Review on NEXiLUX Wireless Controller Gamepad Nintendo by Patrick Lets

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cheap but effective

I bought this to have a professional controller for each of my Wii Us (one North American, one Japanese). The controller itself looks and feels cheap compared to the official Pro Controller, but it pairs perfectly with my console. I tested it in Super Mario World, a game that relies on precise platforming, and in MOTHER 3, which uses a rhythm-based combo system that requires precise timing. It worked almost perfectly for both; There is practically no input lag! Whenever Mario fell into the pit, it wasn't the controller, it was me. The controller charges with a USB-C cable (same as the Nintendo Switch Pro controller) and the buttons click, but if you can tolerate the Xbox controller clicking, that's no deal breaker. My understanding is that the battery life is around eight hours, which is a shame compared to the official Wii U Pro 80, but the PS4 controller's battery life is also around eight hours (or less!), so I'll live. decent controller for the price. Hopefully this review will put someone's mind at ease regarding this particular controller.
