## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this controller work with pc also? And how does it connect to the Nintendo Switch?**
A: READERS VIEWING THIS BE WARNED. THIS CONTROLLER WORKS WITH PC BUT DOES NOT HAVE ANALOG TRIGGERS. It works fine for emulating Melee, or playing smash ultimate, but this controller does not have analog triggers and will NOT work with a TON of other gamecube games. DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU ARE USING IT FOR GAMECUBE EMULATION

**Q: Why is the USB cord detatchable if the controller isn't wireless?**
A: 1.) to answer the other answer… it is obviously NOT wireless, and you can not install batteries in the back. 2.) they did it so you can’t find the wire and have to buy another. They made the hike to plug into the controller just odd enough, you need one of their wires for the best connection too. So they are hoping you can’t find the wire one day, or the controller get’s from the connections. Planned obsolescence.

**Q: Do the joysticks press down on these? Some games use this as inputs and it's missing from the original gamecube controller.**
A: there was never a gamecube game that required that input, nor was it possible on both original and smash controllers. There's no chance that this will have that functionality.

**Q: Does it need an adapter for the switch or can i plug it into the switch directly?**
A: It does not need an adapter. It plugs in via USB.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Only way it could be better was if it was wired
*by A***W on August 20, 2025*

I love the tactile feel of the buttons, great controller for super smash brothers, please make a wireless version

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nostalgic Controller + High-Functioning Button Layout = Ultimate Synthesis
*by B***R on May 26, 2023*

Indeed, this controller brought back amazing memories as soon as I held it in my hands.The button layout is ideal for modern gaming design yet it is a precise replica of the original GameCube controllers, A.K.A, the beloved past.It is designed for Nintendo Switch and is perfectly compatible with all the modern games; this is partially true because of it's ideal design. Obviously, the Nintendo 64 Replica controller that is modernized for the Switch as a counter-example; would put you at a significant disadvantage in a lot of modern games due to the controller grip, shape, style, button layout, and general lack of modern and ideal structure. This controller might not be the absolute easiest to use in the new Switch library, it might lack a competitive edge in certain situations according to the limitations of the particular game design and events therein.On a more personal note, this controller brought me a ton of joy and nostalgia to be able to play with and use on my Nintendo Switch. This offers a refreshing way to experience new interactive media through the retro handheld control form.Thank you so much for selling me this wonderful technology. I appreciate the time you took to read my review.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect controller
*by E***D on May 17, 2024*

Item reviewed: PowerA Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch: GameCube Style - BlackDate reviewed: May 17, 2024I got this to use with my PC. I am running the Dolphin emulator and playing Zelda - The Wind Waker. I was using a generic controller initially, but it just doesn't play the same. This controller is perfect. It connected immediately and I was able to map all the buttons in the Dolphin software for this controller. Now I have a perfect working controller to play my game with an I'm very happy.I have the USB version, corded.
