So when it comes to buying a mouse it is really all about your play style and feel. If you like to palm the mouse meaning that your whole hand is round the mouse a good mouse is the Razer Deathadder If you like the claw grip using mostly only your finger tips than I would recommend the Logitech G Pro I personally now use this mouse but used the Deathadder for a number of years. Both mice have over a 12,000 dpi setting once you install the software you can adjust as you please, but tbh most likely you will play between 200-900 dpi and 1.2-3.2 sensitivity in game. All of this is preference and you will figure out over a long period of time playing key board again is all preference it depends if you like silent of mechanical Razer Cynosa is a very nice silent one in your price range, for mechanical I have owned a lot of them and tbh the one I use is a off brand one I bought from my local Walmart and and I like it more than any high dollar ones I have owned so you might want to look there. Also you will need a nice mouse pad I have and will probably continue to use for years the razer goliaths speed it is cloth and I like it, there are also hard pads many people I know use and enjoy the Corsait MM8800 but again this is all up to preference. Last thing if you are trying to play at any high lvl of competition you might want to look into a 144hz monitor if your computer can run what ever game you are playing over about 200fps I have Acer 24inch 144hz the price is really good and makes a huge difference. well that is about all I can think about I wish you the best of luck and above all just have fun.
&#x200B;
$35 Logitech G Prosold out$35 WIRELESS G403There is no correct sensitivity when it comes to playing a certain hero or playstyle. It's all personal preference and how much practice you have put into the hero and game. I have known players who are very good at aiming with both extremely high and low sensitivities. Of course, if you are setting your sensitivity for the first time like you just picked up a mouse, I would say set it to where a full span across your mousepad will do a 360. (With no acceleration. Make sure you turn that off. If your mouse has that on automatically, get a new one.) From there, you have to test yourself to see if you are over/undershooting, or you think it just feels incorrect. In the case where you have a small mousepad and bad mouse. Investing in a good mouse would probably be worth the money. You can find the best mouse for your handshape and grip which will probably turn up the best results. (RJN has a good website for easily finding it.) Or, if you are on a budget, there are nice mice which you can find for about $50 - assuming you are in the USA or can order from amazon easily. (Here a few options. Razer Deathadder, CORSAIR Harpoon, Logitech G Pro, one of my favourite mice, seriously.) If your mousepad feels like a problem, you can get one that fits your whole desk lengthwise. You don't have to get a big name brand or anything, just one that has decent quality.
Good luck with your games.
I would find a good mouse you like, so you aren't using a touch pad. I highly recommend the new logitech mice that have their new sensor. I personally have never used a mouse with a better sensor. Any of these three mice are good. I recommend the logitech g pro if you don't know what preference in style you have for your mouse. It's pretty close to what you would be use to in standard mice.

Make sure you download steam for all your gaming needs. There are alternatives, but since you are newer to PC I highly recommend using steam as your main platform. Also they are having an awesome winter sale right now! Perfect time to pick up games at super cheap.
http://store.steampowered.com/
I highly recommend turning off "enhanced pointer precision" which is normally turned on by default on windows machines.
http://www.thewindowsclub.com/enhance-pointer-precision-windows
I would also ensure that your computer is using the "balanced" power save option.

I recommend getting good, preferably free, anti-virus. Everyone has their own preferences. I use Avast. Just avoid McAfee.

Picking up a new browser, so you don't use internet explorer, is a good idea. I recommend google chrome because it has enough built in features where you don't need to be "in the know" to get what you need out of it.
https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html?brand=CHBD&amp;gclid=CjwKEAiA1vjCBRDd-9q3w4OF6WUSJACWv_sVbfPzq9MQuEXf_fjyvJqASfE7B5R_9B7d6mLscUpprxoCj8Xw_wcB&amp;dclid=CN360ufXjtECFZFFAQodU78Etw
If you do pick up google chrome, you should pick up an add blocker for it as well. Blocks advertisements everywhere and stops you from having to watch advertisements at the beginning of youtube videos.

And to wrap it up I'd download the battle.net launcher from blizzard. Blizzard has lots of very good games, like overwatch, hearthstone, wow, etc.
http://us.battle.net/en/app/
I personally use a program called f.lux which makes your monitor more friendly for your eyes at night. It makes it easier to fall asleep after being on your PC late at night. I highly recommend using this if you game at night.

Now just find some games you want to play. Here are some of the most popular games on PC(based on players playing the game at the moment). That I would recommend. Everyone has their own preferences, and sorry if I'm explaining this like you know nothing. I'm not sure what information you are looking for exactly or your knowledge level.
Battle Net Games
Overwatch(Multiplayer PVP focus - fantastic FPS highly recommend)
Hearthstone(free to play card game - if you like trading card games play this!)
Steam Games
Skyrim(Single Player)
Witcher(Single Player)
Total War: WARHAMMER(Strategy Game)
Civilization 6(Strategy Game)
Terraria(2d Minecraft)
Paladins(PVP Free to play game)
Path Of Exile(Free to play Diablo2 like game)
Rust(Multiplayer Survival game)
Ark(Multiplayer dinosaur survival game)
Stardew Valley(Top down run your own farm RPG game, think Harvest Moon)
Dark Souls 1,2,3(Hardcore mostly singleplayer action RPG)
War Thunder(Free to play WW2 plane/tank PVP game, multiplayer)
Binding of Isaac: Rebirth(roguelike, top down like old zelda games - highly recommend this game)
Cities: Skylines(better version of Sim city)
Rainbow Six Siege( tactical FPS pvp, multiplayer)
Stand Alone Games That Don't Use A Launcher
Minecraft
League Of Legends
League Of Legends is one of the most played games in the world, competing against overwatch. It is called a MOBA, you've probably heard of it, and it's at least worth checking out if you have a friend to play with.
edit: Also finding a headset is very important, I always point to HyperX headsets if you need a microphone to talk to people. They are comfortable, sound good, and won't break the bank. If you don't need a mic just pick up a nice pair of sennheiser headphones. Also sorry for any grammar issues and just the wall of text. I just started typing and kept going. If you have any questions feel free to ask, hope you like your pc!
Here is the Amazon link for the said page.
Well actually, there will be a new bundle on Aug 7th, if this Amazon page is telling the truth.
Awesome, thanks for the info. If I wanted to buy an Oculus soon and have it be fully functional, would I need to buy any additional pieces of hardware or would this bundle include everything?
Amazon is still showing 399 for me:

