Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Ultimate GameCube Controller: Nintendo Wii Compatible, Upgraded - 1 Pack, Black by Ray Gist

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It worked fine until the button got stuck

The build quality of this controller is almost the same as third party but slightly better. I can say a few things about him. Before I get into the actual review of the controller and how it works on my Wii, I should point out that I got it for a very specific purpose. I wanted to use it on my switch in portable mode via 8bitdo Gbros adapter but for some reason it *doesn't* work. Basically I didn't want to share my OEM controllers as I treat them with such care that I figured I'd find a third party that would meet my needs. It also doesn't work with my Switch GameCube Controller Adapter. If Cipon could get back to me on this issue and let me know if their controllers should work with these adapters I would be grateful. At least it worked on my Wii. I tested it with Super Smash Bros. melee and legacy XP. Face buttons are fully depressed. Sticks are solid. Everything fulfills its function. A lot of people complain that the Z button on third-party GameCube controllers is too loud, and this controller is no exception, but it's not really an issue for me. Keys. They click all the way down but don't give you the satisfying click that a standard GameCube controller gives you. It doesn't click at all. But then the Z button stopped working, something must have triggered for this controller to stop working, I'm not sure. I have never fallen over. I always left it on my Wii. (I have a Wii by the way) If I can be sure a replacement won't cause the same problem I'm happy to take up the offer as it's a great controller for friends to use when they drop by. . However, I want to be able to use it, and the Z key prevents smash gameplay as it puts your character in a permanent shield. The rating will be updated when the issue is resolved.
