      @jonnykesh Thanks for the feedback. Just got tempted by an offer for a brand new one for 21 euro on ebay: bought it.
      Let's hope it's actually an official one as described (if not, Paypal will cover ;-) ).

        @udb23 With ebay you have a 50/50 chance. Just make sure it is genuine. Also it does take a little while to "break in" in my experience.
        So, give it a fair chance.
        Sounds like a good deal if it is a genuine SONY OEM DS4.

          Thanks for all the advice here guys. I really like the look of the qumox Wiiu controllers. I may have to give one a go if people can vouch for them. So am I unlikely to experience ghost inputs and lag from using a pi3b+ because of the better WiFi chip? I have to agree that the dpad on the 360 controllers isn't great. And the ibuffalo is a bit small so I'm looking for something in between. Does the Wiiu controllers use the xpad driver or is it independent?

            No, it's not using the xpad driver.

              Too good to be true. Ebay wrote me that the seller's account had been compromised. No payment was finalised luckily.
              Bought another one from Amazon ;-)

                @udb23 Funnily, I watched a YouTube video today about how to spot fake console cartridges. One of the advices given was that if an offer sounds too good to be true, it's very likely a fake one.

                  @mitu so they should connect straight away and configure in emulation station? I'm guessing then they should work in the lr cores?

                    @ashpi The Wii U Pro controller connect via Bluetooth, you'll have to pair it first, then the configuration in ES and it works straight away. I have one and it works fine, but I didn't test if it works also wired (has an USB cable).

                      @clyde In fact I expected it; still as long as paypal covers that seller: no risk.

                        @udb23 I concur. To my own biggest surprise, I managed to get a genuine copy of the Dragon's Lair 20th Anniversary 3 DVD box (as far as I can tell, but Daphne recognizes it, too) for only 4,04€ plus 3€ shipping at the German Amazon Marketplace last month. \o/

                        I also expected a fraud, but for that price plus Amazon's refund guarantee, it was worth a try.
