    Nothing wrong but it’s just not the same

    Nothing is wrong with the functionality of the controller at all. It just doesn’t feel like a GameCube controller in my hands with the same weight and sensitivity. Worth it for nostalgia but if you still actively game on a game cube like I do, there’s a definite difference in the feeling of the controller.

    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.

    Probably the best Gamecube controller outside of an original Gamecube controller. It's a little lighter but I'm impressed with the quality of it.

    Very well built. Controller has good buttons and everything feels just like the original Game Cube controller. The cord is very long, but I’d spring for the wireless one if you can afford it.

    even though this is a great controller works as it should and only way you should play super smash ultimate. pros a.) long usb cable b ) powera did a good job of remaking the controller overall from button placement to pushing down with your fingers. cons a.) feels to light in weight , no rumble feature b) feels like cheaply made plastic c.) could be cheaper for quality of it

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
