Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Genuine N64 plug-in replacement, no USB adapter or console mod needed
  • ✓ Japanese-made 3D analog stick for tighter aim than worn OEM sticks
  • ✓ Dual Z buttons up top speed up shooter and RTS trigger pulls
  • ✓ 12 function buttons including left/right shoulders and Z-trigger
  • ✓ Rumble Pak and memory-card slot work with most standard N64 packs

Cons

  • ✗ No Switch, GameCube, Wii, or Wii U support at all
  • ✗ Transfer Pak function is not supported, so Pokemon Stadium transfers fail
  • ✗ Third-party build, not an official Nintendo N64 controller
  • ✗ Wired only, so cable length limits how far back you can sit
