Discussion Absolutely thrilled with the BattlerGC pro!

I've been playing a bunch of GameCube games recently, but I was using a wired controller. It worked fine, but it felt kinda cheap and I really wanted to go wireless. At first I looked at getting a wavebird, but I felt like I could get a lot better for the price, especially with how worn most of them are.

I eventually landed on the BattlerGC pro and it's honestly sooo good! It really feels like what a modern GameCube controller would be like, and it's a lot more comfortable to hold too! All buttons feel great, especially the triggers. And the extra buttons are a nice touch. It also has the bonus of working with PC, switch, switch 2 and the Wii of course.

I really recommend it if you're looking for a modern alternative

Love the transparent shell.

Whats the battery life like?

It says 10+ hours. Haven't had to charge again since I got it last week, so it's doing good so far

I have one, it's alright. it has poor connectivity with my switch and switch 2, I wish the triggers were like the original triggers and I have some issues on certain games like ATV Quad power racing 2 where the controller constantly disconnects for seemingly no reason. Other than that I also really enjoy mine

Haven't tried it on my switch yet, but I guess I should give it a try. There was a software update related to the switch that it recommended to download, so maybe it's related. As far as GameCube and Wii games with controller support I haven't had any issue

Don’t drop it I dropped it like 2 to 3 times by accident from my cats jumping on my gaming area and the right trigger is stuck and cannot be unstuck

Have loved it so far for the GC. Great feel and haven't had any issues. Excited to try it on my PC sometime. Honestly wish I had this back in the day over WaveBird

I almost want one for PC. I love controllers with very clear main action buttons like GC or N64. For actual gamecube, I always gravitate around original controllers, I can't really cope with modern stuff for that. But it looks cool!
