    That 4GB inclusion is the deal maker.

    No not all of them, he makes some without. This is his newest idea so you would probably have to order one built.

    Meh. You can get a 4gb flash drive for free and one of these for $15.

    I understand the cool factor in that its super portable, but I have been using the above setup for years now without any issues.

    Totally awesome. I would get one of these to live back retro style. But I just ordered a Logitech G700...broke the bank even though it's not expensive for you guys. Damn...

    As you saw in my video I used an adapter also. Some people its worth spending more to not mess with the adapter cable mess or compatibility issues.

    I wont be using my mayflash adapter anymore now that I have this and that makes me happy and if i want to use it on my laptop just roll up the controller and toss it in my bag so thats a pretty great thing.

    Pfft thats just a recreation this is the real deal :D

    I pretty much hate replicas they are never as good as the original in terms of feel or quality.

    When I would go to a friends house if they had an off brand controller for a console id fight them over the authentic controller that came with the console.

    I bought one of the Legacy joysticks to go with my C64 emulator. I can hardly tell the difference from the original.

    It sure beats hell out of getting the 64 down from the closet shelf.
