FIOTOK Gamecube Controller Compatible with Nintendo Gamecube Black

Works with my gamecube just like any other controller. almost everything is exactly like the original controller I got with my gamecube. my only gripe with it is the z button is abit clicky noise wise and the directional pad seems to move allot more than It should. but all of that its an amazing controller and those negatives don't rely bug me when playing games, but just something I noticed so im not taking off a star for that.

For the price, it is a great alternative option in comparison to the official controllers. Just be aware, they really only last for smash bros players for a couple of months before the joystick's padding comes off. After that, the C-stick may become a little unresponsive at times or some buttons may have slight difficulties. But it's really easy to replace and I'll definitely buy again! As for the first open, it's very responsive in timing and the cord is the average cord length. The frame holds well and works well. 10/10 would buy again!

It does what it's suppose to do: it works, thats it. That and it's super light but I never held a real Gamecube controller before. Personally, I don't like the controller. Probably Nintendo's worst designed controller but I needed it for the Wii.

Okay. So, I haven now had the chance to test this thing with both The Nintendo Gamecube, and the Computer. Even had a side by side comparison to a name brand controller.With that being said, lets dive in.The first thing you will notice is that this just looks cheaper than the name brand controller (And slightly smaller). The C-stick looks off and the controller looks faded.The next thing you will notice is upon plugging it in, you will realize there is no grip into the socket. Expect this thing to fall out constantly.Now, once you get past those problems, other than the L and R button grinding against the cheap plastic, They do still work and they are still responsive. The other buttons are responsive as well, except only 1 and it is an issue. The Right D-pad button does not register. Not on the computer, not on the gamecube. Granted, a good chunk of games don't use it, but it is extremely obvious in the ones that do. I give it 3 stars. D-pad is faulty, and the feel is terrible, but most of the buttons work and are responsive. I guess you get what you paid for though. My recommendation, don't get this controller if you can avoid it, and get a name brand one. It will be well worth your money in the long run. I am not sure how long this one will last. But I will do a small edit only if things go terribly wrong.Bottom line, this controller is meh.EDITED: Upon looking at the controller box, I realize the controller I got is not a Joytech controller, but the Cirka controller. Which might explain everything.

Lets see I will try to be as detailed as possible in this review to help you out the most.Recently I purchased one of these controllers so i would have an extra for when i have people over. It serves its purpose but it certainly is not perfect.I have 2 original Nintendo Gamecube controllers (purple) which still work perfectly and when i compare them together the original is far superior.So you might ask well what are these "flaws" that you speak of and I will list everything that i have found wrong or different.1. The left joystick has a terrible terrible deadzone, which i will explain, From the stick being stationary to when you tilt it in any direction the controller should have sensitivity so if you mash the stick all the way up or just slightly move the stick up it should be recognized differently. The controller does do this but the threshold of what is a slight tap and a full mash is so small it makes things like aiming precisely, walking or running, inching forward as opposed to walking forward waayyy more difficult than with my original Nintendo controllers.2. The left and right triggers are supposed to have a slight press and a full press function for games such as Super Mario Sunshine, the controllers have this function but there is no "click" in my right trigger but there is one in the left trigger. Nonetheless the function works but you kind of have to get a feel for it.3. The cord is VERY short but it is the same as the original Gamecube controllers that launched with the console, since then Nintendo has produced longer cables. Nothing a simple extension cable cant solve however.4. The Z button has to be pressed harder and now clicks unlike with my original controller which has a soft press (could just mean my original controller is old, but both of mine are like this)Truly my biggest flaw is number 1 on my list with the joystick. It makes games like Melee hard to use up air as opposed to up smash attacks etc. Or playing Legend of zelda on the virtual console it is hard as heck to use the bow and aim (not impossible just way more frustrating than necessary.However for 8 dollars you get what you pay for.

I'm bummed that the new WiiU doesn't support Gamecube games, but at least there is now an inexpensive solution to using the Gamecube controllers - this model. The adapter came without any instructions, but the picture on the box was enough - there are two USB connectors on the back of the WiiU console, and two plugs for this adaptor. All you have to do is plug it in, then plug in your Gamecube controllers to one of the four front ports. That's all there is to it. I find it refreshing to see such a simple installation, and reliable operation. I'm using controller extension cords with ours, and they work fine as well. All features of the GameCube controllers worked just as they should. It also got the "seal of approval" from my Wii expert (my son)!Summary: Simple, elegant solution to using the GameCube controller with the WiiU. Highly recommended.