Thanks for the reply. It looks like they're selling them here?
https://www.amazon.com.au/Oculus-Touch-Virtual-Reality-System/dp/B073X8N1YW/
Oculus touch bundle, very good value. You even get Robo Recall for free, which is a pretty decent VR shooter
Weird. A new Rift-Touch bundle on U.S. Amazon is $700, but that's only from one of those ridiculously overpriced 3rd party retailers and not from Amazon directly. It's not available otherwise unless you want to buy used.
Hmmm, I'm not seeing it here: https://smile.amazon.com/Oculus-Touch-Virtual-Reality-System-pc/dp/B073X8N1YW

A few questions as a TrackIR user, entertaining the possibility of getting a rift.
I have an i7 cpu and geforce 1070 card.
A) Will it work out of box to get above frame rate features? or is there special stuff I have to install and configure?
B) In the past I heard about fuzziness, crap resolution. Is this resolved? Can I use default settings in "ultra" or are there must have settings that won't be enabled by default ?
Bb) Also I've customized the FOV a little for my 27" monitor, is this something I need to set back to default ?
c) I have a HOTAS setup + keyboard ... I can obviously feel my way around the stick and throttle without using my eyes, but I often have to glance down at my keyboard for a few keys I have bound for special things... Is this basically impossible with VR? I'm not sure I can bind everything I need to the buttons on my HOTAS set-up.
d) will the base $399 system be enough? or do I need to buy a sensor accessory for head tracking?
e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Oculus-Touch-Virtual-Reality-System-pc/dp/B073X8N1YW/
Those headsets have only been out for a month so it's too soon to say. They only just started Steam VR's beta for them yesterday. When supports for them becomes official it'll be listed on the game's update page(currently it only lists the Rift and HTC Vive.)
As for price, as of this writing the Rift is $399, the Vive is $599 and the Windows HMDs are between $399 and $499.
There'll probably be a black friday sale for the Rift and Vive but not for the new Windows HMDs as they just came out. One of the VR subreddits might be able to give more insight as just how much they're compatible with current software. For example, some users have been able to make games that work for the Rift only and the Vive only work on the other system so it's not too much of a stretch if a user might've been able to make code to help the Window's HMD's compatability.

I wrote up a more or less spec sheet comparison between Rift & Vive for someone else the other day, and among other things it includes a video that does a good job at comparing SDE & effective resolution between Rift & Vive, but owing to the blown up zoomed in nature of the video, it isn't representative of what you actually see inside the headset.
Simply put, yeah, it's there, it's noticeable, moreso on Vive than Rift, but once you get into the immersion of the experience it fades into background noise.
Also, Rift is currently on sale for $350 on Amazon and Best Buy.
Is this what you suggest?

I just bought a Vive on Amazon yesterday for $499+tax.
Vive & Rift on Amazon.
People are saying to get the Deluxe Audio Strap for the Vive, which is $99.
ah.
Good for you for taking that time and doing the research. Amazon has it for $400, as does everyone else. Best Buy had it for about $25 cheaper a week or so ago (sorry) I pay for Amazon Prime and their process and return policy are great, so that's why i go there.
Get yourself hdmi and usb extension cables, you will ABSOLUTELY want these. (I really want it to be wireless but....)
Have a great time, I know you will
In fact, they do, you can order the rift there, but I dont know how warranty would work if you are unlucky to have any problem, that is why I did not order it yet, if they will not cover the warranty in Brazil it will be less expensive to just get one on MercadoLivre anyway.

From this page you can see they ship to Brazil.
Shipping & Fee Details
Price $499.00
AmazonGlobal Shipping + $82.54
Estimated Import Fees Deposit + $553.16
Total $1,134.70
This price, that includes everything even the importing fees, equals to R$3560,00, you can find it on MercadoLivre starting at R$3300(without warranty but you can pay in up to 12x, in amazon you need to pay all at once), you choose now.
Rift + touch ($399), 3rd sensor ($59.99). $460 for the pair, unless you meant the $350 I paid. I paid $350 because I bought it from a couple who won it at our company christmas party and had no interest in it, then bought another sensor. I believe it was on sale for $350 at one point (without 3rd sensor) but I think it was a christmas sale.
Yep, Rift + Touch is $399. Even the Vive (also includes controllers) is only $499 nowadays :) Leap Motion is really promising, but the field of view on their current gen sensor is pretty limiting. Really interesting to play with, but probably not that useful if you're making VR games yet. Also, I don't think their SDK works with Android, in case you're thinking of sticking it on one of the standalone headsets.

i'm well aware you can go into a store and get the rift and the touch controllers and cameras separately
The DK2 is trash, and is not worth the $90 you'd spend on it.
If you're looking for a cheaper headset, they aren't quite as solid IMO as the Vive or Oculus CV, but the windows mixed reality headsets are a MUCH better experience than the DK2 will give. A DK2 is going to be less good of a VR experience than using a cellphone VR setup, and might turn you off of VR entirely if you think it's going to be representative of the final experience. That said, given your GPU I'd hold off, upgrade your GPU and then see about getting a headset, otherwise you're not going to run things too well.

I've bought quite a few switch accessories.
I bought the Pro Controller.
Works great. Exactly as advertised.
The Nintendo Joy-Con, Neon Blue & Neon Red - Left and Right Edition.
Also works great.
HORI Officially Licensed Premium Protective Filter for Nintendo Switch .
This is not great. I find the edges of it are always peeling back especially along the bottom. However installation was easy.
Because of the above I've now bought:
Spigen Nintendo Switch Screen Protector Tempered Glass / 2 Pack / 9H Hardness for Nintendo Switch 2017
I have not used it yet so I cannot comment on its effectiveness.
I have also ordered the following:
HORI NSW-003U Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Charge Stand Officially Licensed
It was supposed to be released on April 12th according to Amazon and it still hasn't shipped and Amazon doesn't have any accurate information as to when they will receive stock.
I'm pretty sure that's it so far.
There a set that is opposite the neon Switch: https://www.amazon.ca/Joy-L-R-Neon-Blue-Red/dp/B01N6QJ58Y
They were on sale a while back. Great price for two: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Joy-Neon-Red-Blue-switch/dp/B01N6QJ58Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1539124687&sr=1-1&keywords=joycon&th=1
You can buy them though
It's in stock
https://www.amazon.ca/Nintendo-Joy-Neon-Blue-Red/dp/B01N6QJ58Y
EDIT: Woops, it's not sold by Amazon, but it's the same price and Prime (fulfilled by Amazon). It's still something!
There is a retail neon pack that is the opposite of the neon controllers that came with the Switch. If you get that pack you'll have a full red and full blue set.
But yes, buying a single blue would be the cheapest way.
They’re $68.77 on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6QJ58Y
Link for mixed set.
Despite the picture the first link you posted is just the red. There is a separate listing for one of each
Both:

Pretty retarded price point for an AC adapter though, gotta say.
I've heard that you can charge the Switch out of the dock via a USB-C adapter plug thing. Do I need to use the official Nintendo Switch AC Adapter, or am I safe using just my phone (HTC 10) wall adapter and any USB-C cable?
Planning to finally join you guys officially next week thanks to Target's 20% coupon and this sub and /r/NintendoSwitchDeals have been amazing for making sure I know and save as much money as possible as I hop on board.
sure but like i said i only have the dock itself for trade.

you would need to buy the adapter from a store.

