I love having the Gamecube Controller for the Switch. It has made playing Smashbros so much easier as I am more familiar with the Gamecube layout.
This was a great purchase, and I am very glad that I made it.

Alright so, I purchased this controller without hesitation because 1.) Nostalgia – Gamecube Style Controller. 2.) It’s wireless. 3.)Its awesome for super smash Bros. I immediately fell in love with it the second I pulled it out of the box because it’s so cool to have a GameCube controller in my hands again. The second thing I thought is Wow! Why is this control so light? Well turns out it needs 2 AA batteries to power on (which are included) and it doesn’t have any rumble motors in it. Having to use AA batteries is not that big a deal for me, honestly I prefer it sometimes because you can swap batteries out without having to be tethered to your console while it charges. But the lack of any rumble motors makes the controller feel cheap and light. All that aside, the buttons are actually quite premium feeling and responsive. The GameCube controller was / is one of the best controllers ever designed for a game console. They have nice big comfortable grips and shoulder buttons. You can game on this thing for hours without much discomfort. Every game I’ve tried with it so far works flawlessly. The C stick actually feels quite nice when playing shooters and the giant A button makes for an overall pleasant experience when clicking thorough Nintendo menus lol. This controller is a must for any super smash Bros / GameCube owner. My only complaint is that this controller is a bit expensive considering that it has no rumble feature, no NFC chip and no ir functions.
If you can live without any of those 3 functions.then I highly recommend this controller.

The controller is great , But sometimes you need to disconnect it whenever it starts drifting. It hardly does that but when it dies either take oit the batteries or disconnect and reconnect it. The controller is pretty good and works with most games like I played Smash bros ultimate , Fire emblem three houses, The NES and SNES services on the Nintendo switch and even Persona 5 scramble demo! This is a good controller that works with most games

This is a good control for those who like or need the gamecube layout for their controller. The only thing I have noticed is the signal connection between it and the switch is blocked it can not work properly.

Loved the Gamecube controller when I was younger, and it is great to have a Switch controller that looks/feels like one. Connects and acts just like a Pro Controller, so it is very effortless to get set up. It does not have rumble, but that doesn’t bother me at all.
This is also a great alternative to the Pro Controller since I play a lot of PC games with an XBox One controller, and it is nice have a different button layout so my muscle memory doesn’t get messed up since on the Pro Controller, A B X Y are backwards compared to an XBox One controller

I bought this controller to see what it was like to play the GameCube back in the day. I never had one so I picked this up to play with Smash Ultimate and other games as well. So far I have love this controller and have used it more than the actual pro controller. Yes it takes batteries but this is easily overlooked. The look and feel of the controller is fine as well. The buttons feel fine and the control sticks work well for me too. This is an overall good controller!

I bought this because my joy cons were experiencing the drifting issue. This has proved to be a valuable purchase as it replaces those annoying controllers. Really easy to use- I recommend buying rechargeable batteries with this 🙂
