Review on ๐ŸŽฎ SAFFUN Classic N64 Controller - Wired USB PC Gamepad Joystick for Windows PC MAC Linux Raspberry Pi 3 Genesis Higan (Black) by Issac Burnett

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The buttons are noticeably different

The buttons (like the B, A and C buttons) are slightly taller than the real N64 controller, and the edges are less rounded and smooth. L, R and Z require more pressure than a real controller. Other keys also require more pressure, but this is most noticeable with the keys mentioned above. This makes it difficult to move your thumb over B and then A to press them in quick succession. If you're good at Mario 64 or another game that uses this technique (maybe Mario Party?), this can be a problem. Visually, it looks mostly the same, but the font used is slightly different, and the Nintendo logo appears to be missing. The Rumble Pak slot on the back doesn't have a connector, but they decided to put a latch in the case anyway. All around it's pretty decent, but you can tell this isn't an original Nintendo controller, both visually and mechanically. It can be used but will require a bit of customization if you're coming from the real thing.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Operating speed
