Smash Rookie
So I went to Game Stop last week wanting to get a GameCube controller because while I was doing pretty decent using a 2DS at my local smash events(don't ask),I felt like no C-Stick was holding me back,and basically I had 2 options. Get a 3rd party controller (ew) new or a used OEM,which is fine except they were selling it with the analog stick chipped in half,c stick dangling downwards,and gunk in between the shell almost separating it. So I figured I've had luck with 3rd parties before,
granted they were either a hit or miss,and for $13 at least to try out the layout wasn't that big a deal for me.
But guess what? It's actually pretty dam good! It's definitely not as amazing as the OEM ones I remember using with my uncle when I was little but for a third party controller the build is amazing. There's no creaking what so ever,cord is a decent length,the sticks don't dangle at all even after a week of use,all the buttons respond like they should and the triggers don't have that weird feeling most 3rd parties have where its like they're scraping the inside as they get pressed in.
The Z-button is a bit clicky but in a good way it feels very solid and not creaky. The rest of the buttons don't even jiggle like most 3rd party controllers. It's to the GC controller what Rock Candy is to the 360. Sturdy,cheap,not the greatest but not bad by any means and gets the job done. If you need a spare controller and don't want to spend a ton I would recommend unless you're a die hard for the OEM.
8/10 Good build and feel but the cords a bit stiff but the length is good so meh.
