They appreciate that it resembles the original GameCube controller and works well for playing Super Smash Bros.

    About the best switch controller

    This controller brings the nostalgia of when I played the GameCube as a kid. The only problem I have is the buttons and sticks feel a little cheap. When you push the buttons there is a little play in them before a very noticeable click. The mechanics of the buttons just are not as smooth as other controllers of this generation. Still, as far as switch controllers go this is definitely my favorite as the joy cons and pro controller are just not comfortable to use.

    At this point, it's hard to imagine playing Smash with anything different than this PowerA controller. This device is so similar to the original Gamecube controller, that you can hardly tell the difference when you are playing. The build quality and responsive is excellent. PowerA has really stepped up their game in this generation.

    Best Wireless GameCube Switch Controller

    The price is good, and the controller functions well. I am the kind of person who is physically incapable of playing Smash without a GC controller, so this was an essential for me. My only complaint is that the buttons feel stiffer than the original GC controllers. Although this is much more polished than off-brand controllers of the early 2000s, it still feels a little cheap in comparison to the original controllers.
