Fun with Controllers

 Here are a few controllers that have been added to my collection (Semi) recently


I have been playing alot of arcade puzzle games such as Bejeweled, Bejeweled 2, Boggle and one of my favorite puzzle game series of all time, Tetris Effect on Game Pass. So I decided to get a dedicated controller for those type of games. The standard Xbox One controller works, but this new one works and feels so much better when playing these kinds of games.


Another Power A Controller 
Their "Fusion Fight Pad"

It was on Sale for $29.99 on Amazon

It is wired, the wire is 10 feet long, If I was any further away from the TV I wouldn't see it clear anyway, Old Man Club! I have it plugged into one of the USB ports on the back of my Original Xbox One, and it does not effect when I am using one of my wireless controllers as a main one.

 But once I pulled out the controller, I saw this?

And Underneath
a Second white controller cover?

I did not know it came with this. It just uses the magnets on the back to switch covers

Cool Bonus, I prefer the Black one of course.



Just pull up here with a fingernail to change.

In the above picture you can also see the switch to set which input you want the D-Pad to be


So as I was playing with some controllers, I realized I only have One PS4 controller. And as I was out I had been noticing that the stores seemed to have less and less,  Then I saw this one online, I Want One!

A Walmart exclusive transparent blue PS4 controller

It was available online and in store, so I figured I would just wait till I went to Walmart again.

Big Mistake.........

I Did not see one at my local Walmart on my next visit, nor the other Walmart  that is semi near me, and when I went online to order one, Sold Out....... Ugh......

I did not care much for the colors that were available, then I found this for $75 at Walmart

A Fifa Controller Bundle

I sold the DLC Codes for the game and extra gold bonus things for $25.00

So I got a brand new PS4 controller as a back up, for $50.00, less than buying a new one separately


Then as my luck goes two weeks later I was at Savers, and they had this


A used, but in box PS4 controller.

I took it out of the box and looked it over, pressed the buttons and decided to roll the dice. And as a bonus when I got up to the register, I gave them my phone number to access my Savers Club and turned out I had a 20% off coupon, Nice! So it turned out to be $24.99.

Synched it to my PS4 console and it works just fine.

Hey, now I have 2 backup controllers


And I have to end on this one, because the Xbox 360 is my main focus, for $2.99

A White Wired Xbox 360 Controller

Needs new sticks, but of course I have extras. I also have a Black wired controller I bought years ago as a backup, but for $2.99 it is nice to add a white one to the collection as well.