Just get an amazon basics high speed HDMI cable. There is no reason to get a specific brand or anything of HDMI. The only thing that ultimately matters is if it is high speed or not - most nowadays are.

Based on the reviews, i would try this power cable:

Nintendo AC Adapter
So this should be enough to plug it in the EU Nintendo Switch and charge it normally without problems?
As I'm in the same situation, we will need to wait to the charger to arrive or wait for a Spanish person to show the charger.
We are hoping for a universal settings like (100 -240V 50-60Hz) as you can see in almost every laptop or phone charger.
if thats the case, it will work with this kind of [adapter]
(http://www.homedepot.com.mx/comprar/es/puebla-angelopolis/convertidor-europeo-redondo-a-plano)
If not, we will need to buy the official ac adapter
I ordered the official Nintendo Switch AC a few months before ever getting my iPad Pro. It’s always worked great for my Switch, but it works perfectly for my iPad. The charge speeds are awesome and I have no complaints.
I always trust the stuff made by the company
Just buy a second adapter:
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-AC-Adapter/dp/B01N7RUZ49/
But could they not just get the European equivalent of this?

Nintendo Switch AC Adapter https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01N7RUZ49/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_szU3DbMDB04RH
I mean it’s the official one, I think 25$ is not too bad
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-AC-Adapter/dp/B01N7RUZ49
If you're not confident enough to fix it yourself, I'd say go for a new one (they have them on Amazon for ~$27). I'd also recommend sticking to official Nintendo ones, since a lot of 3rd party accessories (primarily docks) have been bricking Switches (plus 1st party AC Adapters aren't hard to find, again, ~$27 on Amazon).
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-AC-Adapter/dp/B01N7RUZ49
Do you know if this would work with the dock?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N7RUZ49/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;psc=1
I had imagined this was for plugging directly into the console and the description seems to indicate the same. Some comments seem to indicate this can also be plugged into the dock. I have. $25 credit from a shark week promo that’s only valid on a select number of things, so I might grab a $40 dock if I can get the power adapter for $2 after my credit. I just want to make sure this is compatible with the dock first though and not just for plugging directly into the switch. I’ve heard too many horror stories of bricking consoles with 3rd party docks, but this power adapter and the dock should both be first party.
Wait, did he say you can play while charging with the included AC adapter? Does that mean I don't have to buy one of these?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N7RUZ49/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Yes and yes.
Power Adapter
Edit.. I can't read...This second one is USB, but is by Nyko. Dang it! I'll keep looking.
.
Or here... for USB... No date yet though
I keep hearing to "use the charger that came with your switch" but I can't get the exact one, so if I just buy a ac switch adapter like this one: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01N7RUZ49?pf_rd_p=46535598-d2e0-4bc4-8392-182d8c1e93fc&pf_rd_r=E28B4Z3AEMFB950XNBZR this will work just fine?
If you don't need the additional features like motion controls or haptic feedback, there's another officially licensed controller that costs less than half the price.
https://www.amazon.ca/Nintendo-Switch-HORIPAD-Wired-Controller/dp/B01NAUATSM
I was looking at the HORI pad Switch controller over the Pro controller due to pricing. I do not plan to invest into the amiibo scene or anything like that.
Does anyone own the Horipad controller? I'm considering picking up a second controller so I was torn between another set of joycons and a procontroller. Then I saw this was half the price.
I'm aware the horipad has no gyro or rumble but it would be used for co-op/multiplayer for games. Overcooked, MK, rocket league etc
If I got a pro controller I'd use it for multiplayer but would also use it myself for splatoon and future games since it has motion control and rumble, also the wireless functionality is appealing.
And the joy cons pro is that it would give me 4 controllers, although it's unlikely i'd need anymore than 3 at a time, and I'm digging the green/pink splatoon colours.
The joycons are comfortable for me to hold so ergonomics isn't a big factor for picking pro controller. Ultimately I'd probably be picking between the pro and hori
Just wondering what people would recommend.
There are only a few updates right out of the box, and they dont' take long at all. I didn't get my console on a big holiday, however, so depending on how many people are trying to connect to Nintendo's servers on Christmas, it might take significantly longer.
A screen protector is very nice to have. I haven't got one myself, but I plan on getting one. Until then, I'm just very careful when docking/undocking my console.
For accessories, it depends. If you travel a lot or on a regular basis, a traveling case is definitely worth it. I got this one, and it's great. It's a tad bigger than the one found on Nintendo's website (even though it is an official Nintendo product), and comes with two four-cartridge cases and two SD card cases.
Depending on what games he has, your son might also want a pro controller. I got the $70 one here, but there is a cheaper $30 option if you really want it (but personally I wouldn't recommend it). I primarily use my pro controller for MK8D and Splatoon 2.
The last major accessory you might want is an SD card. Depending on how many games he wants to download as opposed to using a physical copy, an SD card might be worth it. I think the best option is a microSDXC UHS-I card, but I don't remember. The size depends on how much money you can spend and how many games you wanna download. I wouldn't really go for anything below 64GB, but that's just me.
If it's the same Hori controller that I'm thinking of.
(From one of the reviews)
"Yes, the lower cost comes at the expense of losing wireless, NFC, motion, vibration, and being able to turn on your Switch without have to press the power button directly on it."
So, some Zelda puzzles are impossible but the rest of the games should be doable. (Haven't played Sonic Forces.)
Really depends on whether you need gyro controls and/or HD rumble. If you need either of those i would suggest just sticking to the joy-cons in the grip and save up for the pro controller. Otherwise, there are great wired options out there. Most notably the controllers from PowerA and HORI. Also personally I think the PowerA controller looks better than the pro controller but that's just my opinion.
If you play a lot of 2D games I'd recommend this controller. Probably the best 2D controller for the switch and has thumbsticks for 3D games.
I got the Hori Nintendo Switch controller for my Switch. It's only 20 bucks and for that it's really good. It's wired and has no rumble, so it's pretty light. It works with Windows (needs to be setup in Steam and might need a program to work in non-steam games).

If you're willing to pay more you can get the Xbox one controller for 40.

