   I’ve seen other reviewers critique some of the buttons of this controller but it’s very comparable to how a PS4 or an Xbox One controller feels. The directional pad is membrane but is really precise and not mushy whatsoever. The buttons are also membrane but feels good when gaming. The top two triggers feel tight and not loose feeling. It basically comes with two adapters. One for your Nintendo 64 and a second USB wireless adapter which you would use for either your PC or your SWITCH. I used the smaller wireless adapter and used the controller to play some old school games from the Nintendo store. The controller did exactly what it was supposed to do, everything worked without any issues. The controller is much larger than modern controllers so keep that in mind. I would honestly think this might be a little too overwhelming for younger kids because of its bulkiness. If you used an N64 controller in the past then this is leaps and bounds better than the OG ones just because the build quality seems top tier and the joystick feels better than even a main brand controller. The joystick almost has a Hall Effect quality to it!

   Just holding this controller takes me back to the good old days! I was able to pair it with my Nintendo Switch easily and played it with most games. Doesn’t work as well with Apex, but perfect for playing older N64 games on Switch. Recommended for sure!

   To start, the packaging on this controller is good. Very clean and well designed box which mentions all that this controller can do. The controller I got was the multi color one, which is quite nice. I am always a fan of the transparent colored plastic, so it is nice to have it here, although the bottom (blue) half is not transparent sadly.I don’t mind it too much, but an interesting choice nonetheless. The plastic is very smooth all around and has very clean edges. The controller does feel a tad light as it seems to weigh about the same as an original N64 controller. I understand that some components get smaller over time which reduces weight, although it almost feels a little cheap knowing that this controller has a built in battery, Bluetooth adapter, extra buttons, and rumble weight. The buttons themselves also feel a bit cheap, unsurprisingly, as they all have a bit of a click to them as you may often see on third party controllers. As it is a modern controller, of course the joystick is at least better than ones on the original controllers. The Z button is also a bit flatter. My main gripe however is the ZR button placement, as it is in a very odd spot you need to reach for with your finger. I don’t exptect it to need to be pressed much, especially since this controller will likely only ever be used with original and emulated N64 games. With this, I love how I can use this on both my N64 and especially my PC! The N64 adapter is also quite nice as it has a matching transparent red plastic and lets you still plug in N64 controller adapters like the memory pak. USB C charging is fine. One last thing is that there is also a spare joystick stick in case the stick on your controller ever breaks or falls off I assume. It does not come off easily so I am curious about the reason for this. Overall I am quite pleased with this wireless controller.

   I was overall impressed with this controller. It feels solid and the buttons all respond nicely without that cheap feel that you typically get from these types of controllers. Time will tell if the buttons hold up nicely but out of the box after a few hours of gameplay on PC and I have only positive feelings about it. I would definitely recommend this as an option for people looking for a wireless n64 controller.

   Great controller, works right out of the box (as long as you follow the instructions). Press and hold the small button on the side of the receiver for a few seconds until it rapidly flashes. While it’s rapidly flashing, press the Reset button on the N64 controller, then press the Start button. -1 for those who are using this for an emulator (RetroArch in my case). The button mapping on emulators and the actual button are off for the “A”, “B”, and “C” buttons. (All other buttons work with the emulators for key binding.). I posted a picture for those using this for emulators (RetroArch im my case). (I’m not sure if this is the fault of the controller or the emulator, but that’s a weird issue.)

   I am blown away by how well this controller feels, and the thoughtfulness behind getting it to work for the games I want to play no matter the format. This controller handles the issue of N64 button mapping really well. There are several different button modes for whether you are on PC or Switch that make it adaptable to the type of game you are playing. I cannot praise it enough for how well thought out it is.

   I plan to get a second one in the future so I can do two player N64 emulation on my switch. I honestly look forward to showing it off next time I have a friend over to play some classic retro Mario party.

   I can’t think of a single downside at the moment. Really a great product I highly recommend for Switch or PC.

   I’ve wanted a wireless N64 controller for a long time, and this one does not disappoint. Controls are as good as the original – the analogue stick may actually be even better than the original. Set up was super easy, and there is no perceptual lag using the controller. It has all the advantages of a wired controller, including support for memory cards, except it is wireless. The shell has a different colored upper and lower shell – I would prefer one transparent color on the top and bottom, but it looks fine as it is. Overall, this is exactly what I was waiting for – freeing me from being tethered to the game console.
