BattlerGC Pro

This is my second GC Pro controller and I love the versatility of it. I use it the wireless dongle on my gamecube and have used it on my switch and PC. I can recommend to folks to use steam for faster calibration and connection for PC. The Glacier though is so pretty matches my other controllers.

I used this Controller for half a year now, mostly for Smash Ultimate on my switch but I used it for mostly every game there as well. The Controller works great after you getting used to it. It's not like the Og Gamecube experience, which you will notice as soon as you switch back to a gc controller. Still the experience is greater as if you use a gc controller Also the Gc Dongle is an awesome feature since I modded my wiiu recently and can use it there as well Downsides on this one: -The left stick gets used a lot and you will notice this but that's the case at every controller you use this much like I do -The Trigger buttons on the downside got a really weird interaction if you bind a jumping button on it. Most of the time you will do a short hop and can't controll the way you are jumping, so it's up only with a little adjustment -the biggest flaw in my opinion is the off button on the backside. I hit that stuff at like every 20 match and just can't remember to keep my hands of it 😂 After all the controller ist awesome and I would buy it again anytime

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.

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.

I recently picked up the Retro Fighters BattlerGC Pro controller, and I’m thoroughly impressed! The build quality is solid, and it feels great in hand—perfect for long gaming sessions. What really stands out is how seamlessly it works with the Nintendo Switch. The setup was a breeze, and the controller performed great across different games. It’s a fantastic modern upgrade for fans of the GameCube style. That said, the mapping of B to P1 does not work in Tears of the Kingdom, and I wish I could do the firmware upgrade, but I only have a Mac and gaming systems, not a PC.

BEAUTIFUL controller! I love it so much that I will be buying another next month. It was a pleasant surprise to see that it's also compatible with Switch. Your controllers go beyond my expectations and I hope to continue to do business with you guys in the future.

So I was interested in this controller, because I wanted to practice instant reverse back-airs in Smash Ultimate. I did not want to practice this technique with a Gamecube controller, because it would require me to map the GC controller's left trigger to jump. I only use the GC controller's left trigger for shield after years of practice, and so the BattlerGC Pro presented a solution for me to map its unique left shoulder button to jump. This has worked out perfectly for Smash. I am very happy to now practice instant reverse back-airs with a GC-styled controller, because the only other alternative was to use a normal Pro controller. I absolutely cannot use a normal Pro controller for Smash, and so the BattlerGC Pro is helping me tremendously with my Roy game. This controller is also phenomenal as a solution to another problem. Super Mario 3D All Stars does not allow GC controllers to use the left trigger for ground pounds in Super Mario Sunshine. However, 3D All Stars does allow a normal Pro controller to use its left trigger for ground pounds. Since the Switch recognizes the BattlerGC Pro as a normal Pro controller, Super Mario Sunshine is now playable with it as a GC-styled controller. Classic left trigger ground pounds with a GC controller are only possible with the BattlerGC Pro, and it feels perfect. I tried this controller out with Mario Kart 8 as well. The GC-styled buttons are actually better than a normal Pro controller, because they allow me to accelerate with "A" and then shift my thumb onto "X" to look behind me much more easily. Looking behind oneself with a normal Pro controller is too difficult on the normal Pro controller, and so the BattlerGC Pro solves yet another problem. Furthermore, the controller works perfectly on Mario Odyssey and Cave Story+ as well. Mario Odyssey feels like it was made for it, and Cave Story+ is absolutely playable with this controller's Pro-styled Dpad. An original GC controller's Dpad is virtually useless for a precision platformer such as Cave Story, and so this controller pulls double duty as a better GC controller and suitable platformer controller to lessen one's reliance on multiple controllers. Finally, the controller connects perfectly to my Android phone for Paper Mario: TTYD emulation on Dolphin. It works perfectly. And Paper Mario Android emulation via Mupen also works perfectly. I just purchased another crystal edition right now, because this has firmly replaced the Gamecube controller for my uses. I love it.
