    Anyone have experience using these 3rd party controllers with Switch?

      While you are waiting for replies, there are is a bit of discussion in the last $24.98 deal.

    • dvstec on 19/11/2020 - 10:57

      I grabbed 4 of them last deal, they are great, we use them for Mario Kart and I cant fault them.

      • mavis30551 on 19/11/2020 - 11:03

        silly question probably but how do you connect 4 controllers to the switch?

        • Merlict on 19/11/2020 - 11:09
          +1

          You can use a regular USB hub on the Switch

          • MasterScythe on 19/11/2020 - 11:13
            +6

            @Merlict: Just don't do it, if you're competitive with fighting games.

            The polling frequency of USB, divided by 4, is noticeable if you're used to frame-exact cancellations (like in BlazBlue).
            For once, a wireless technology is actually faster ><

            • Merlict on 19/11/2020 - 11:18

              @MasterScythe: Had no idea.

              Wonder if the USB Gamecube controller adapter has the same problem

              • MasterScythe on 19/11/2020 - 11:29
                +5

                @Merlict: Yep, both run at the default 125hz (8ms).
                If you start dividing that polling rate into 4 (so multiplying the input delay), you get significant time (8ms, 16ms, 24ms, 32ms).
                Where with Bluetooth up to 24 devices, they can all handle 125hz polling rate (8ms, so long as less than 24 bluetooth devices are connected).

                Yes, it affects any time you use the USB connection for more than 1 thing.

                For games with some level of 'warning' (mariokart for example, you can see the turns), your brain easily adjusts to the 16ms or so polling of 2 controllers being wired.
                But much more beyond that, or any game that requires twitch reactions, and you can usually feel it significantly.

                  @MasterScythe: That is bizarre and fascinating!

                  I guess it makes sense since they'll all be treated as coming from the same IO for the CPU.

                  Does this mean that keyboards and mice attached via a usb hub are halving their polling rates or is this only applicable to the Switch/consoles without more advanced ports.

                  • MasterScythe on 20/11/2020 - 01:04

                    @Telios: Yes, likely, but not always. Some peripherals can negotiate faster polling; like 1000hz gaming mice which need drivers.

                    Some usb hubs "ask" for 250 or 500hz polling.

                    In windows you can set custom polling rates via the registry.

        If you prefer wireless and already have other consoles (PS3, PS4, Wii U Pro, xbox one s, etc) 8bitdo adapters are only a few dollars more at $22 (inflated because of COVID, you can sometimes find them for less than $15):

        https://www.8bitdo.com/wireless-usb-adapter/

        https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=8bitdo+usb…

        We never bothered buying any $80 Switch Pro controllers because the PS4 controller is almost as good.

        Cheap, wireless, and no-one can whine about getting the crappy controller when they lose.

    • MasterScythe on 19/11/2020 - 11:01

      They're technically not 3rd party; at least not in the traditional sense.
      Nintendo doesn't really do a whole lot of physical manufacturing, and the company is officially licences to create their controllers.
      It's not like madcatz or such where it 'works with {console}', this is official switch branded equipment.

      And yes, I've tried them, Felt 1:1 with my gamecube controllers.

  • godofpizza on 19/11/2020 - 11:00

    is it possible to connect these to a wiiu to gamecube?

      Only via an ATARI 2600 with an in-built Commodore 64.

        It’s ironic that you gave a smart ass answer because you think it’s a stupid question - yet it is you who doesn’t know what you’re talking about.

        Apparently works with Nintendont, would also potentially work with HID TO VPAD.

          I think he just found the question funny; i mean;

          connect these to a wiiu to gamecube?

          Connecting this controller, to a wiiU, and connecting a wiiU to a Gamecube would be one hell of a daisychain and homebrew scenario to re-output the input commands.

          I chuckled too; if you've ever programmed for either console, even though the question is a mistake, the magnitude of what hes asking is a good laugh.

          Its the project size thats funny….Like… "Can my 3d printer hot end cook a steak".
          i mean… yeah! But…. Imagining the magnitude of writing that GCode is just brutal!

      This has digital triggers only, so you'd be using the controls remapped like the Pro controller

          I believe any Gamecube controller now works with the OG control scheme if you use it through the Gamecube controller adapter

          Probably have the best luck with proper Nintendo ones though

  • Mr Mrrtn on 19/11/2020 - 13:45

    Is there a wireless adapter for switch that accepts the usb on this controller? Eg similar to how 8bitdos adapter connects to the gamecube controller to make it wireless? Cheers. And thanks OP for the deal

  • aka nioh on 20/11/2020 - 13:44

    My 2 cents after trying the controller out for half n hr

    L n r Triggers feel v diff to gc controller

    I find fast falling a little harder with pdp, but short hopping easier compared to gc. This is for smash

    Otherwise pretty much the same but the black link version looks bad ass compared to any other controller including the official gc controller

  • [Deactivated] on 20/11/2020 - 14:10

    Are the triggers analogue like OG GC controllers or digital like switch ones? Anyone know?

    • PainToad on 20/11/2020 - 14:41

      Not analogue.

  • zombrex on 20/11/2020 - 23:14

    Order from amazon and got it today in regional Victoria.
    These controllers are certainly not bad for the price not as good as official game cube controller however better than the typical Chinese knockoffs.
    Can't go wrong for $17 to $25.

    • VLine90 on 21/11/2020 - 10:56

      These are all $40 plus on Amazon AU

      • zombrex on 21/11/2020 - 12:32

        Check again, Pichu and Pikachu are still $25.
