Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Gamecube Controller, Classic Wired Controller for Nintendo Wii and Gamecube (Blue & Red-2Pack) by Paul Beach

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great for the price (upgrade is ok)

They're not as good as the original controller, but they're a great replacement or backup for everyday gaming. Lighter weight, clicky buttons, and less rumble are the biggest differences, and analog sticks are very sensitive, making them unsuitable for smash or shooters that require high precision. If you need it, shut your nose and buy a $50 OEM controller. But for Zelda and Mario Kart, this is a fantastic replacement for the original controller at a fraction of the price. [update] After a few weeks of moderate use, the B button on one of them tends to get stuck and stay pressed. I'm sure it's fixable, but I haven't tried it yet. And the analog stick sensitivity of both controllers is very poor, with a very small range of motion from 0 to 100. This makes anything that requires aiming or precision very difficult. Only downgrading to 3 stars as it's so cheap and they really work but you definitely get what you pay for.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Upgrades available