> wondering if you can plug the controller into the USB C charging port in the switch
You can plug in a wired controller into this port and it works fine. Fine as in fit for purpose, but not necessarily fit for use. You may want to look into the Hori stand that has an integrated USB hub.
I use this controller when I need a turbo button. It's well built and inexpensive. Keep in mind that it does not have motion controls or vibration.
I found that 2 Joy-Cons are the best investment I made for my Switch. Or you could buy two of those. I have one like that but I don't play often with it. I prefer the JoyCons. But the cable is pretty long.
If you're interested, there's a cheaper version of the pro controller offered by Hori and officially licensed by Nintendo up for pre-order. I think its drawbacks are that it doesn't have HD Rumble, and isn't wireless, but otherwise functions exactly the same.

I don't think they will release another Pokken specific one since they're coming out with the wired controller [link] already :( but with the release of Pokken Deluxe who knows, maybe we'll get a surprise.
I play fighters on pad and while I've not really played any on Switch, the Hori wired Pro Controller has a reversable D-pad and that looks to me like the one I'd prefer to use for fighters.

There is already Mario Kart, Minecraft, Puyo Puyo Tetris, Arms and a few other split-screen games. I'm sure there will be more to come. I have the joycons that came with the system and a Pro Controller so I can have 2-player split screen and 3-player if I really want to split the joycons into 2 controllers.
You can also look into the 8bitdo Pro Controllers which have all of the buttons of a Pro Controller but without motion control or rumble and they cost about half as much as a Pro Controller.
Hori is also releasing a Pro Controller at the end of this month also for $30 that doesn't have rumble or motion. If you are willing to sacrifice the tech that makes the Pro Controller so expensive, those both seem like great, inexpensive options.
Can anyone speak for the quality of HORI Switch HORIPAD controllers for PC gaming on Steam?

I fell in love with the Switch pro controller after going to a friend's house because of it's buttery smoothness. However, spending $80 Canadian loonies on a controller with so many features I don't need seems wasteful. I'm currently on an XBOX360 wired controller that works fine, but the shoulder and trigger buttons seem a bit too plastic-y for me nowadays.
I've read the reviews and I've done a search and found this thread, but there were no responses to it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hori has been putting out pretty good accessories for the Switch.

This is me and im using this to do it and joy2key
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-HORIPAD-Controller-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NAUATSM
Turbo FTW
My apologies. This one: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-HORIPAD-Controller-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NAUATSM
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hori-Nintendo-Controller-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NAUATSM yeah this thing
in that case i would say just get the pro controller... It's a great controller with a 'normal' design, and it has a D-pad, so wouldn't that solve the issue?
And the 'share the joy' (i like that tagline, haven't heard it before) feature is mainly only to be used when you are playing multiplayer with friends. I wouldn't expect anyone to use a single joy-con during a 1 player experience. Now if you were to put the D-Pad on there, it becomes less desirable as a solo controller...meanwhile not having the D-pad doesn't necessarily have any cons...no pun intended. But I guess that's just my personal opinion.
Edit: I guess the Pro controller would only be a solution when playing at home, but not on the go. Hori makes an interesting Switch controller, where the D-pad actually is removable and can be placed on the back of the controller for storage, so you can choose whether you want buttons or the D-pad: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-HORIPAD-Controller-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NAUATSM
Would be interesting if they could make a simple D-pad cover for the joy-con, that snaps over the buttons or something like that.
Just gonna go ahead and put this right here: nothing fancy no weird eBay or cL stuff; straight up amazon prices: also with the exception of the Yok brand wheels being subbed for the licensed Nintendo ones; this is all apples to apples
Amazon links and prices for everything brand new:
Switch - New $300 / used $255
NBA 2k18 - New $60 / Used $36
Mario Odyssey - New $49 / Used $40
Hori Gamepad - New $21 / Used $15
(can't find the wheel by brand so)Nintendo Steering Wheels 2 - New $15 / Used $12
Nyko Thin Case - New $10 / Used in color shown $28 on amazon
Hori Screen Protector - new $3.26 / used why buy a used screen protector
So yeah, that's about everything
Total for everything new: $459
Total for everything used: $372
I’m not saying you should sell it at $372 (not strongly anyway) just ya know, it’s maybe $20 for you to ship it, $390?
Hello,
I am currently looking to buy a new controller (currently using a DualShock 2 with and USB-Adapter).
While searching i came across this so I have three questions:
1. Is it any good?
2. Is it Windows compatible? (I have seen idications that it is but no confimations)
3. If it does not work, do you have any suggestions on what to get?
Thanks in advance for any awnsers.

