Riptide GP2 Is a great budget racer that reminded me of generic old console racers that used to come out in droves. I bought it just for the 6 player novelty on xbox one but ended up liking the game a lot more than expected and finished the single player progression. Sadly, it is only 4 player maximum on PC but at $5 I'd recommend it.


Already mentioned in this thread is Blur which has 2-4 player split screen and is a lot of fun in my opinion. Sadly, it was delisted from steam so tracking a copy down is more difficult than it should be. It is a fun racing game with powerups so it has the mario kart fun of screwing your opponents and allows for those who are behind a better chance of catching up than just a straight racer does.

Xbox 360 wired controllers are very plug-and-play. Up to 4 Wireless controllers are also plug and play as long as you get one of these:

You are likely to find 360 controllers far cheaper than current gen controllers.

I use this adapter with four controllers. It works very well.

Venom charging stands are great, takes much less space than leaving the controllers lying about, means they have a dedicated place to live and are always charged. I have one for my 360 controllers and another for my PS4 ones. Haven't found anything that will do my Switch Pro controllers though :(

This is the one I used for my laptop: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-4-Port-Portable-Aluminum-2-Foot/dp/B00O0KISQE/ref=pd_sim_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00O0KISQE&pd_rd_r=489QEWG9DFFXEM0F6PWJ&pd_rd_w=usKGN&pd_rd_wg=cAAL4&psc=1&refRID=489QEWG9DFFXEM0F6PWJ

Idk about the one you were looking at personally, but I can vouch for the one I just put up there. However, I have since switched from laptop to tower gaming and have been using this one since the power adapter didn't matter to me: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DQFGH80/ref=twister_B00FB50S0Q?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I have never tried an extension of the USB cable, but I have actually used a longer HDMI cable. You could potentially get a longer HDMI cable to plug your laptop into a central location or a location near your chairs and then plug the controllers in that way. Unfortunately I have no experience with USB extensions so I don't want to misguide you with any guesses.
