Classic N64 Controller, N64 Wired USB PC Game pad Joystick, N64 Bit USB Wired Game Stick Joy pad Controller for Windows PC MAC Linux Raspberry Pi 3 Sega Genesis Higan (Grey)

Overall a very solid controller! Make sure you're completely logged out of Steam when using with emulator or else Steam will fight for dominance and get in the way of configuration.I've been using the grey one heavily for around 2 weeks now and the only thing I noticed is that the base of the stick has grinded down. It doesn't get in the way and the stick is still firm, but the plastic around it has come off from use, which looks a little funny. So far I've played through 20 hours of dk64, 6 hours or so of Smash, 2 hours of Mario 64, and 15ish hours of Banjo-Kazooie and all that's happened was a naked stick base. Still fully functional and snappy, just the plastic at the base is worn. The controller is a bit light, any old gear like rumble packs and gameboy slots for Pokemon Stadium 1/2 are non-compatible.I purchased a black controller as well for two player games and it works great! The stick is a little tight at first but it will loosen up as you play.It's very awkward to play n64 games with modern controllers as they have no c-buttons... I don't regret this purchase whatsoever. I plugged my laptop into the tv and it feels very authentic!Solid controller for a fantastic price! Thank you SAFFUN! 😎👍

Feels authentic, though a little lighter and the buttons are significantly more rigid and "hard plastic-y" feeling. You'll know what I mean if you compare this to an original N64 controller. That said, for 15 bucks, this is great value. It feels just like playing N64 on a high quality but still noticeably third party controller. You know the one, its what your mom bought you from KMart, meaning well. It's what you'd make your little brother use and he would blame the controller when he lost at Smash but after trading controllers you still won. That controller. We all had one back in the day.For people having issues getting this to work, here's my experience with Project64 on latest Win10 build - I first plugged it in using a non-active USB extension cable, the PC saw the controller but I don't think the connection was the greatest. Project64 did not see the controller, guessing the controller didn't like the extension (USB connections greater than 15 feet on non-active cables are pretty unreliable). Plugged it directly in to the PC, everything works great. After the initial driver install which Windows did on its own, no input from me required, I put it back on the extension cable and it worked fine. Plug and play with Project64 is a pretty accurate though I did still have to go into the controller config and map all the buttons, but after that everything worked great. Recommend using an active USB extension if you need one. BlueRigger sells some quality active USB extension cables.

Bought this to play some N64 games with RetroArch. First off the controller feels great. Its not quite the original but feels close enough. I got it working perfectly with retroarch in about 30-45 min (through trial and error) however I can't say with confidence that I could redo it. The best advise I can give from recollection is this:Configure through the main menu via settings > Input > Controller port 1Device type: ControllerAnalog to digital type: NoneDevice Index: Controller (Dinput)Then click each button option and it will prompt you to press a button on the controller to map it. Left stick is the joystick. Right stick is the C-buttons. Z trigger is L2. A button is B button (down). B button is Y button (left). Start is start (duh). Shoulder buttons are L and R buttons respectively. D-pad buttons are d-pad buttons.First it didn't work at all, then I deleted my previous core remap file (in-game) and then resaved core and game remap files. Magically that did it. Now that I have it working I'm a happy camper. Goldeneye here we go!

For anybody looking to use this on PC with an emulator, this answers the call. However, with Project 64, it had issues. Would map out just fine, but once you boot up a game, it wasn't engaging correctly. So I switched emulators and went with Simple64, and it worked perfect. Straight to the point, no hurdles.

The only thing this controller and a real N64 controller have in common are the look. It's mapped incorrectly and the Legacy mode mentioned in other comments doesn't work.The controller isn't detected in EmuVR at all. It runs off of RetroArch in which not a single button is mapped correctly. It's supposed to be plug and play not plug and hours of trial and error set up.I rated it 1 star because Amazon will not allow me to rate it lower or give it negative stars. Don't waste your time or money.

The build material is fairly solid for a $20 Nintendo 64 knockoff controller. The analog stick feels pretty slick at the start, but I suspect that will wear off in time. The controller definitely feels pretty light.Now for the title of the review.....You may see reviews mentioning a Dead-zone, namely toward the bottom right, but there is a chance that it is not a result of the controller itself, but rather Project64 itself. How I found out was I fired up Steam and played a 3D game and the issue never reared its ugly head (tried the same thing on Switch. It is not natively supported, but it is functional). I fixed it with DarkMan DInput 4.0 controller plugin, so do know that you will most likely need that going in.Once you do, you will be met with a solid choice for N64 controllers, as this controller has never dropped an input for me and my testing. Worth the money, just be wary you will have to do some plugin work on Project64.
