Nice Stadia controller!
Thanks. Never used a Stadia though. My old DS4 controller was seeing some stick drift and I didn’t have a ton of cash at the time to replace it and saw someone selling a Stadia controller for $5 since the service was shutting down. They didn’t realize it could be unlocked for bluetooth use on PC. It’s a nice controller though.
I really liked the form factor on them. My partner and I were heavy stadia users during the pandemic.
I ended up grabbing quite a few as people sold them off after the shutdown. Really can’t be beat for $5-10.
Yeah someone had it for $10 + free shipping on eBay and I noticed oddly enough they were about 8 miles from me so I just messaged them if they’d take $5 and I’d come pick it up so no fees or hassle with shipping.
That’s a great come up.
Yeah, was a nice stroke of luck.
I keep coming back to this post, it’s so pretty
I really like that board layout
Yeah. I work in commercial lending and do a lot of financial analysis so I need a numpad. This board was a treat to myself for getting a new job that allows 3 days remote work where my last job had to be in the office 100% since I was managing the lending department. But this is a perfect compromise on space since really narrows down the navigation key area from a 3 wide section with arrows/home/pg up/pg down/del/insert/etc and bumps the arrows into the main section and then just gives a couple keys for navigation. I have them set to Pg Up/Pg Down/Delete for the three keys between the numpad and letters. The purple key at the top of that section is Home. FN+Purple key is end. And the bottom one (the blueberrys) is delete and FN+delete is Print Screen.
I was between the Q5 Pro and the Zoom98 which has a very similar layout but I didn’t want to wait for the group buy on the Zoom98. Super happy with my purchase though on the Q5 Pro.
