Great value, easy to use
Feels authentic, though a little lighter and the buttons are significantly more rigid and "hard plastic-y" feeling. You'll know what I mean if you compare this to an original N64 controller. That said, for 15 bucks, this is great value. It feels just like playing N64 on a high quality but still noticeably third party controller. You know the one, its what your mom bought you from KMart, meaning well. It's what you'd make your little brother use and he would blame the controller when he lost at Smash but after trading controllers you still won. That controller. We all had one back in the day.For people having issues getting this to work, here's my experience with Project64 on latest Win10 build - I first plugged it in using a non-active USB extension cable, the PC saw the controller but I don't think the connection was the greatest. Project64 did not see the controller, guessing the controller didn't like the extension (USB connections greater than 15 feet on non-active cables are pretty unreliable). Plugged it directly in to the PC, everything works great. After the initial driver install which Windows did on its own, no input from me required, I put it back on the extension cable and it worked fine. Plug and play with Project64 is a pretty accurate though I did still have to go into the controller config and map all the buttons, but after that everything worked great. Recommend using an active USB extension if you need one. BlueRigger sells some quality active USB extension cables.

Fantastic Controller for the Price!
Overall a very solid controller! Make sure you're completely logged out of Steam when using with emulator or else Steam will fight for dominance and get in the way of configuration.I've been using the grey one heavily for around 2 weeks now and the only thing I noticed is that the base of the stick has grinded down. It doesn't get in the way and the stick is still firm, but the plastic around it has come off from use, which looks a little funny. So far I've played through 20 hours of dk64, 6 hours or so of Smash, 2 hours of Mario 64, and 15ish hours of Banjo-Kazooie and all that's happened was a naked stick base. Still fully functional and snappy, just the plastic at the base is worn. The controller is a bit light, any old gear like rumble packs and gameboy slots for Pokemon Stadium 1/2 are non-compatible.I purchased a black controller as well for two player games and it works great! The stick is a little tight at first but it will loosen up as you play.It's very awkward to play n64 games with modern controllers as they have no c-buttons... I don't regret this purchase whatsoever. I plugged my laptop into the tv and it feels very authentic!Solid controller for a fantastic price! Thank you SAFFUN! 😎👍

Works for steam deck dock, but needs to be configured. It's sort of a mess
I bought this product to play n64 games on the steam deck. Once I plugged it in it for some reason recognized it as a dualshock 3 controller. The buttons commands were all over the place, but since the steam deck has options to edit the layout, I was able to get all the buttons working. I suggest going to settings on the steam deck and test the input to see what commands are for each of the buttons on the controller and match with the layout of a playstation controller.For example at first when I pressed the up C button it registered as the start button on the controller, so I changed it to right stick up to register correctly. A button registered as the circle button, so had to change it to the X button, and so on.Overall it kinda of a work around for the steam deck, but once it's done it functions great. The only button I have an issue with is the start button because it is recognize as the home button and is difficult to change. Have not tried it on PC yet, but sure the setup is easier there. Hope this helps.

C buttons are mixed up, games barely playable, otherwise nice controller
Update:I found the controller configuration file for RetroArch (using the mupen64 plus core (emulator)). The button values for the c buttons did have a mixup. I used Windows USB controller setup to find which c button mapped to which value. Windows shows values 1-13, but the configuration file starts with 0, so just subtract 1 from what Windows shows you to get the value you should put into the configuration file. Here's my update. The old settings are commented out with the # sign at the front:input_r_x_plus_btn = "8"input_r_x_minus_btn = "3"input_r_y_plus_btn = "0"input_r_y_minus_btn = "9"#input_r_x_plus_btn = "9"#input_r_x_minus_btn = "3"#input_r_y_plus_btn = "0"#input_r_y_minus_btn = "8"The file I changed waspath\to\install_directory\RetroArch_N64_Emulator\RetroArch\autoconfig\xinput\Retro-Bit Tribute64 - USB (D-Input).cfgThis was difficult to figure out, but I also haven't tried it on any other emulator. It's probably a software problem, not a hardware problem. I hope this helps other people who run into this situation.Old review:The left/down c buttons or the right/up c buttons are mixed, depending on how you have it configured. For example, if I have the default configuration:C Right: C buttons X+C Left: C buttons X-C Down: C buttons Y+C Up: C buttons Y-Then C left and C down are correct. But C Up acts as C Right and vice versa. If I switch the axes (C right/left on the Y axis, C down/up on the X axis) the problem is reversed: C up/right are correct, but C down acts as C left and vice versa.So, games are playable, but very confusing. Can I have a replacement controller?The positives:The joystick feels very nice, very much like a real nintendo 64 controller. The other buttons are nice and responsive. It was easy to configure. No complaints beyond the c buttons being mixed up. I would give this controller 5 stars without that problem.
