  • It's a very comfortable controller, and awesome for Smash Bros Ultimate.
Style: Mario
This controller is slightly bigger than the original Game Cube controller. This is perfect if you have big hands like me. If you were considering the Nintendo Switch Pro controller, you should definitely get this one. Not only is it cheaper, but the quality of this controller is amazing. Because of how this joy stick is designed, it feels like there's grip to it. The buttons and control do not feel cheap at all. I prefer this controller to the original Game Cube Controller, because the top buttons on this controller will allow you to block and grab fairly fast. The Game Cube top buttons take longer to press. This controller will take you a few matches to get used to it, but you will love it. It's very ergonomic. The bottom of the controller has grip, which is made out of the controllers plastic. To me, that's the only negative about the controller, because the grip feels a bit like sand paper. You should get this controller because it is wired, which reduces input lag. Wireless controllers have input lag. The overall quality of this controller is very solid. ... show more

  • surprisingly great feel
Style: Pikachu
i love it. beautiful box to add to my collection and a LOT of people say this has a cheaper feel compared to the original gamecube controller/powerA and ive tried both powerA wired and wireless im not sure if it's because it's a little bit bigger overall or if its the grip on the handles but this thing feels really sturdy(same sturdiness as a wireless powera) but i bought it because these have t3 sticks(great sticks and easy to replace), the turbo button, and overall just for the gamecube style design. so far it's done me well in smash already :) got the pikachu edition as well and added pics since i haven't seen anyone else here do so. if u are inbetween controllers for smash and this is in your budget i recommend it :) i will come back and edit my post if anything happens too although i plan to mod it with led's since the back is transparent so wish me luck! ... show more

  • Really good for Smash.
Style: Zelda
Bought this for Smash Ultimate. It works really well the buttons feel responsive and not too clicky, and the triggers are digital (would be bad for Mario Kart) and have a small travel time. The sticks feel close too the old school GC controller and the whole thing feels real good in the hand. The turbo button might be a down side if you play in locals. Some Tournament Officials do not allow turbo button and some do. If you don't go to local's or they are fine with it. ... show more

  • Z buttons are NOT an issue
Style: Pikachu
I rarely leave reviews, but I had to leave one here because most of the negative reviews here are unwarranted. I almost didn't buy this controller because of them, and I'm glad I did buy it. The main thing I want to bring up is that the Z buttons are not analog. Of course they aren't -- this is a Switch controller. The official Nintendo brand pro controller doesn't have analog Z buttons. Joycons don't have analog Z buttons. As far as I know, the Switch doesn't even accept analog signals for those buttons. Having analog buttons on this controller would be incompatible with the system and with every Switch game in existence. If you have a pro controller, go press the Z buttons on it -- this controller's Z buttons feel exactly like that. T controller feels pretty much exactly the way I hoped it would feel. I played hundreds and hundreds of hours of GameCube as a teen. If this controller wasn't good, I would know it. That's why I was so hesitant to buy it. However, I am not disappointed. The buttons are good and responsive. The sticks both feel good. I really don't have anything to complain about. There are only two things I would change: add rumble, and add an internal, rechargeable battery that charges with USB C exactly like the pro controller. ... show more