Looking for recommendation for compact (tenkeyless) laptop-like gaming keyboard. Razer DeathStalker would've been perfect choice if it weren't so huge. Small Logitech keyboards are good, but I don't like them being wireless. Among mechanical, I've tried Blackwidow X Tournament Edition and Ornata - I'm getting my fingers stuck between the keys all the time (height difference compared to laptop keyboards).
Not quite sure about this one: https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Extra-Thin-Switches-HV-KB390L/dp/B0722GG88M/
Any advice would be highly appreciated.
There is this low profile HAVIT keyboard with kailhs low-profile blue switches, which feel and sound better than the usual "blue" switch imo
Logitechs mechs are not really good and not worth the money so you ought to avoid them. Their mice are great though.
For the keyboard, you have a ton of options. I personally like mechanical, so I have a somewhat portable mechanical one.
For a stand, I recommend Roost. There's a knockoff called NextStand, but it simply doesn't adjust as well and takes up more space.
Perhaps something with Kailh Low profile switches would be nice for you then.
Sorry, I should have looked the keyboard up before replying -- I just saw that it's a membrane.
I haven't heard much about them, but maybe look into Kailh low-profile switches? Or Cherry ML?
https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Extra-Thin-Switches-HV-KB390L/dp/B0722GG88M?th=1&amp;psc=1
This is a newer keyboard and I love it. I'm getting it for a friend of mine. I do believe there is a full RGB version
Has anyone tried this?
I like the mechs that I have but I feel like I need something lower like you said
I just bought the Havit HV-KB390L. It's a slim tkl keyboard with blue switches. I like this keyboard in the short time I've had it. But its just so dang loud. Are there any alternatives out there that are slim and tkl and not so loud? Mechanical recommendations not required.
If you're looking for something off the shelf, I've been pretty happy with this one: https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Extra-Thin-Switches-Rollover/dp/B0722GG88M/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=havit+keyboard&amp;qid=1568562928&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix=havit&amp;sr=8-4
Custom low profile boards are not very common.
I've been looking at low-profile compact keyboard options recently, and to my surprise it's proving trickier than expected, so I'm asking for suggestions
Criteria are as following:
Am currently using a Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop keyboard. The keys feel really nice, and the layout is good, but so far the mid-keyboard gap isn't quite clicking with me (I've pressed Y with my left hand for at least 10 years now, and here it's on the right side) and their other keyboards with same type of keys are all full-sized.
I have a Logitech K380 lying around, and it's alright (no high standards, mostly used with mobile devices), but not a fan of squished arrow keys.
Current considerations:
Update: Settled on HAVIT. Sharkoon seems OK too but only ships from Germany (?) and is a little thicker; Thinkpad is generally highly regarded but the layout is a bit oddish (Fn is left-most key) and my life can do without the perspectives of cleaning any more laptop-esque (inset) keyboards.
This one?
https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Extra-Thin-Switches-Rollover/dp/B0722GG88M/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1542519080&sr=8-3&keywords=havit+keyboard
Looks nice and has a lot of good reviews. Don't know the brand. Did see it while doing research.
Honestly, you just might not be meant for normal mechanical keyboards. I assume you're used to laptop style keyboards? Any mechanical keyboard will have much more travel than laptop style keyboards (around 4mm of travel compared to around 2mm or less on a laptop), hence why the keys seem so tall. I would try to give it a week of use before discarding it altogether though. One thing to note is that Corsair keyboards are notorious for being loud, so they might not be the best brand out there for you.
There does exist lower profile mechanical keyboards as well. For instance, Corsair, Filco, and Cooler Master sell keyboards with Cherry MX Low Profile Linear switches, which have only 3mm of travel. It'll still be more than what you're probably used to, but it might be a good compromise, and they'll be quieter than normal Cherry Reds to boot. An even lower profile mechanical keyboard with Kailh Low Profile clicky switches is also sold here.
Another gripe you might have with Cherry Reds is that since they're linear and have no tactile feedback, you might feel like you have to push the key harder than you have to. In contrast, tactile switches like Cherry Browns would help alleviate this.
I couldn't find one under $50, but we have this and this from Havit.
I had the Logitech K380 for a while and it's not very good. None of Logitech's keyboards are. The best ultraportable is the Lenovo Compact Thinkpad Keyboard. I had the Bluetooth version and it was unfortunately very unstable (not everyone has this issue apparently), but they also make a USB version.
For an even better keyboard, go mechanical. The Anne Pro 2 is a great option, but it's much bigger than the Lenovo one. There are also low profile options like this one, but these switches are fairly new so not that many boards so far.
What about a mechanical, low-profile, tenkeyless keyboard? Does it exist?
I could only find this: HAVIT HV-KB390L
This
For a mechanical keyboard this is actually pretty cheap. Really, if you want durability all you need is to search for mechanical keyboards at your price range.

As for the mouse, just get one with a braided cable. Or braid it yourself to save on a few dillars. Granted I can't tell garantee the clicks won't wear out
>But when I play games, I can feel the heat on the keyboard while typing which is real bad
I noticed that when I was playing Quake Champions. My solution was to use a small external, low-profile mechanical keyboard. Normally, I would use Cherry red switch keyboards for gaming, but the low-profile, Kailh blue switches are a pleasure to use. Very easy to carry inside of a backpack with your Helios 300. You should also be using a wireless mouse. I use the Logitech G305 wireless mouse since I am ambidextrous.
disclaimer: I only own and use TKL keyboards so I can only recommend TKL keyboards in good faith, which I understand are not for everyone.
THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG
This Havit TKL keyboard is my work keyboard, but it's very affordable and advertises NKRO (and passes your double shift test). The switches are Kailh Blue not genuine Cherry Blue and it is a lower profile keyboard but I love it. One major drawback is there is a bit of a tinny noise if you bottom out the keys to hard.
The Logitech G Pro is my home/gaming keyboard. I love Romer G switches but not everyone does so be aware of that. For reference they are basically MX browns but quieter (by a lot) and bumpier. I can confirm I have no issues with ghosting or rollover while gaming on it. It advertises this:
>Multi-key input means complex moves can be executed exactly right every time. With 26-key rollover, press almost any number of keys plus modifier keys (Control, Alt, Shift) in any order and get exactly what you intended.
Retails at $130 but link is for a refurb @ $70

Iv really enjoyed it. Great for typing and gaming. Keys are right where they're supposed to be and the switches feel nice imo.
>The wireless connection only worked for up to 1.5 metres or so
Yeah, the 2.4 GHz band is typically very polluted these days. I get the same limitation from my Logitech Unifying Receiver. In my home theater I ended up running an active USB extension cable closer to my seats and attaching a USB hub back there. My HID dongles are plugged in across the room from my actual PC. I cheated. :)

>One LED (one of the F-functions) didn't display red and there didn't correctly display the RGB colours.
Hey, I think I saw your Amazon review. You're famous! Mine doesn't suffer this issue. But the Sink87G is dirt cheap in the mech keyboard world. I guess one is more likely to encounter a lemon in the sub $100 price range, as you and I both have experienced.
&#x200B;
Edit: I just received my replacement Sink87G. As far as I can tell, it's free of defects this time. Still needs a little break-in, but I see no non-working LEDs, and all the keys work as intended.
&#x200B;
>I didn't find it that much better to type/game on than a 'normal' keyboard.
This hobby is definitely a solution to a first world problem. I'm old enough to remember when buckling spring keyboards were common. First time I used a membrane keyboard in a computer lab, my first impression was "wtf was done to this poor keyboard?" I switched computers and was horrified to find they were all that spongy and obstinate. Of course, I've used some truly horrible keyboards in my time -- the kind where, if you saw them, you'd wonder if the girl whose water broke at that workstation made it to the hospital in time. Using something so horrible really makes one appreciate the finer things.
If you grew up with membranes, then you probably consider it normal punching the keys until they bottom out. That's completely understandable. And modern membranes have improved, some incorporating a tactile snap reminiscent of what you probably felt with your Outemu Browns. I'm not surprised you didn't find the experience a profound improvement.
Of course among mech keyboard fans, there are many who do not like brown switches, but instead prefer linear reds or clicky blues, stiffer linear blacks, vintage Alps, or Filco buckling springs. I bet if you got a keyboard with red switches and practiced for a day or two typing without bottoming out, you might come to appreciate the speed benefit over your Microsoft keyboard.
Hey, I wonder if you'd like low profile switches, something like the Havit HV-KB395L (low profile blues) or this Magic Refiner MK10 (low profile reds)? They've got less travel than typical mechs, and may feel more familiar while still an improvement over your Microsoft keyboard.
Hexgears X-1 is probably the highest quality option, though you'll have to wait a month or two for them to be in stock
If you want something cheaper, I'd recommend one of the HAVIT boards from Amazon. 100% or TKL
I think the lowest priced low profile keyboard I’ve come across is this one; I have it and honestly it’s pretty nice!

