Nah, it just takes some time to get used to it from all that I have seen. I can't wait to play with it tomorrow.
yeah, it's pretty different, so I don't know why people expect it to be instantly familiar. it took me a few days to even start feeling comfortable with it

it also wasn't really meant to be a replacement for traditional controllers. it was designed to be one controller that will work with mouse/kb games, as well as games that already support controllers

Hey everyone, I've finally decided I wanted to build a Gaming PC. I've never done so before. Never had the money etc etc. so I've been ordering parts since Black Friday/Cyber Monday and this is what I have.

Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-02 Mid Tower Gaming Case.
Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 5
EVGA GeForce GTX 970
i5-4590
EVGA 600B
Western Digital 1TB
SanDisk SSD 120 GB
Keyboard Mouse Combo
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB

If you don't mind could y'all give me your thoughts? I should get the Graphics card delivered tomorrow so hopefully I can start building this thing. I also bought a copy of Windows 10 and a cheap $20 Samsung CD DVD drive just to make my life easier.

If you guys could give me some advice or software I should download/purchase to help maintain this thing or just cool stuff for that matter I would really appreciate it. VPN, Torrents, Stuff to protect from malware and viruses anything would help really.

I'll definitely will be asking a bunch of questions soon, so thanks in advance!

was gonna cop this weekend but ultimately just decided to wait it out for the eventual revision. hopefully by black friday, there will be a v2 model under $50 or with some games bundled.
