I read some complaints about the joystick not being centered, but I did not ever have that problem. The controller has always worked perfectly for me, from GoldenEye, to Perfect Dark, to Ocarina of Time, to Super Smash Brothers.
This is obviously USB based and is just plug and play. It is meant to be used with emulated games, but I suppose if you are feeling crazy you can use it for whatever games you want. Just note that it does not have all of the buttons that today’s modern console controllers have.
I have used the controller on two different Windows 10 devices, as well as an android tablet over OTG connection. I have had this for probably 6 months now and have not had any issues with it! This is definitely the best choice if you need a black N64 controller.
Easy to use, and worked as expected. I calibrated it first for her, only issue is on first run through of mapping the controller keys, the digital pad refused to map or register at all.
Easy fix, just go "Settings" - "Plugins" - "Input (controller) Plugin" - and change it to "Jabo's DirectInput7 1.6" instead of the default setting. A bit annoying and has been unnecessary for other controllers I have used, but afterwards everything mapped fine and the controller was working normally. Ran it through a few games before I turned it over to her, and had no issues with anything from that point on.
Also make sure that in "Options" - "Configure Controller Plugin" - that you choose your controller in the "Game Device" drop-down menu and the check the "Controller is Plugged in" check box next to it.
I will probably purchase another one of these for myself, and I like that this controller exists. Makes life easier then mapping keys for games that were not made to be mapped on keyboards. Plus I doubt my mother would ever have tried to play with the keyboard in the first place.
The only improvements that could be made might be to some of the button pushes. On one controller, the B button occasionally sticks a bit, but it's easy to pop back out with another press or a jiggle. I've been using both controllers for about 7 months now with no problems. In fact, we were just looking to order some NES or Super Nintendo controllers by RetroLink to play some other old games because they're so inexpensive and such good quality. If we choose to but them, we'll definitely be going with this brand.

Manette de bonne facture, stick directionnel impeccable.
Le seul bémol c'est le le petit bruit lors de l'appuie sur certains boutons, mais ce n'est pas très grave, ce n'est pas une manette Nintendo non plus :)
er liegt gut in der hand ein bischen klein ist er kann aber auch daran liegen das ich mich verändern habe aber nun zum ped allgemein
1 liegt gut in der hand
2 preiss ist komplett ok
3 kindheit pur wieder Erleben
um es kurz zu fassen alle die Darmals gerne N64 gespielt haben und es wieder aufleben wollen ist das der perfeckte ped
1 sache gibt es aber schon er ist sehr leicht mann merkt das es ein anders gefühl ist aber wrüde mal sagen zu 80% kommt er an Oginal ran
Funktioniert alles problemlos. Die Deadzone des Controllers ist wirklich kaum spürbar. Es scheint, als ob das verbessert wurde, denn die Verpackung ist auch eine andere als auf dem Artikelfoto zu sehen. Lediglich ist es nicht möglich ein Rumblepack anzuschließen, da dazu keine Kontakte vorgesehen sind. Alles in allem ein Gutes Produkt sehr empfehlenswert um mal wieder in den Genuß der alten N64 Klassiker zu kommen ohne dabei die Originalkonsole verwenden zu müssen. Lieferung Pünktlich wie gewohnt.
