Make sure to download the latest firmware and use the Home+B macro to enable the digital triggers for the ideal GameCube trigger emulation experience while using Dolphin so the when the triggers ‘click’ you get a separate input from the handful of games that properly make use of that underrated functionality. (Remember to disable this macro when appropriate as most none GameCube games will not benefit from the trigger click registering as L3 and R3.)
Sticks are better than the original while still feeling like the original including proper octagonal housing and correct stick cap shape and texture, same with the larger clickier D-pad, and face buttons feel identical to the original. It is the only third party controller I’ve seen replicate the GameCube triggers. Though is fully functional for any game where you can use an Xbox controller, fully functional on the GameCube, Wii, Wii U(Via Gamecube adaptor), and Switch.
The good: very comfortable controller, works flawlessly after some work (more on that later). I’m using it on PC with dolphin as my GC discs are all scratched up and I don’t have the time or inclination to mod my cube. comfortable, shoulder buttons are very nice, rumble works great.
The bad: Out of the box the control sticks were WAAAAAYYY to senstitive and need to be calibrated. This information is on the website under macros but not in the manual. Once calibrated it works great with the usb dongle in xinput mode on the PC.
The ugly: a minor complaint (hence the 5 start rating) the turn off button is too close to where my left middle finger rests. I have big hands so only my ring and little finger fit on the handles so my middle fingers rest on the back of the controller and keep turning it off by accident. in the future I would put that button in a harder to reach place, but that might be a feature rather than a bug as some folks might want to reset it quickly in gameplay.
I have the Crystal Color and I love it. The buttons and sticks feel great, love the response and overall a great quality controller. When I take it over friends/family house to play Smash Bros or Rivals of Aether everyone loves the way it looks and responds. Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because of 2 flaws when I hold my controller. At first I thought it was an input thing but I literally had to change how I hold my controller, which I still revert back to holding like a GC controller. #1 The face of the controller is at a sharper angle, so sometimes I try to do any forward tilt, smash, or dash and I do a downward action instead. I’m pretty sure its the part of the controller that sits in the palm. #2 The way I grip the controller I have shut off my controller in the middle of heated matches. Overall I love my controller and I use it everyday but because of my 2 flaws stated I wouldn’t take the chance using the controller in a tournament.
Took forever for me to get it, but it wasn’t fault of RetroFighters.
The wait was Completely worth it! It takes a bit of time to get used to it, but once you do, you can tell this is a Premium Quality controller! The sticks works even better than any of their controllers, it’s super responsive in Bluetooth and Wired, tho I’m having some Latency with Wii U Adapter to USB. The D-Pad went from rigid and annoying on OEM to Absolute Perfection for this controller, got really surprised about that, pleasantly so.
For both Switch and PC, this controller is absolutely amazing, a MUST have for all GameCube fans and players!
had an issue with pairing and inputs on my battler pro controller. robert was helpful and walked me through troubleshooting to get it fixed. i’m happy to own and be using multiple controller from retro fighters !
