    This is a great controller. Even though it is not first-party, it feels just like the original GameCube controller. The buttons aren't too stiff or noisy.

    Great controller. Works on PC, plug and play. Most games recognize the buttons and the rest you simply assign keys.

    Broken C Stick

    I bought 3 of these controllers for my switch and my brother got 2 for his. Out of the 5 controllers, 3 of them have the same problem with the c stick. In game, it reads as it constantly being dragged down. Out of the remaining 2, one broke entirely and there is rattling within the controller so I assume something came loose. All of them were handled properly and never dropped. The controllers are poorly made and it’s a shame there is no alternative controller available. For only 1/5 controllers to still be working after a mere 3 months use, it’s pitiful.

    I don't use this on a switch. I use it for computer games. Windows 10 recognized it and installed the drivers automatically.
