    Contact person on Craigslist who sold it to you. If they sold something that was stolen, then you should get the police involved. Sounds like you got scammed and are trying to find a solution to your problem with it rather than seek restitution for being scammed. If it were me, I'd try to...

    Post Alternative Gamepads

    I can't complain about the nyko. I got one on amazon was a dud. Returned it and got one from gamestop and saved a few extra $. Works good. I think if you get one that works, it is a different story. But if I had gotten a 2nd one that was no good. I'd stay away too Sent from my SM-G900T using...

    Amazon controller would be best in my opinion for full compatibility. I have an ouya controller which works very well and waiting on the nyko play pad pro cause I picked it up cheap on amazon so I couldn't pass it up.

    Post best game controller for fire tv?

    Thanks. Haven't seen the ouya for that low, always see it at $49.99 at target. I was contemplating a usb wifi adapter for xbox 360 remote too, can pick those up for a few dollars and already have an xbox 360 controller too. That may be my best option.
