Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Nintendo Switch GameCube Style PowerA Wired Controller in Purple by Piyush Ventura

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is an amplified GC controller!

Feels great initially, just like the Gamecube controller, same quality and feel. The face buttons are nice and clicky, the left analog stick feels a little smaller, and now the R and L buttons, which were just a Z button, feel bigger and nicer than the super-small original Z button on the Shoulder. The big gray shoulder buttons are now called the ZL and ZR, which have been scaled down a lot and are also now only digital, so they're not as good as the original GC design. In addition, the cross is larger and feels more comfortable. The C Stick is the only thing I'm disappointed with, it doesn't stick to it like the Nintendo GC, it's just hard plastic that doesn't work that well. for games that require precise aiming. It could also be a bit more stable, but the original GC sticks were pretty darn stable too. That's really my only negative point. Tested with Windows 10 Bluetooth and it synced very quickly, worked great with the dolphin emulator so that's a big plus. If you've always liked the GC controller, get this thing, it's worth it. Hope this lasts long. Update: The analog joystick on the PC does not work properly. Holding the joystick all the way to the side doesn't register it fully, hence turning becomes slow in some games or doesn't work at all in some menus. I have attached a picture of the properties. However, a firmware update can fix this problem.
