    Comparing it to the original GameCube controller, it feels pretty much the same. The sticks feel nice and springy, the buttons feel the same, the triggers are lighter, and it has Bluetooth. The things I don't really like are the shoulder buttons, the lack of rumble, and the use of regular batteries. The "Z" shoulder buttons are very high versus the original. The lack of rumble is and rechargeable batteries disappointing, especially since the Joy-Cons offer both in a smaller package. Overall, great for a modern GameCube Wavebird reskin.

    I really like this controller, it’s comfortable to use and I like the way the buttons are set up. Name brand batteries last several weeks in this controller even with daily use. Warning: if you play the Switch handheld and with this controller it is somewhat difficult to adjust to the difference between the two versions of controllers.

    It’s funny how some things live in your memory. I bought this controller because I used to think it was the best controller ever designed. After getting it and playing through some games it leave a bit too be desired. The button pushes (especially the triggers) are way too long before activity registers in the game. That may sound nit picky but for some games it make a big difference and your fingers And hands will fatigue much quicker. It’s a small gripe for an otherwise cool controller.
