Once it was assembled the controller works flawlessly and even registers as a Nintendo Switch Online official N64 controller! But assembly wasnt as easy as what I saw online. I have some experience with controllers and consoles, and I found this to be a bit of a challenge. It felt as though the battery and its cables were getting in the way of certain plastic parts of the controller which made it very difficult to close it properly. It was tough to close and frankly I' a little worried that one day either the controller plastic will crack of the battery may get damaged. Maybe not. I sure hope not. Maybe this was an issue that only happened with me. Either way, I'm very happy with the product!
Easy installation, no problems.
It's great and has great precision but sadly it doesn't have the exact same range as an original. In particular, the dead zone is much larger preventing super fine movements such as turning around with a deku stick to light a torch in Zelda. This is sad because hall effect sensor technology is absolutely capable of that level of precision. I have hall effect flight sticks with an utterly microscopic dead zone.
But overall, it is still much much better than my worn out OEM stick and has very good precision outside the deadzone, and what feels like a fairly OEM response curve.
Cheaper and more available option for N64 online on the switch. And works great.
I love the way you fit the new technology to the retro items.
All of them works great!
