I ordered one and I personally feel that the buttons are still 3rd party feeling and aren't close to a Pro controller. Also, the buttons on the handles are really easy to get accidental presses on making them more harm than good. I also prefer the stick layout of the Pro controller to the PS style that 8bit Do offers. It's more comfortable in my opinion. You can pickup a Pro controller on sale at least once a month for the same price as the 8bit Do controllers ($50 or so).

Thank you guys for emphasizing the importance of button/stick feel. I don't understand how so many third-party companies haven't figured out how to make face buttons that feel good and consistent. The ideal ratios are there for the taking. Valve seemingly copied the Xbox face buttons for the Steam Deck and they feel amazing. Nintendo reproduced the N64 controller after two decades and it's indistinguishably perfect. Take some first-party controllers apart and take some damn measurements.

I've definitely fallen in love with the Nyxi GameCube joycons, they may not feel 100% like the GameCube controllers I still have after all these long years but they give me the button placement and feel I've been waiting for since Switch launched. Also doesn't hurt that the sticks are the new Hall sensor sticks rather than the cheap sticks first party controllers insist on using that drift fairly easily.
@TheDeathmail
@TheDeathmail Жыл бұрын
The only reason the 1st party controller sticks are cheap are because of how many first party controllers are being sold using the technology (and lots of other companies started liking them too). Weirdly enough, they feel much better than Hall sensors (which is technically old tech)... the issue (which was only found out because of how many Switches were sold) is that they more easily drift...

In the original, the gate is tilted at an angle, to follow better the natural angle of the thumb (from holding the controller). Nintendo did because in the N64 controller the thumb was positioned naturally vertically aligned with the analog stick. This is one of the main advantages that the original controller has and many of these imitations fail to implement.

An ideal situation for me would just be something you attach to the Gamecube adapter that sort of turns it into a Pro Controller, or makes the Switch think it is one.

To me, the requirements for a perfect modern GameCube controller include analog triggers that feel and function exactly the same as the OEM models, the four face buttons being in the exact same positions as the originals and the controller shape that’s exactly the same or similar to the original. Manufacturers can make plenty of improvements to the design such as have the same number of buttons as the modern controllers and making the body shape larger, but if it doesn’t have the above criteria, it’s simply not a GameCube controller.

I will say PowerA's second attempt at the third party gamecube controller that they released with revisions that were recommended by the community actually feels, in my honest opinion, the closest any third party company has gotten to recreating the feel of the Gamecube controller. The triggers no longer fully travel, which was recommended by the community and is honestly for the best considering a switch controller has no analogue trigger functionality. The new triggers feel very much like the feel of a plugged trigger which is a very common mod for Smash Ultimate players to do to OEM Gamecube controllers. They also made the "z buttons" way higher and more comfortable to actually use as shoulder buttons, and they also made the d pad way bigger than OEM. The plastic and rubber of the sticks do not feel as high quality as the OEM, but other than that, the feel has been spot on (bar the quality of life and switch required additions). It's personally my favorite controller to use on my switch.

Something that wasn't mentioned, and I wish it was, was that a lot of these controllers feel super wonky in-game so while there's certainly "button and stick feel," sticks specifically are notoriously funky and weird in third party controllers, with an annoying tendency to "snap" to the X and Y axis, making playing games like Mario 64 feel absolutely wrong and clunky when it came to those N64 controllers that were coming out a few years back. No one ever tests Mario's movements with those N64 third party controllers, and its the best test to use. OEM N64 is smooth as butter despite how much people complain about the stick, while the new third party ones all snap to the X and Y axis, and make moving Mario in true analog space impossible. There's always a notable step at like a 15-20 degree push away from the axis that snaps it on to the zero.

Compared to the two controllers that came out during the Wii U times I actually think the power A GameCube controller is More closely to a real gamecube controller. I did like the PDP wire fight pad over the hori Battle pad though because it felt less bad and I actually happens to like it but it is definitely less authentic. When I say less bad I mean that the hori one felt like they didn't have quality controller something. Edit: basically my only complaint with the power A controller was that it doesn't have rumble other than that it has all the features to play on switch perfectly blind including motion controls. Now if you were to find some way to use it on a real GameCube then the shoulder buttons are really shallow and obviously don't have any trigger actuation because switch doesn't have that. It's also a little bit flat on top which depending one how you hold it can be annoying though it doesn't bother me.

No Exlene among the lineup? A while back I thought that was sorta the most viable wireless pseudo-GameCube pro controller...

I’m still waiting for my wizard controller. I pre-ordered that back in January and they still haven’t shipped it.

Shank might be the only other super particular face button weirdo like me. People always talk about the sticks and triggers and all the extra functionality, but really I need about 2 hours of just clicking the face buttons before I know if I wanna buy the thing.

The Smash Gamecube controllers are expensive? I bought 4 complete in box for the price of maybe 2 pairs of joy con.

Controller feel is the most important thing. You can have all the bells and whistles in the world, but if your controller feels cheap, I'm not buying it.

Controller development is no joke. I remember reading an article back in the day that said Sony had spent over 100 million dollars developing the dual shock 3 (or maybe the ds4, I can't quite remember). Third party companies are more like leeches on the industry, rarely putting in the development effort, and just trying to make a quick buck. Very cool then, that at least one out there is interested in taking some feedback (at the very least) from gc controller aficionado. That retro flag controller looks interesting, especially for something sold on AliExpress. (I ordered the Nyxi Wizard, but still waiting like everyone else lol)

Missing the small 8bitdo GameCube themed controller 🤪 Would fit right in with the color schemes

As far as I'm aware 8bitdo never made a GameCube controller. If they had it would have been the best controller for GameCube based on their track record so far.

The guy that wants a proper game keep controller for the switch and he goes with the weird connected one that doesn't even have the GameCube way out and looks literally like the worst one from all the reviews I've seen they also say it's not very good I have to believe that he's trolling when he did that.

I'd be very confident in a controller with an 8bitdo logo where the Gamecube or Smash logos used to be.
