Review on VOYEE PC Controller Review: Compatible with Gamecube & Windows 7/8/10 (Black) by Jim Polacek

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Some important functions are missing.

This product certainly looks like a normal Gamecube controller, looks like the original and is made of good plastic, but it lacks some things that make the GC controller compare to its predecessor N64 have made really innovative . As far as I can tell, there aren't any real motors in the handles to create the rumble; This isn't really a problem for many games, as rumble was primarily used for damage and didn't make much of a difference in gameplay without it. Also of note is that some of the buttons feel stiff, which is likely due to the tactile switch they use. The Z button doesn't have a spring either, so it just wobbles in place, but the button registers every time it's pressed from any angle. However, what REALLY changes the way you play the game is that they don't have an analog control button on their shoulder. GC controllers have some of the earliest examples of what we call "triggers" in modern controllers, and many games have taken great advantage of this by having two separate controls; Examples include Super Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime 1 and 2, and Luigi's Mansion, just from my personal experience. Without these controls, the controller actually gets in the way of gameplay. If you plan to use it with emulators and don't need an equivalent or standalone solution (maybe some racing pedals?), you can buy it for any purpose. for this you need two joysticks in the xbox configuration. If you're looking for a Gamecube controller that works exactly like the original, don't buy this controller.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Annoys me
