    This controller works pretty well for games like Smash, but upon first holding it and pressing the buttons, it was nothing like the original GameCube controller. Of course, I didn't expect it to be, but the quality of the controller was not exactly what I was expect. It works perfectly fine though with no problems, but if you are a Smash player, there might be some better options out there.

    The build quality is as you would imagine I think it could be a little better plastic but for the price it's a really good bargan.

    A comforting feel, but it does not fully mimic a game cube controller. It feels different. The controller feels stiff, and I feel a little bit of input lag exists. Good for nostalgia, but not for performance.

    There's a significant amount of lag even though it's wired compared to the original smash controllers so that matters.

    This is a great controller. The only thing keeping me from a 5th star is the grip on it. I feel like the handles are a little to close together for my comfort.

    This controller is good, it responds well but on the lighter side so can feel cheap in hands. If you like heavier controllers then this one is not for you.
