Anyone ever used a USB N64 controller?

Post by Calavera »

I'm looking at this one

Code: Select all

I plan on just using it with Project 64 on the PC. It was varying reviews although they seem mostly positive. Just wondering if anyone here had any experience with it.

I would hard pass on that. That thing looks way too cheap for the buttons and analog to be any good. It’s a neat novelty, but I doubt it will be something you’ll want to use a lot.

Don't buy it. I have a similar model I bought at a Microcenter because it was cheap. The price definitely matches the quality of the poorly made control stick.
