New to the NGC world, I missed this console when released as I was probably out getting in trouble somewhere. After reading all the GC controller posts it seemed like the original OG GameCube controller was the only way to play Original GC software on GC hardware. I got two original GameCube controllers (used) to stay with the ‘crowd’ I played MK:DD and XIII and Metroid Prime and I was not feeling the OG controller, the trigger travel is really what got me. Then saw some posts about an “newer” GameCube cube controller and wireless also without the wave bird worry of controller vs dongle. Checked out the offerings from Retro Fighters and purchased the Battlr GC Pro. (purple) I don’t know a whole lot about controllers and customization, but I can tell you that my track times in MK:DD decreased quite a bit and I felt closer to the on screen action. The feel of the controller is closer to that of a modern controller (sorry haters) and proved to be well worth the purchase. I plan on getting another Retro Fighters controller for the GC as soon as I am able. Thank you for a quality product and keep up the good fight. Warm Regards, ~ E

Bought the Glacier Controller for my son and the issue I had with the power button on the back of the controller is now Recessed so its not as easy to shut off the controller on accident. Very impressed with the adjustment Crystal controller to the Glacier

Phenomenal controller! I've had mine since it launched, and it plays great for super smash bros. I actually bought two, one for my brother who plays competitively and one for myself. I have pretty much adopted it as my main Switch controller. The joysticks feel great, and the controller is very responsive. I did have an issue with it not connecting to the Switch 2 at all, but after very little research, I found that there is a firmware update on the main page. After I connected the controller to the PC and updated the controller, it synced up immediately to the Switch 2 with zero issues. Works great with the Gamecube Virtual Console games on the Switch Online! Highly recommend, 5 out of 5 stars

It's one of the best modernization of the GC controller yet!

I have bought one a while ago, and... it's just what I needed, as I prefer how the GC buttons are and how the analog buttons/sticks works.

Like a comment below said though, please ensure that you Dolphin Emulator settings are adjusted to benefit of the aforementioned controls.

Stellar work by the way!
