Review on PDP Wired Fight Pad Nintendo U Wii U by Patrick Ross

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Basically awesome controller

I have to say this controller is really good. The buttons are responsive and the L and R buttons are nice and clicky. The analog sticks have a nice feel and the rib on the rubber makes them feel concave. The D-Pad is an amazing improvement over the GameCube and thankfully it's on the joystick so it can't be pushed like a button. Now for the two elephants in the room, the first of which are the ZL and ZR buttons. If they weren't converted to analog-style buttons they'd be awesome, but because they're trying to mimic the GameCube, the spring-loaded buttons mimic analog triggers, making them awkward to use. Another issue is the placement of the plus, minus, and home buttons. They're too close together, causing problems when you try to pause the game. For the price, it's a good cheap alternative to the classic controller, but if you have the money I'd recommend getting the Hori as it seems to solve those issues and has a turbo.

Pros
  • Official Nintendo License
Cons
  • Some bugs