Depends what you are looking for. Do you want 10 key or ten keyless. Do you want quiet, loud or rgb?
Hypothetically, you can get a regular TKL and replace the keys with low-profile ones.
The Dare-U EK820 TKL w/ the new Choc low profile switches is now available in the US as the Havit Low profile TKL which was what Shadowstar was talking about. It's even lower than the Gram.
Looking for recommendations for a low profile switch that falls somewhere between the kailh choc brown and kailh choc blues. The GAMDIAS low profile browns that I tried in this keyboard were EXTREMELY mushy and unsatisfying, and the kailh choc blues that I tried in this keyboard feel fantastic but are far too loud and clicks for my liking. I loved the feel of the full size MX browns I had previously, but much prefer the low profile travel distance.
Is there a low profile switch that is quiet and tactile? Anyone have experience with kailh choc browns?

New official Wii Classic Controller Pros go for around $50 online and since they're out of production it's very unlikely you'll find one in a store.
I was talking about this one https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0
thx for the answer tho forgot to say pro controller my bad
The pro controller doesn't use sockets -- unless you mean USB in which case it is a different socket. The classic controller pro does use the Wiimote socket.
hahaa So confusing. Wow.
So would this be the right combination?
Wiimote: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Wii-Remote-Plus-Black/dp/B00N4OAELY/ref=pd_sim_63_22?ie=UTF8&amp;dpID=41pDVGqtA6L&amp;dpSrc=sims&amp;preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&amp;refRID=16YNA1JFTG39VX3J6MD2

The Wiimote and Nunchuk say WiiU on the box, but the controller says Wii. Is this right?
Ahhh, I see. What you're referring to as the classic controller others are saying is the pro controller.
Apparently, this is the classic controller and the one you are showing is called the classic controller pro.
Ah, for a second I thought it worked without the Wiimote. If it still has to be plugged in, how is it any different than the Wii Classic Controller Pro? Amazon has them for $15.
Edit: In retrospect, I see you have the Wii Wireless Retro Controller, which does work like I thought, but you linked to the wired version, presumably because the wireless version is out of stock.
This looks like all the fan mock-ups of the controllers....
So either the fans just guessed right, or it's faked... It seems hard to believe they would make it look that way.
Then again, same shape as the Pro, huh? http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Black-Nintendo/dp/B002TLTBN0/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1303679077&amp;sr=8-7
>Where is the cheapest I can find a classic controller pro?
Amazon is your best bet.
They aren't being manufactured anymore.
These fight pads work exactly like classic controllers.
>Does sonic all stars racing support a pro controller?
Yup.
>Are there still people online on Injustice Gods Among Us or Mass Effect 3?
Pretty dead compared to any other console, but you'll occassionally get lucky.
> Does Injustice and Mass Effect have any of the dlc released
Some Injustice DLC.
Mass Effect comes with some, but not all is available (particularly the Omega DLC).
>Are all the lego games (lego marvel, batman 2 and 3) lacking dlc on wii u?
Correct, no DLC.
Yeah. It's even advertised that way

My friend has that and loves it. Personally though, a GC controller feels much more awkward to use than a PS2 controller. When I'm emulating an N64 on my computer, I usually use a 360 controller or a Logitech Gamepad (which is styled after the PS2 controller). So on the physical system, the PS2->N64 adapter here seems like it would be much nicer (and more familiar) for me than using a GC controller...
That said, the original Wii Pro controller is a fantastic middle-ground between GC and PS2, better than either one really; I'd love to find an adapter for using one of those instead!
These are the ones I found (theyre german but its just for the pics)

I actually just borrowed melee from a friend! And I've been playing smash bros since the n64 version, but I've never actually owned a nintendo console until now. Now my problem is that I don't have any gamecube controllers. Is the Classic Controller Pro any good for smash bros? I also see some used gamecube controllers for $14, so I might just go with that.
You can use the Wii Classic Controller (https://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-Controller-Pro-Nintendo-Standard/dp/B002TLTBN0/?th=1), but that's all I know about the VWii. Even with the adapter, GCN controllers won't work on the VWii. If you want more controller options, see if the game is available on the Wii U EShop. Good luck.
This
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B002TLTBN0.01.lg.jpg
It's a "Wii Classic Controller Pro".
Sorry for not being specific enough xD
Do you think it will work?
yep, will need one for each. those adaptors i linked also require wiimotes. if you are getting classic controllers for smash, make sure they are classic controller pros and notnormal classic controllers. brawl needs the ZL/ZR buttons, which are very uncomfortable to press on the old design.
Go to target and/or gamestop etc and buy the Classic Wiimote Controller. It plugs into the standard wiimote, but give you all that same buttons as the PS3 remote. This is what I use
When you have it, just plug it up to the wiimote, then turn on the Wii Remote control app. It should find it no problem, it will say "Classic Controller detected!" Hit a couple of button and you should see that it's registering.
Edit: Make sure its the official Nintendo Wii Classic controller, it will have the Wii logo on the front. I bought a cheap one off of Amazon and it didn't work at all.
My controller of choice is the Wii Classic Controller Pro. The face buttons can take a bit of getting used to, but the sticks are really nice and have the same octagon gates, it feels good to hold, and the shoulder buttons are worlds better than the GC's shoulder buttons. The GC's shoulder buttons are the sole reason I can never use that controller
edit: this thing https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B002TLTBN0.01.lg.jpg Not the wii u pro controller
Yeah, there is a Wii Pro Controller that works. But you plug it into the Wii Remote for it to work. After that it's a normal controller. It's very similar to a PS2 controller but it doesn't have clicky sticks. It comes in 3 colors, so it's up to you which one to pick. If you want a white one, buy it here. If you want a black one, buy it here. If you want a golden one, buy it here. There is always the Wii U Pro Controller which comes in both white and black, but that only works on Wii U games and not Wii games.
The "Classic Controller Pro", right? Not the WiiU "Pro Controller"?
Wii U Pro Controller,
Wii Classic Pro Controller, or the
Wii U Smash Wireless GC Controllers
I highly recommend these three if you can't find the adapter and if you want to be comfortable to play SSB then the three that I mention will do but if you want to use the controllers with other games then I highly recommend the Wii U Pro since the controller is mostly compatible with other games.
They may be referring to the Classic Controller Pro-

That's wicked cool! I think I might jump for that one. I was originally gonna go for this because it had triggers (https://www.amazon.com/PDP-PSVita-Trigger-Grips/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1483762584&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=vita+trigger) but I think I'm gonna go with that one. Thanks for the help!

