Works well, much more comfortable for playing GBA than the standard Gamecube controller. The d-pad is a little clicky compared to an SNES controller, and the X and Y buttons have just a tiny bit of wobble/looseness compared to OEM Gamecube. But you probably won’t be using those buttons much anyway. I don’t have the original HORI version to compare. I wish they would make a wireless version, but it’s a pretty niche product so I don’t expect it.
Excellent build quality. Precise and as good as the more expensive original version.
I used this at a friends place and even though the build quality is decent i just dont understand why anyone would want either a GC controller that is missing both the analogue pad and c-stick, and with a z button in the middle of nowhere, or a GBP controller with more buttons than youll ever need.
This is a good little controller, and an excellent alternative to the old Hori one that's crazy expensive on ebay now. I subtracted one star because it isn't quite as good as that Hori controller (D-Pad is just okay). Still, it gets an enthusiastic 4 stars for giving us a decent alternative.
If you own a Game Boy Player, this controller is a must-have! It's got great cable length and the build quality has been described to be on par with the HORI controller.
The only issue I've experienced with it was the D-pad. I had no problem playing side-scrollers but when it came to isometric games, the top-right diagonal direction would rarely input properly to the point where I thought I had received a faulty product. Luckily, I simply swapped the D-pad membrane with a OEM SNES controller membrane and it's been working without a single issue ever since!
For it's price, I say this is the best controller to use for 2D GameCube games and Game Boy games without a doubt.
I have a gba player and using the gamecube controller for many of those games just hinders the experience, this controller is perfect fix for that and for the price is just an awesome product
As much as I love the ORM GameCube controller, the dpad is a bit lacking for playing GB and GBA games on the Game Boy Player add on. While the Hori controller was the gold standard for a long time, used market prices have skyrocketed, so I’m glad OldSkool released this. Works great and feels great in the hand. I did boil my membranes to help break them in, but that’s not strictly necessary. Highly recommend this for Game Boy Player use, especially as it has a nice long cord.
got because a video review, feels good in hand dpad works great and is responsive all the face buttons feel really close a real gamecubes just a bit lighter on the press, the z button is a lot stiffer which is good for not accidentally pressing it overall great feel and happy i purchased
