I would. In my experience, buying knockoff shit is more risky on Amazon than on eBay which is more risky (though often quicker) than AliExpress. Not sure why. But obviously for legit stuff you're probably better off on amazon than eBay.We're talking knock offs and you put ebay before Amazon?
That said, I got a whole Wii U on eBay for like $150, it came with a handful of games, and because most of them weren't in good shape the seller refunded some more money off the top, no questions asked. Gamepad's sticks showed some wear, but the whole thing works flawlessly.
And although I do get skeeved out by used controllers I'd buy a used real one on eBay before I bought a new knockoff one anywhere. Just buy a triwing screwdriver too, open it up, take it all apart and take a toothbrush with dish soap and water to all the plastic and rubber parts. In my experience it's never worth saving $20-30 by buying a knockoff controller, but real ones last long enough that if you're REALLY on a budget you can just buy a used one and clean the shit out of it.
Like people said, the real thing's battery lasts forever, too. It uses a 3DS battery. I charged mine once or twice since I got my Wii U a few months ago, and I play it at least a few times a week.
