    This is a great controller for the price. The cored is long enough where it wont get in the way.

    The only way to play super smash bros. is with a GameCube controller so I would definitely recommend purchasing a couple of these!! They work great and you’ll game even better!

    Great controller and at a reasonable cost. The employee who directed me too it was very helpful. The lag time on this controller is much better than the pro controller.

    I'll admit that I've not used this controller myself, but I do know that the teenager that received it was over the moon about it. Told me that it was one of the best controllers he used, and was raving about how comfortable it was and the response of the "clicky triggers" as well. I've held the controller myself and will admit that it does provide a surprisingly ergonomic feel. Very pleased with the purchase, and very happy at how well the gift was received.

    I used to play smash bros on the GameCube with my brothers and I remember my little hands having an easy time playing with the original GameCube controllers. I was hesitant to buy this one for the switch because it looks slightly different, but I'm glad I did although it feels lighter it is still comfortable to play with.
