Retro Fighters BattlerGC Pro Series GameCube Controller Compatible with Switch/PC/GameCube - Black

This is by far the best GameCube style controller available for both GameCube and Switch! As someone who owns the original BattlerGC, I can say this one is a big improvement. The face buttons feel significantly better on the Pro Series version, with a more solid, satisfying button press compared to the hollow feel of the original. It feels much closer to an OEM GameCube controller in terms of quality and responsiveness. Additionally, the Pro Series has more substantial weight, whereas the original Battler felt lighter and less refined. The standout feature is the digital triggers, these triggers work similar to the original GameCube controller, with a satisfying click that activates a function. The D-pad features micro switches for a crisp, responsive feel. One downside is that initially, the trigger buttons didn’t work on PC. However, after reaching out to Retro Fighters, I discovered they’ve released a firmware update on their website that now supports trigger mapping on PC. The update was straightforward, and now the triggers work seamlessly. I wonder how they missed that, but great that there is firmware for it now. The controller has Bluetooth, Wired, and 2.4 GHz wireless modes, making it adaptable for different gaming setups. While the price is slightly higher than I’d like to pay, it’s definitely worth it for the improved quality over the original BattlerGC. Overall, I highly recommend this controller, it's probably the best quality controller they have released to date!

I have tried a number of 3rd party Gamecube controllers, both wired and wireless and they all have one thing in common. They are horrible! But the Retro Fighters BattlerGC Pro is awesome so far. I have played Super Mario Sunshine, Super Smash Bros Brawl, and Mario Golf and this controller tested very well. I recently watched a video about how this controller had bad latency, but thankfully there is a simple firmware update you can get on their website. I updated the firmware just in case, but I honestly didn't notice any latency issues before the update. I was able to get "Nice Shot" in Mario Golf pretty consistently. The ZR & ZL triggers are hybrid digital/analog triggers, and I tested that in Super Mario Sunshine. You can lightly press the trigger allowing Mario to walk and spray water, or you can hold the trigger all the way down and Mario stops and sprays. I also tested to see if you can slow walk by lightly pressing the analog stick forward, and that works pretty well too. Mario does start running if you press the stick farther forward. The rumble is very powerful, it almost surprised me when I felt it the first time. Pairing is pretty simple. If you're using the Gamecube dongle, make sure to change the switch on the BACK OF THE CONTROLLER to 2.4 setting. Otherwise you'll be very confused as to why it's not pairing. Plug the dongle into the controller slot and then hold the "home" button for 5 seconds. It should pair immediately. The one thing I will say is that the controller times out from inactivity pretty quickly (like within 2 or 3 minutes). All you have to do is click the home button once and it turns on and pairs with the dongle pretty seamlessly. If latency is your top concern then you really should just be using a wired OEM controller or the Wavebird controller. But if you tend to not really notice those types of things then this will be just fine. The number one thing I want for this controller is a silicone grip cover. The material is pretty slippery and the textured material does not help. Would love for Retrofighters to make that.

The controller works and feels fantastic. From the moment I unboxed it, I could tell it was a quality product. Setting it up on the Nintendo Wii was a breeze, taking only a few minutes to get everything connected and ready to go. The controller feels solid and well-made, unlike other similar products that often feel cheap and flimsy in the hands. The buttons are responsive and provide a satisfying click with each press, enhancing the overall gaming experience. The ergonomic design fits comfortably in my hands, allowing for extended gaming sessions without any discomfort. It's clear that a lot of thought went into the design and construction of this controller. In comparison to other third-party controllers I've tried, this one stands out for its build quality and ease of use. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality controller for their Nintendo Wii. Whether you're a casual gamer or a hardcore enthusiast, this controller is sure to meet your needs and exceed your expectations.

The controller was great. Used it for Game Boy games with the Game Boy player! Played Super Mario sunshine. The controller feels well-made and heavy. But there are some problems. 1.) The dead zone for the controller is unbelievably sensitive. A small and very minor movement makes the character move and sometime makes it wobbly. Making some games such as Super monkey ball unplayable. 2.) The L and R triggers stopped working. I could press them all the way and they could register but they won't register when pressing. The controller is good for RPG games like Pokémon, fire emblem, etc. I messaged the support team to check if the controller is fixable. Video 1: shows Super Mario Sunshine game. Update 1: Contacted the distributor about the situation. Was prompted to recalibrate the controller which fixed the issue👍🏻. But, some games I have been running into another problem. The game presses Y by itself. I don’t know how but thats the issue to be checked and solved later. Happy with the product to be used on simple RPG games Extra two stars

Venía muy bien empaquetado, y el unboxing fue premium, incluye hasta un pin con la forma del control, la sensación de los gatillos es rara, pero no mala, el único detalle que le veo es que es imposible poner grips en los sticks, el de abajo es muy pequeño (imitando a la perfección el de GC) y el principal, con su forma convexa, se le resbalan. Fuera de eso, recomiendo ampliamente el control. más que nada por poder conectarse a PC, Switch 1 (probablemente el 2 también), Wii (primera versión con las entradas de gamecube), Wii U (con unos ajustes, guiño guiño) y obviamente Gamecube

Este podía haber sido el mejor mando tipo gamecube de todos, pero aun con ese precio el mando tiene joystics malísimos. Su problema es que sufren de "cardinal snapping". Para quien no lo sepa, significa que cuando la palanca se acerca a las 8 direcciones principales, el mando hace que la dirección se quede fija hasta que pasa de cierto umbral. Por ejemplo, supongamos que la palanca está toda hacia delante. Si quieres moverla a la derecha o izquierda, el mando no registrará nada de esos movimientos hasta que hayas recorrido la distancia mínima para que se registre. Decepción absoluta y devolución inmediata. Este mando NO sirve para Smash Bros competitivo.

Severe lag in button presses. The shoulder buttons stick causing repeated if not delayed inputs. If you want to lose all your online and tournament matches then buy this controller

This controller is awesome! I've been playing all my Gamecube games again recently, and my Wavebird doesn't work anymore. This controller is a great replacement, plus I can use it on PC via Bluetooth or USB when I want to play certain Gamecube game mods. The sticks feel great, the analog triggers work perfectly, and the D-pad is tight and responsive. Bluetooth Pairing takes some getting used to, but the instruction booklet explains the process well. I bought another one because it's so good!

Für ein Controller der 70€ kostet ist die Qualität schlecht. Der 1. Controller hat nach 1 Woche nicht mehr richtig funktioniert und bei dem 2. Controller war der L Trigger schlecht verarbeitet.
