8BitDo Mod Kit for Original N64 Controller

Pro’s: Super Simple Mod, It’s Been Great Playing Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask With a N64 Controller. Feels Way More Nostalgic and Works Better then My MS Brand Controller.

Con’s: Analog Stick is Starting to Get a Little Hesitant and a Little less Accurate with Several Weeks of Use now. Gets worse as the Battery gets Closer to Needing Charge. An easier battery to replace would be a great add on too. The current one looks to be soldered to the board in the controller. If anything it should be in the rumble pack.

If it was ment for the n64 then it should come with the bluetooth dongle. If it is meant for the switch the button mapping could be better. It really needs to have a way to push the - and + buttons. They should be on the expansion pack.. I also would prefer an oem style joystick.. GameCube style jotstick is not fully compatible with the 64 emulator on switch online services. For what you spend on the kit and buying an oe controller, you can purchase the 64 controller from nintendo that has the same functionality with oem style joystick. I am happy with my purchase, but if I would have known about the dongle and nintendo's new 64 controller I may not have went this route..

Fantastic product from the packaging to the supplied tools and instructions.
Exactly what I wanted to keep my childhood controller to pair with my retro pocket.

it works great with the switch and Switch OLED but could not get the update going for the Switch 2. Used only a handful of times and I’m already getting stuck drift which was a bummer. Luckily I work on remotes myself so I will likely install remove the joystick it comes with and install a TMR stick
