Should I get a fake one or not?

[Derppppp]

I've been looking all over the web for a controller to play on my PC, and I've come to the conclusion to get a Xbox Controller (Wired, of course).

How do they compare to the Logitech F310?

So, I came across a little something on Ebay, I found a fake 360 controller.

You can tell it's fake because the home button is plain, and has no Microsoft Logo. It even says in the description that it's not genuine.

Anyway, do you think I should get it, or play it safe and get a genuine controller (which by the way costs 4x as much),

Also, the Steam Machines are coming out in 2014 along with SteamOS (which I'll most likely be dual-booting) and the steam Controller. How much do you think the controller will cost - will it rival the price of a DualShock 4/XB1 Controller? That's £55 or $60, depending on where you live.

I would assume it would cost me a lung since it has so many features like a touchscreen, MANY buttons, and loads more.

The seller has sold 1000 of these and gets a lot of positive feedback, and the negative feedback is mostly because of shipping and stuff, which has got nothing to do with the controller, and it's build quality.

honestly man just go to gamestop grab a wired xbox 360 controller. good sturdy for around 50 bucks, its plug and play and you do not have to calibrate it for most games.

You get what you pay for.
In your place, i would keep saving money. Watch for a genuine one on sale or used, i've seen them between $30 and $40.
In the end it's your decision, though.

i personally use a ps3 controller with the pc (via motioninjoy software) since i already have about 5 of them laying around.

if you need to buy one because you have nothing then just about anything would work. even the $60 official controllers break so i wouldnt count on build quality. hence the reason i have five ps3 controllers. aftermarket products often work just as good so your choice.
