    I bought this for someone else who grew up with a GameCube system and he really enjoys it! Certain games just feel better with this controller and we haven't had any issues with input. It's also actually helped as a work around to the joy con drift issue at times.

    I grew up playing GameCube and its honestly really amazing that the Switch brought back the GameCube controller to use when gaming, Definitely brings back memories. Only thing I wish was that it was wireless but overall I like it.

    Being able to use the format of the gamecube again has made it that much more fun to play the same games on my switch again. Thank you

    Bought this for Smash, as I never had it on Gamecube as a kid. Took a little to get used to, but plenty responsive and feels good in the hand. Much better to pay for this instead of the wireless for $50 with no rumble or rechargability.

    It feels pretty similar to the regular gamecube controller, while heavier at the same time! Works pretty well with ultimate, and its nice to have a controller that feels like a gamecube controller, but is useable in other switch games! 1. HD rumble/rumble support would have been nice.

    Very good it has lasted way more than others but it still starting to mess up. But at this point is to be expected. Nothing like the original's endurance.

    Superior button layout compared to switch pro controller. Who could complain about a Big centered action button, subside back button, and handy-dandy alt action top buttons!

    I bought this for my brother-in-law, and he is still using it with no problems. It's a bummer that it wired, but it plugs right into the USB on the Switch dock and feels pretty close to a standard GC controller (though not QUITE the same.) A solid purchase for a decent price.

    I LOVE how they upgraded the compatibility of the GameCube controller to go with the Switch - it helps old school parents like me and also helps old school kids who have parents like me. Haha! Meaning: you and your kids could play together without "too much" change for us 'rents ;)