Is this what you're looking for? I bought my original vita off eBay years ago and it came with one like this but mine has no label or markings to indicate a brand or model. I've actually never played my vita without it. It seems weird at first but I feel like it's much more normal feeling and feels more like a controller to me.
Makes me wonder after finding these, if anyone here has used them? http://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=pd_bxgy_sw_text_y
Holding the Vita isn't the most comfortable thing for me and these look like they might be a good solution.
Screw it for 6 bucks its worth a shot.
I saw this one, mixed reviews though https://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW
I got a vita the other day for Destiny. Absolutely worth the purchase. If you are looking for a good grip to go with the vita, check this one out. I ordered one and will be trying it out tomorrow. I have heard very good reviews about it. Also, in order to get mine to connect I had to update some of the ports in my router for the PS4. You can find the guide here. You just find your router on that page and then follow the instructions. Very simple.
It's not grippy, unfortunately. It doesn't feel bulky to me, but maybe it does to you. If you want something with better grip, I suggest looking into something that has triggers: https://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=vita+trigger&amp;qid=1566493161&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-6
Why not get these: http://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW/
just as good, I have them, feel great man.
I have the PDP trigger grip, and it's really nice :)
http://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW
If you get one make sure to get these grips for it, so much more comfortable to play on.
I like it for light solo missions, bounty farming, etc. It is excellent for mobile casual play. I prefer to stick to my PS4 and dualshock for major missions (Nightfall, Weekly Heroic, VoG where things get really intense) and PVP.
How big are your hands?
Edit: Eh. I'll just throw the cheapest two grips I know of and have used. These grips are for the 1000 model.
PDP Trigger Grip is the only trigger grip that I know of that works well. Good for big hands and small hands. Medium hands... not so much.
CTA Grip is the best non trigger grip for your money. It does what the Nyko Grip does at a cheaper price and... that's all there is to it. It's a grip. The other alternative to this is the Japanese Assist Grip and the Nyko Vita Grip. Great for any size hands.
Have you tried the PDP Trigger Grip? I bought it and it's not very comfortable, so I've been thinking about the Nyko One.
I had some left over credit and ended up buying these grips for my Vita on a whim. I couldnt be more happy with them and notice that it makes longer gaming sessions much more comfortable. :)

This resolved my issue with the shoulder buttons.
Edit: fix link
I have these but I honestly have NO idea why they're so expensive on amazon haha.
I have heard that depending on which brand and production run you can get a wide variety on the quality of the Insten type grips.
I have the PDP grip (https://www.amazon.com/PSVita-Trigger-Grips-Sony-PS-Vita/dp/B0072A4JVW) too. It certainly holds the vita secure but over time I grew to like the trigger action less and less. I came to believe that the trigger action felt a tad sloppy and it didn't necessarily recognize each trigger pull. I tried using the Vita with and without the triggers during Killzone and I noticed I just performed better using the Vita's natural shoulder buttons. Still believe it come down to preference.
Possibly the only grip I haven't purchased is the one that adds buttons. I would love to try one of the Hori L2/R2 grips but they are so expensive ($80) I doubt I will ever get one.
I ended up snagging one of these guys and it works like a charm.

I got the PDP grip and totally recommend it. It's very hard to find and I only managed to get one off of eBay.
It adds just enough grip to the Vita to make it easier to hold for long periods of time but it's very thin and weights practically nothing. Very solid build, and fits perfectly (doesn't budge or anything). The grips are ok. Nothing outstanding, but work well and are pretty responsive.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with it. A pain in the ass to find one outside of the US, but other than that...
This is what i'm talking about:

I'm loving these 2 with remote play. Nothing i have found yet to add L2/R2 but these combined make a big difference especially when playing FPS.

Have you tested remote play over the internet yet? Some people don't realize the upload speed required. (at least 2mb/s upload is OK, 5mb/s is recommended i guess)
To run you press the down arrow ..
Otherwise - I use mine all the time.. and honestly the only issue is with aiming. The analog sticks are not nearly as good as the dualshock 4. I added a grip to mine shortly after I got it which helps and there are some analog grips you can try that might help.

Also the sound can get out of sync pretty easy..
I found these. They’re pretty good quality and nice design. But they used to be cheaper. Now it’s not really in stock. It is but for a higher price.

Ya, the LR and L2R2 ones are generally much more robust and cost much more.
Here's one of the best:

I don't think I've been gifted by you, but at this point I'm honestly not sure.
Assuming I haven't (and that its price is considered 'reasonable'), this Vita grip would be fantastic.
I wish that and this could make an amazing baby. That being said, the triggers on mine(the PDP) could use a little work.
Let me preface this by saying I'm not local as I live on the coast of NC so take it as you will.
I actually just got finished wiring my house with CAT5 and setup a server closet with an enterprise router/switch/firewall/AP. Fist and foremost for experience as I'm going for Cisco certs currently. Now I really need a server or two to interface with within the network and looking for options because most of my budget has been blown.
I have a Vita that I was just thinking the other day that I needed to sell as I barley even game on the PC anymore. It's a first gen but the OLED is sooo much better looking than the LCD. I was planning on selling it along with my account so I could transfer over the 25+ PS+ games I've acquired on it. It has a 32GB card and I have a soft padded carrying case for it along with this trigger grip. I also have a $20 PSN card I'll throw in too but you'll probably need to use $10 of it to reactivate the PS+ membership as it's currently expired.
If you're interested, lmk so I can list off all the games I've purchased along with the PS+ ones. Sadly everything is linked to my account as it's all been digitally purchased outside the physical copy of Killzone Mercenary.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to invest in these. It feels waaaaaaaay better to play with trigger grips!
Here's the same trigger case on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0072A4JVW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
That's for the OLED version, I believe they make a version for the Slim as well.
It doesn't have the extra battery life, but it turns the shoulder buttons into triggers and the price is right.

I use this. I think i got mine for about $29.99 usd. Much more comfortable to play. Also added some thumb stick extenders.
It's actually funny, as I had bought one when they first launched. Played the Uncharted game... and that was about it. Well, until Destiny that is. I've logged a ton of hours of Destiny on my Vita. My girlfriend isn't to fond of gaming, and me sitting in front of the TV in another room all night. So I usually will end my night running strikes or farming for materials laying in bed while shes watching some reality shows or something lol. Totally worth it. Although, you will want to get one of these for it. hope this helps. (make sure you buy the right set of triggers for your model. This link is to the ones for the original PS VITA.