  • It's a decent controller.
Style: Zelda
It's been a little bit over year since I've purchased this controller, and now is the time that I feel confident to tell the experience I had this controller. As the headline says, it's a decent controller -- it truly is. I had a friend recommend it to me to buy so I did because I was getting into Smash and I felt that using joycons weren't going to cut it if I wanted to up my game as a Link main (LINKS RISE UP). When I first got this controller, it was pretty amazing. The controller was pretty responsive and I liked the feel of of it. The body of the controller is fully made of plastic. The back of the controller has grip, which I liked, but that too was also plastic. The controller had good snapback and most of all buttons were functional. The controller actually kind of simulated a gamecube styled controller very well regardless. The durability of the controller, however, is a different story. This is where I feel that I need to let you future purchasers know before making this purchase. Over the span of a few month with rigorous use of the controller for Smash, the direction stick began to drift. At first, I didn't mind it since I was used to drifting joycons. Overtime, that got worse. The drift on this controller could put Tokyo Drift to shame. I couldn't do diagonal inputs anymore and I would do misinputs frankly because of the direction stick not inputting what I want it to do. This made doing tech kind of hard to do and it would frustrate me because what I expect to happen just did not happen at all. I don't know if it was just my controller, but the c-stick is kind of dysfunctional. I use my c-stick for tilts in Smash and frankly, I would run up to someone and flick my c-stick and NO INPUT WOULD REGISTER. No matter how hard I flicked or multiple times I flicked the c-stick, the tilt attack would not come out. The times when it does, it'll be very late like two to three seconds afterwards. I felt it was kind of unreliable to use the c-stick. Fast forward to 9 months in where the drifting got so bad that I had no control over it and it took banging my controller on a surface to get it to stop, the impossible happen. I MANAGED TO FRY MY ZR BUTTON. It was due to a little static I had on my finger, and when I picked up my controller, my ZR button got the brunt of it. It was that day forth that I knew the buttons were DIGITAL inputs instead of ANALOG inputs. My ZR button was my grabbing button and I had reprogram myself to use the grab button with ZL. This was also the time I've learned about the turbo feature. Not only did I play Smash, but I also play Asphalt 9, a racing game that uses ZR to accelerate. I was very conflicted when I found out that my ZR button just gave out due to a little static, but it was enough to fry the input of it. I used the turbo button for it until I learned that Asphalt had an auto-accelerate feature. Turbo mode had like three modes before toggling off, so I would adjust accordingly. There's also some red/orange turbo mode feature as well? The manual tells us about it, but I really never cared for turbo that much. I saw it as a useless option unless this whole ordeal kind of went down. Now since I had the turbo feature set to my ZR button (which somehow worked just for the turbo feature), sometimes in Smash, mashing out of grabs could enable the turbo feature if you're not careful. This lead to me grabbing, spotdodging, AND rolling repeatedly in battle (honestly I had one fight with a quickplay Luigi and that Luigi player waited so patiently for me to stop rolling and grabbing. I wish they knew what was happening. I have a video of it as well I believe.). Whenever I start doing that, I have to look at my controller to see if I accidentally triggered turbo mode somehow and have to stop it as quickly as possible. To me, the turbo feature was both a blessing and a curse. You could do without it, to be quite honest. ON THE PC The controller works very well for PC. You might have to remap your buttons, but it works nicely! It kind of registers as an XBOX controller for some reason. If your controller drifts, then expect to see some drifting on your PC as well. The control pad ( the + looking pad with the arrows) was something I used for TEKKEN 7. I honestly did not have much of a problem with it. I did not reliably trust using the direction stick; I felt more control in the control pad. Sometimes if I mash too much to tech off the ground in TEKKEN, the turbo button might trigger and release my rage art (because of course, it's tied to my ZR button), so I have to look down at my controller and stop turbo mode from turboing it up. Oh, and the rubber on my controller is wearing out immensely. You might want to invest in getting rubber caps and good maintenance of the controller itself if you plan to have it for more than a year. I kind of rode this controller until the brakes fell off. I feel that I covered everything I wanted, but I'll edit this if I forgot something vital to tell. I've debated giving this controller a 3 star due to some of the complications I have, but HORI is a pretty nice company and this is also my first controller for the Switch/PC. I'm currently using a new controller by PDP, which has analog inputs and generally more smooth and snappier, but I'll miss the feel that was my first controller. TL;DR: Controller is nice, but the lifespan could be short depending how you use it. Plastic feel. It has digital inputs -- beware of static. Drifting may occur after heavy use. It's compatible with PC usage and games. It has a turbo feature, but very niche applications. Link is pretty cool. :) ... show more

  • Exceptional Quality, Modest Price.
Style: Zelda
Leagues better when compared to a PowerA model. High quality material and buttons. Minimal travel time to depress buttons into a response. The addition of the dual function turbo button is satisfying icing on the cake. Well worth the price tag of nearly 40 USD.
