Why Brawler64? Why Bluetooth?
TL;DR: Nintendo Switch Online
Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) has brought classic N64 online gaming to the Nintendo Switch. What better way to play your favorite N64 games online than with the Brawler64?!
Shiny New Buttons?
Here's why:
We’ve added new “Screenshot”, “Home” and “-” buttons to the Brawler64 wireless controller to make it fully compatible with the Nintendo Switch.
Most importantly, you won’t need two different controllers to play your favorite N64 games on Nintendo Switch Online. You can easily go from NSO N64 button layout to the traditional Switch Pro controller button layout with a quick press of the new “Swap” button. Cool, right?
Just connect your NSO Wireless Edition to the Switch and you’re ready to go, no remapping or firmware updates required.

Verified owneralmost perfect. I got this for n64 games on switch, but found it actually also works with remapping as a 6 button sega or fighting/arcade style controller on a lot of games (Genesis NSO, Genesis classics collection, street fighter, marvel vs capcom, etc)
the only negative I have is there is no way to map the right analog stick functions in pro controller mode so some games have missing functions or in some case, such as Skyward Sword HD, cannot be played.
This is an absolutely fantastic controller for emulation. It connects wonderfully to iOS and feels just like an old school N64 controller in the hands. Additionally, the customer support is top notch. If you are looking to modernize your N64 experience then this is the controller for you!
Verified ownerGot the gray version with the colorful buttons. It looks good, feels good, and works like a charm on pc+linux+steam+retroarch (connected via usb).
The stick is a real x/y axis stick, and not a glorified d-pad, like in those cheapo n64 controller knockoffs.
Rumble works nicely.
I did not test bluetooth and motion control.
Setup is a bit of chore in retroarch (tip: switch controller to xinput, and map the left/right xbox stick buttons, in the input port options, to two of the c buttons, so you can then map all six c+a/b buttons in the n64 core controllers options).
My only (minor) gripe is that the controller reverts to dinput mode shortly after I exit steam.
Verified ownerMy only complaint is really just a personal critique; I don't see the purpose of the "double Z triggers"; I assume it was done for symmetry's sake, but could've made the second trigger a "ZR" or something. Over all, they seem to be great quality and after 4 different attempts at various methods of trying to get a controller to work for Switch's N64 Online, finally have a workable solution!
Verified ownerLove this take on the N64 controller and appreciate that it can work on PC via the USB charge cable. Sturdy and comfortable.
