Review: Feels Exactly Like the Original and Works in RetroArch - Original Review, 11/23/20: Loving this controller so far! You'll need to rebind it in RetroArch if you've been using something more standard, like an XBox or PS4 controller. Also, it's a D-input controller and not X-input. Same deal as an 8Bit-Do, if you've ever used one of those. And the control stick itself moves so smoothly compared to the original N64 controller I have! I saw a review here on desertcart about the cord becoming frayed. I have taken note and will make damn sure nothing happens to it. $16 is a good price. If you're on the fence, go for it. UPDATE, 11/28/20 The D-pad can be spotty. If I'm holding up and left, the controller will occasionally not process ANY input, causing much frustration. Additionally, if I try to hold just "UP", it can process a diagonal input at times. Readjusting your thumb works sometimes, but if you're doing a complex movement, consider it ruined. These are not game or emulation issues. This was tested/confirmed an issue by looking at the controller output in the "Game Controllers" panel in Windows. However, if you're not going to use the D-Pad, then I guess this isn't an issue at all. Further research has shown that in the N64 community, any 3rd party stuff is not really trusted. So if you really want something that works well, get an original OEM controller and pay ~$12 for a replacement stick. (The repair is apparently easy enough and doesn't require any soldering.) Then get an N64 -> USB controller adapter. This controller will still be fine for non-D-pad games. Just thought the extra info would be appreciated!
Review: Great old school controller that brings back good memories - I got this controller due to the many positive reviews on the black one, so I decided to get both to try. Just like the other black controller, this one is great for my emulator games, but in dark red color. The buttons are fully customizable via emulators and it works great with my PC. I am able to play my favorite games from the past with the controller that I liked best. The only thing that can make this controller better is if it is wireless. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase, and would definitely buy more as Christmas gift in the future.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good controller with a cheap feel. It works tho and that is what matters
*by C***T on June 27, 2018*

This works great as a PC controller. My only complaint is that it feels cheap and does not have much weight to it. I might crack it open and add some weight as it feels strange in the hands. Overall it works well as an n64 controller and the buttons seem to be holding up well.
