Gamecube Controller, Classic Wired Controller for Wii Nintendo Gamecube (Purple)

I just received this today, so if something goes wrong again, I'll update this. Because I'd been playing Ultimate for so long, my regular controller had started to develop mushy buttons. I misplaced my tri-color. I didn't want to dismantle the wing and instead chose to use a third-party controller. I played a few games with it today, so this review will most likely be most useful to people who want to play Smash. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, the official controller is:
- Short hops with the X and Y buttons are more difficult to execute, and sliding from Y/X to A to execute those short hop aerials is more uncomfortable. It's still good for wavelanding, rar bairs, and whatever else you want to do with it. It's just a little unsettling, to be honest. I prefer the mushy buttons on my official controller to the snappy buttons on this one, but only time will tell if I can break it in and make it better.
- The tops of the buttons are flat, allowing you to feel the edges of the buttons more clearly. I didn't realize the official controller's XY buttons were slightly domed until I felt the XY buttons on this one.
- There is no softness to the Z button. The Z button on the official controller is supported by a piece of metal that protrudes from the shell. It works in this case. I also do short hops with the Z button, which, while possible with this controller, necessitates sliding on less of the Z button or I'll full hop.
- The D- The pad doesn't register as many inputs as it used to, and I'm afraid this is true of all the buttons as well, but I wasn't paying attention because I was playing on wifi.
- The control stick is made of a material that has a similar feel to a pencil eraser. This isn't a problem for me, but it isn't as soft as I'd like. The c- The top of the stick is flatter and less soft than the original. The octagonal gates are also more prominent, which is a desirable feature. It appeals to my tastes.
- Because the L/R triggers are digital, you won't be able to short hop with them (and you probably won't be able to light shield in melee).
- The shell's paint isn't quite as smooth, but that's a minor flaw. br>br>If you just want to play Gamecube games without getting into too much technical detail, this is a great controller. It's a lovely color that goes well with everything. This is something I could see myself using to play Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. br>br>However, if you try to do anything else with it, all of the minor differences in the design (the snapping, the awkward flat buttons) will really add up. Also, given the number of reviews claiming that it dies at random, this isn't the type of controller you'd bring to a tournament. For the sake of science, I'll continue to play matches with this, and I'll update if anything comes up.

The buttons are clicky, but the joysticks are reasonably solid; the overall feel of the controller is also quite good; it's lighter and made of a less expensive plastic, but it's not bad. br>br>It's also pink. Even if you're just trying to play some gamecube but you lost your soul looking up controllers on ebay, (I am here), it works just fine for reliving my memories playing my childhood gamecube games, but that z button click nearly knocked it down an extra star.

I'm just learning how to play Super Smash Bros. , and I didn't want to spend too much money on the expensive controllers. It doesn't have the most sensitive buttons, but it's perfect for people who don't want to compete in Super Smash Bros. yet. The attached cable is approximately 1 meter (3 feet) in length. I like it because it's pink and has a blank middle, which allows me to personalize it a little.

It does not have a shabby or cheap feel to it. br>br>I've had a lot of fun with it, and it installs as a generic joystick control that works with almost any game on my PC. When the plug-and-play method did not work, I used the included installer disc. When I plug in the controller after I've installed it, it's automatically recognized. br>br>I mapped the buttons to match the Gamecube controller, and it works great with the Dolphin and Nestopia emulators. There are no issues that I have. br>br>Despite mixed reviews, I purchased this flat-screen television. It doesn't work well because it doesn't work. This $10 purchase has brought me great joy. This is the most accurate replica of the original GC controller. Why pay more if you're just trying things out? br>br>I'll update my review if it goes crazy and breaks.

This is a control I prefer to aesthetics over anything else. I needed a replacement and found this for a reasonable price. It works perfectly with my GameCube and old Wii. When pressing the buttons, you can tell the quality by how loud they are at first, but after a few uses, they soften up a bit.
