    Great gaming controller. My go to controller type for smash brothers and love the experience. Wish it had rumble but very good responsive controller.

    Old-school GameCube light controller for the Nintendo switch it’s wired so you can’t sit too far away and it’s OK but honestly if you’re playing switch games it’s better to just get a switch control controller

    Controls well for smash as well as other games. Extremely long cord is great for docked mode. Controller is responsive and works as it should for Smash but feels a little flimsy.

    Been using this for well over a year and a half to some PC games as well as my nintendo switch, and both work perfectly fine. The cable that it comes with is more than long enough for my needs, especially since my PC and switch are like 3 feet away from me. I bought it at the price of $25, instead of the $15 it is right now. So if you need a gamecube controller but don't want to blow a lot of cash on a "genuine" gamecube controller, then this is a great buy.

    Great corded remote option. Budget friendly and love the retro design. Do yourself a favor and get one, even if it’s just a backup option for your other controllers.

    Classic controller, enough said. Buy it for smash brothers, playing with the small switch controllers is hard but possible. I also play Mario kart with it, also easier according to younger siblings.

    PowerA is so awesome. Fantastic build quality and always reliable. I HIGHLY recommend all their controllers. This one feels accurate to the GC controller it emulates and you can even hook it up to a PC.
