Selected User Reviews For Hyperkin "Admiral" Premium BT Controller for N64 (White) - Nintendo 64

The manufacturing is cheap, but the function is good
4/5

There are three types of third-party N64 controllers I own Among them are the Hyperkin Admiral with a 64-bit slot (this one), the Retrobit Tribute64, as well as In my opinion, the Admiral is the best of the 3. This statement should be accompanied by As far as the controller itself is concerned, it works well. (In my opinion) the stick is the best of the three My opinion differs from other reviews that suggest that the stick is too sensitive due to its more natural feel. You've done an excellent job with it. As for the buttons, they all work as they should and I'm glad the Z button looks like what we use to call R2 and B. Those other controllers do not have L2. The "good" is that it paired right up to the receiver and I played with it a lot and did not notice any lag from my perspective. I found the material for the shell/casing of the controller to be by far the least expensive out of the 3 I've mentioned. The underside of my wedding ring was marked by my wedding ring - there were some subtle marks on the finish As I used the controller more and more, I realized that it would get worse on the left side of the controller. This controller doesn't compare well with the other two in terms of casing materials, with the Tribute64 going out on top I would point out the last negative thing I can think of as a nit-pick The receiver seems to stick out too far from the front of the console, which is my only complaint. There is an intuitive manner that facilitates having the memory card slot right on the console, which reduces controller costs and manufacturing nuances, as well as the fact it has to stick OUT from the console so it is not interfered with by That makes sense to me. My only issue is that I don't really enjoy In my opinion, I would have opted to leave out the memory card slot altogether. If Hyperkin had chosen a higher quality font, I think his game would be significantly better A shell made of quality materials would make a great controller, even if the price had to be raised to use a different material in the mold. However, aside from that, the controller has been solid I am extremely happy with it! Thanks a lot!.

You really need to try it! This product had a lot of comments, so I studied it for quite some time
5/5

I downloaded the manual to learn a lot ahead of time. While all of the buttons are there, they aren't the same as

So I bought one to have a look at it. I really like how it works. We quickly figured out how to access the controls, and I stopped playing with my daughter's N64 because of the problem of cables getting tripped over. This was a tragedy because my daughter and I played a lot of games together, and we loved that I have converted the signal to HDMI so it can be connected to my HD television and it looks fine. I played Diddy Kong Racing with it and it worked fine. Even though it's been fun for a while, it's still just as fun now. It was a genuine pleasure to play one of my N64 favorites again with a controller that worked flawlessly and felt very comfortable in my hands. The N64 should be no longer contained by its old memory cards, as you can now use your SD cards and transfer your games to them. Discover a truly great console again, or for the first time.

I highly recommend getting this product.

If you connect the original console, it works fine, but anything else is a waste of time
3/5

In most cases, the controller works exceptionally well with a n64, but if you do want it to be compatible with Android and pc, stop right now and order something else. It has extremely slow input speeds and sometimes just ignores any key or button pressed. The controller itself feels nice, the design is sleek, has dual Z buttons in a nice space. But I was heartbroken when I tried it on my phone, I thought maybe it would perform better on a computer, and NOPE, it was According to my understanding, the Bluetooth in the controller is really low quality and works effectively only when paired with the receiver/transmitter inside the adapter you use with the proprietary controller connection on the console. You can use it with a N64 console, however if you want it for emulation, don't buy it, USE A XBOX ONE CONTROLLER FOR ZERO lag when entering the game.

It is difficult to use the analog stick because it is so sensitive, but otherwise it is a fantastic controller
5/5

There are so many things I love about this controller, from the button layout to the size and overall look. A D-shaped controller is presented to correct the misplacement of the D-shaped connectors This pad is found on Hori and Retro-style consoles This bit is dedicated to you. In the case of the Nvidia Shield, it is easy to adjust the sensitivity, so I roll back both the X and Y axis by a whopping 50%. The default sensitivity of the stick is just too high,.

This isn't too bad at all
4/5

The program does not work properly with Transfer Pak. Ideally, I wish it was designed like the original controller, but this seems to be the best option at the moment if you really want to use the controller with your original Nintendo 64 console. Using the transfer pak on the N64 does not work with the dongle. As far as playing Pokémon Stadium goes, I have tried using my Pokémon yellow cartridge. When I tried it with my original N64 controller, it started up in no time, but I had to pull the pak in and out as well as turn the console on and off about 10 times to I had to restart my console about five minutes into my game when it happened.

A controller that can function as an N64 controller and as a A long-time dream of mine has become a reality, and I love it! Having an N64 stored on my media center is extremely convenient for me, since I no longer have to worry about my dogs chewing on the cord or accidentally pulling it off
4/5

As the buttons are positioned ever so slightly differently, the layout is a little different than the Tribute64 or Hori pad, but as you can see, it's not as bad as the Turin 64 or the Hori pad. Also nice is that the controller itself functions both as an N64 and PC controller however, it would have been nice for the bluetooth receiver to work with other controllers like Dualshock 4 and Switch Pro as well. Two bonus points were awarded for the fact that both Z buttons actually worked.

The software works perfectly
5/5

It seems to work perfectly Unlike some others who have reported sensitivity issues, I do not have an issue with the control stick. As an example, I had no problem having Mario walk very slowly in Super Mario 64 (in areas where tiptoeing was needed).
