Looks cool, doesn't feel good.

Looks good but doesn't feel good. This was really fun installing and as you can see in the picture I also bought a shell kit from the same company and I like the look of both the LEDs and the shell replacement but the new buttons Seems a bit odd Compare the 3rd party MadCats controller from the good old days to any real console manufacturer controller. In fact, I took the controller apart again and replaced the new sticks with the original ones as I didn't like the new ones at all. Not to mention that analog stick movement means that the LED ring that wraps around the analog mechanism inside the controller and illuminates the base of the replacement analog stick will constantly pop up no matter how well you set it up. I basically just cut them completely off the circuit board and, as mentioned earlier, put the original Nintendo analog sticks back on. The D-Pad is also very sketchy. I won't deduct too many points for that, as the original developed by Nintendo didn't feel as good in this controller either. It's a really cool idea and I honestly like how the buttons look, but the face buttons and d-pad are going to be a bit cheaper and I'd suggest using the original analog sticks.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
