Responsiveness is spot on. Just like the GameCube, but nice and wireless. It's a fantastic quality controller!

Using for Nintendo switch, it was a solid and cheap option as a backup controller to my expensive joycons. Perfect for fans of the GameCube control style.

First as a standard controller: It works fine, for your Breath of the Wild, sure, button layout maybe weird, but it has motion control so it makes up for it. Mario Kart? you need 3 buttons, its fine. The Dpad, is FAR better than the OG GameCube dpad, no doubt. As a Smash Bros controllers It resolves ever problem I have! I have several Gamecube controllers, but I did not want to shell out to buy the converter from USB to GC. only because I want to play with the GC the same way i would my Pro Controller. Take the controller and the switch. Thats all. But with a converter, I need ports, cable management, #No. Its a gamecube controller at the end of the day, i mends with my fairly larger hands, it plays as it should, no more, no less. they provide the 2nd bumper as the classic did not have the a 2nd bumper (or Z in the GC time) and includes the 4 face buttons. The controller feels a TINY bit cheaper than a standard controller, but I have come to the conclusion that its only because i missing the cord. As my mind is used to twiddling the cable. The only other thing that would have pushed this product to a "MUST OWN FOR ANY SWITCH OWNER" would have been a rechargeable battery. The triggers are not analog, but its something I can do without, and this is me reaching on the complaint department, but that tiny rattle sound the sync button makes. Again, that is me reaching. I dont notice most of the time, but it something I immediately noticed as i was taking it out of the box in a dramatic way. 9.9/10 for anyone that plays smash bros, does not include NFC, but at 265 hours of this game, i've used it.......like once. For the convenience of grabbing the switch tablet and only this controller, is worth the price of entry. Hands down.

I'm very happy with these controllers, PowerA always has done a great job in my opinion and these don't disappoint. The updates to the original GameCube controllers are great, with the addition of the left bumper, the +, -, Home and Capture buttons, and the updated joysticks (including the c stick!) mean these can be viable controllers for even modern games. The enhanced D-pad feels great too. I had expected to raid the battery drawer to power these bad boys, but good guy PowerA put batteries in the box, ready to pair and play... which I did! I already feel a huge improvement compared to some old GameCube controllers I had kicking around. The buttons are quick and responsive with no noticeable input lag (at least to my casual eye). And being wireless makes me less nervous with my not so graceful pets around. Can't wait to take these to my NYE Smash party! Thanks for the great sticks PowerA, I'll be back when I need more!

Let me just say I love this controller, not only does it look cool with the umbreon black but it has everything that I want in a controller. I grew up on the gamecube so for me this felt like the closest to an OG gamecube controller. It has a decent build quality but it's not perfect. One gripe i have with the controller is the shoulder buttons. Now they arent a huge deal but they do have some travel to them. For super smash bros it does sort of affect gameplay but if you get used to it its not a big deal. For me i came from playing smash with the PDP fightpad which have buttons for shoulder buttons so it did take getting use to this controller. The travel on the shoulder buttons arent nearly as bad as the older model of this controller. This is definitely more updated and better. Another thing that people might not like is that it takes 2 AA batteries. It comes with them in the box but some people might not like the fact that it takes batteries. What I love is that powerA gives you a warranty on their website. All you have to do is register your controller once you get it. Overall one month and this controller is always my Go to for most the games i play. In case you guys were curious, the games I play with this controller are: pokemon sword and shield, stardew valley, mario maker 2, super mario odyssey. This controller works great for those games. I would not recomment this controller for any shooters, but any other 2D and some 3D games i think that this controller works great. It is an good deal especially if you can get it on sale. Its not for everyone but if you grew up on gamecube and want a gamecube feel for your games this is amazing.

They aren’t as sturdy as a pro controller, nor do they feature vibrations. Despite that it’s still a good buy if you’re looking for a wireless gamecube controller, I especially like the fact that it has more than just a central pause button like an authentic wired gamecube controller you’d use with an adapter. My only “complaints” I already knew about going in so I wasn’t really disappointed. It uses batteries and isn’t rechargeable, and is a little light. But on the plus side you have home and capture buttons, a sync button, is completely wireless, and has those nice joystick notches that gamecube controllers have, also having bumpers on both sides is nice. Feel of a gamecube controller with modern functionality (minus using batteries lol).

As someone that has used their original GameCube controller for a long while, I can say that this thing nails the feel of the classic while updating it to be compatible with future titles on the Switch. I've played a few hours on Smash Ultimate with this thing and can give the following opinions: Pros: -Pretty much everything feels solid. The buttons have little to no wiggle and the control/C sticks feel great and sturdy. The ZR/ZL triggers have more wiggle, but from memory the original GameCube controllers had the same tolerances, so this is not a big issue for me. - Some Improvements in ergonomics and convenience. The Y button is now level with the rest of the buttons with it now being slightly raised. The D-pad isn't sticky like it was on some Gamecube controllers and feels great. -Battery indicator. This should be a given and would be unforgivable if it wasn't built in, but regardless i'm glad it's here. This brings me to... - Batteries. Now hear me out! Due to this requiring batteries, you'll need to swap them out when juice gets low. In my opinion, this is a benefit if you plan on using this for years to come. Rechargeable usb controllers will need to be taken apart and you will need to source the OEM battery after the old one starts degrading. With this setup, you can count on your controller to last as long as you have good rechargeable batteries. Panasonic Eneloop batteries are recommended as the best, so I went with these. They are ~$18 dollars right now on amazon. CONS: -No NFC, Rumble, or IR. The last two aren't really deal breakers for most smash bros or video game players, but if you are invested in the features of amiibo, this isn't the controller for you. I'm the type of person that doesn't even take the figurines out of their boxes, so none of these exclusions matter much to me. - Long term reliability. Although these are officially licensed by Nintendo, PowerA is the manufacturer of these controllers and many other licensed Switch accessories. We won't know how reliable these are until many years down the line when we start to break them in. I will make sure to update this review if anything changes. In conclusion, if you are a fan of the GameCube controller like I am, you should consider picking this up! The nostalgia hit me hard when I took it out of the box and that says something about this device.

I just got the Pikachu one for my wife. She is a Pikachu fan. She absolutely loves the controller, as for me not so much. I like everything about the controller except for the batteries. To me it would have been nice if it had the built-in rechargeable battery like the other PowerA ones have, but my wife loves it because it is lighter weight with the 2 AA batteries in it. It works as it should. I gave it 5 stars because my wife is the primary user of it and loves it. Great job PowerA on this controller.

I bought this item before for my ex and we shared it. It felt identical to the wired GameCube controller, and I truly enjoyed playing on it for hours with Pokémon. I left the first one with him and decided to get another for myself. I love the battery option since I have a ton of rechargeable batteries and can switch them out as soon as they die. The weight is nice and it easily connects to my Switch. Smash Bros. and Mario Kart are great to get into with this controller! I’ll definitely repurchase this if it’s misplaced. It was ordered 6/11 and I chose free shipping, though it arrived 6/13 whereas confirmation stated 6/16. I’m extremely pleased.
