New functions and forms are notoriously difficult to imitate, making it nearly impossible to discover a fake. The analog sticks remain unchanged from the controller's original design (no axis binding, good positioning precision, low exterior dead zone, and a circulation error of less than 15 percent). In terms of performance and value, I find that no other controller comes close to the gamepad. You'll obtain low-quality sticks if you make only a modest profit. The Xbox and a few high-end controllers are the only ones with superior sticks, but they cost a fortune. I also recommend getting an 8bitdo adapter for your PC so you don't have to use an emulator and can get rid of the recirculation error completely. Switch it on and enjoy.