That's the exact one I have but I didn't pay $50 for it. I don't know why it's listed at such a high price now. I paid like $20 for it.
try this
I'm looking into buying the dreamGEAR Comfort Grip or CYBER grip but I'm not sure which one will suit me better. I have fairly long and skinny fingers, and while playing the demo I've found my right pinky finger taking a lot of strain. I need to look into both a bit further but I can let you know if I decide on one.
I mean. Using the 3DS for an extended period of time hurts my hands anyways. The bumpers are hard to press while keeping it balanced in my hands.
Try something like this maybe? http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1411396830&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=3ds+xl+rubber+grip
I did the same but I REALLY didnt like how far you had to move your fingers up to use the shoulder buttons. Heres the one I bought. I ended up buying some Poly clay and making it more comfortable to put your index fingers on the shoulders, middle fingers on the black original cyber grip part and your ring fingers on the molded portion.
Heres a picture of what I did - Bonus picture of my cat & Ike in his white alt color in SSB4
Sorry for the potato picture.
I basically molded it to my liking then baked it attached to the grip at a lower-than-recommended temperature (about 170-185 for over an hour. I placed it on a few wine bottle corks that were placed on top of a glass cooking container thing I turned upside-down.
Then I sanded a little bit and remembered I hate sanding poly clay so I stopped and now it is lumpy but comfortable.
I use this (note I didn't buy it for that much)
As far as cramp relief it's great, but for the L, R, zL, and zR buttons it kind of digs into your hand. it's a minor inconvienience.
I've been using this for a while. I personally find it a little annoying when you have to use the triggers, but it's much more comfortable to hold and a lot of people like it. It also blocks the stylus, but that shouldn't be a problem for Smash.
I would recommend this, or if you're looking to save money, this. There were some 3ds XL Trigger Grips on eBay, but it seems they no longer sell them.
If you don't plan on playing the game that uses the CCP don't buy it, it's an ugly piece of plastic I find, it makes your 3DS way too bulky and ugly for my taste. Plus it requires batteries to function (that's so 2000 :P), I really don't like that add-on lol
I have this [one] (http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1412688642&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=3ds+xl+grip) and I freaking love it.
And the non-mobile link.
I bought this grip for my NA unit. I have been pretty pleased with it for RPGs and Mario Kart.
The biggest problem with it is that you can not get to the stylus with this attached. I remedy that by either already having it out if I am going to need it, or just use my finger. I looked into getting a finger stylus, but haven't gotten around to it.
It is also sometimes awkward to use the shoulder buttons depending on the game. Overall though, I have enjoyed this purchase.

This is the one I currently have, will it fit new 3ds or do I have to buy another one?
I get asked this a lot. Short answer, don't worry about CPP. I get by just fine without it, hell I don't even use the digital D-pad. The L button is all I need. CPP is overrated as a primary imput. If you need camera controls, the C-stick will work just fine. A lot of people don't even know how to use it properly which is where all the complaints arise from.
I normally tell people to get a Wii U instead of a NN3DS if they already have a 3DS and if they don't have a 3DS, to get the NN3DS. But if your main issue is simply holding the system rather than being a matter of deciding what to buy, get a NN3DS and get one of these. http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU
I heard good things about em. Hope it helps.
What's the difference between the new Cyber one running ~40 and the one I used to see recommended often? Did they fix the trigger intrusion?
Finally getting into Smash and it's destroying my hands. Just need some grip.
> New 3DS XL cyber grip
Is this it?
I bought these when they were much cheaper. I only paid $9.80 for them new. Sadly they're not in production anymore so that price has skyrocketed to $70.
Non-mobile link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZXBYJU/
And yeah, the only downsides are that the shoulder buttons are a little awkward and the stylus holder is blocked.
Looks good I ordered one so I hope I made a smart purchase.
I was gonna get this but i heard that access to the L & R buttons is bad.
I purchased this a couple months ago and love it! It's very comfortable! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008ZXBYJU/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1419577174&amp;sr=8-2&amp;pi=AC_SY200_QL40

Hey. I HIGHLY recommend this. I experienced hand cramps often with the 3ds XL and the NN3DS XL until I got this. If you like the feel of the PS4 controller then this should have that same familiar, comfortable feel.
You're welcome! Apparently this one is less bulky.
Or you could just glue or screw the GameCube controller to your 3ds
I use the N3DS version of the Cyber Grips. This link is a older 3DS XL version
For the 64, try replacing the thumb stick with the Video Game Museum's redesign:
https://www.amazon.com/Redesigned-REPLACEMENT-Joystick-Controller-Thumbstick/dp/B009MRZAUC
They took a Game Cube analog stick and retrofitted it to fit the N64. It actually lasts for a lot of hard plays, unlike the originals.
If you really want to improve your Quake 64 game, I just found a replacement joystick for your N64 controller for $12. I'd give it a shot if I still had my N64... :/
These kind of replacement sticks are the ones I'm thinking of getting
http://www.amazon.com/Redesigned-REPLACEMENT-Joystick-Controller-Thumbstick/dp/B009MRZAUC
The amazon reviews are mostly positive but there are a few naysayers.
They sell kits to convert the joysticks to ones more similar to those found on Game Cube controllers.
You can always buy a joystick replacement for cheap.

I've reconditioned half a dozen n64 controllers with these. They're amazing, way better than original, and aren't using fucking optical sensors and wheels like the original. What a batshit crazy design.
Yeah you can replace them. I haven't tried these yet though.
You can order just the joysticks here. It's super easy to install. Just take apart the controller, unplug bad joystick, plug in good joystick, and put it back together. I've done this a couple times for myself or friends.
For controllers, pick up any OEM controller you like then, if the stick is shot, replace it with an aftermarket one.
I've been using some GameCube-like analog sticks from here [0] to repair my old controllers. Some don't like them but to me they work and feel great.
There's also CWSFDavid who is working to 3D print some stockalike sticks! [1]
Lastly, if you want to "splurge" again, look into Hori controllers. They're probably the highest quality non-OEM controller you can get.

If you prefer to replace them yourself, the best option is SteelSticks, when they are available. The Hyperkin GameCube style joystick replacement is the next best option. However, there are dead zones with this joystick even though it is a better replacement than almost any other option out there. The resolution to that is to buy or build this.
You can buy replacement controllers that have better controls, or you can buy just a replacement joystick
Great stuff man. Love the details and feedback. One more question though. You talked about doing a GameCube joystick mod, and you talked a bit about the joystick. What is your review of the joystick that came with the 8bitdo controller? Can it be replaced by one of those high quality replacement sticks for the n64 controllers $12 on Amazon
I'm looking at doing something like that combo as a gift for my brolo el coñado.
This one is redesigned to be more like a Gamecube one
