I'm struggling to find a reason for this to exist. Its a bunch of cheap buttons, some pre-cut acrylic, and the speakers you see on every cheap device meant to look "cool". The 99 bucks doesn't even get you the Pi. The maker of this "kit" is laughing their way to the bank as they buy more parts from DX and toss them in a box. And good lord, why does it have speakers when you need to connect to a tv anyway.
Now I cant be so negative without a solution can I? Honestly, just buy a properly made joystick and (gasp!) plug it into your Pi. Not only will it be a proper well made set of controls you can use with you PC/MAC as well, you will only have the USB wire running from it, rather than the Pi's power source, and the hdmi wire.
