HORI Nintendo Switch Battle Pad (Peach) GameCube Style Controller Officially Licensed By Nintendo - Nintendo Switch

Disclaimer: My review mainly focuses on comparing this controller with other third-party "GameCube"-like controllers. I will speak to its merit mostly within these comparisons. I have the Hori, PDP and wireless PowerA GameCube-style controllers. This is my favorite of the bunch. I mostly play Smash Bros though all controllers are compatible with most of the Switch library. This is worth noting in case you want a controller that can play more games than Smash and don't prefer or want to pay the Pro controller price. Further disclaimer: All three of these "GameCube" controllers feel more similar than different. The minor differences, however, are what make me prefer the Hori over the other two. If you really like the look of one over the other, it may be worth to buy on those grounds alone. (Or purchase all three like me.) I prefer the button feel of the Hori over the other two. The Hori buttons are a bit more supple and don't "click" as much as those of the PDP and PowerA, rendering a more smooth and "less-cheap" plastic feel. The difference in feel isn't that noticeable, however. The analog and C-sticks on the Hori also feel the best among the three. The travel distance on the PDP is WAY too long (probably its biggest knock) while the sticks on the PowerA are really tight, small and need to be broken into. I prefer the "new" trigger types of the PDP and Hori over the "classic" GameCube-style triggers. I like the weight of the Hori. It has the lightest weight of the three, which I also prefer. This does make it feel a bit more fragile than the other two. It still has a nice build quality, though. I would call it sleek. I think the size of the Hori controller is perfect. I have adult man hands and the PDP feels slightly large while the PowerA definitely feels small. (The PDP didn't feel that way until I tried the other two, though.) The Hori definitely has the best fit in the palms. All in all, the Hori gains my favor because I prefer all the minor characteristics that separate it from the other third-party GameCube-style controllers as described above. If you absolutely need wireless, go with PowerA. If you like a sturdier-feeling controller, go with PDP. If you prefer some of the characteristics I do, then definitely go with the Hori. (I also think the Hori has the best aesthetics.) Just a few more comments specific to this controller: My controller has always been responsive to button inputs. Not sure what that's about in others' experience. Perhaps a defective product or the controller wasn't taken care of properly. The Battle Pad is a bit more fragile-feeling than the others so one good drop may mess it up. Just speculation. The only glaring con of the Hori Battle Pad is an annoying red light stays on while the triggers are swapped to match the trigger configuration of the Pro controller. I put a piece of electrical tape over it. Not enough to knock it a star but a nuisance enough to bring it up in case this is a major turnoff.

10/10 love this ngl. Worth the price, great quality

I works really well but I was surprised that the ZL and ZR buttons are switched with the L and R buttons. I read the back and saw that there is a toggle ability... I'm leaving this review for anyone else who wants to switch them and isn't sure how to. To switch the buttons back, just hold down the ZR and ZL buttons when you plug in the USB to the system and a red light pops on to show that they're switched.

My daughter loves it. Hori makes good products.

I like it more than the blue Zelda one I have. I like how this one is green, my favourite colour - and it's translucent which is pretty cool too. The left joystick's cover has eroded a bit from excessive gameplay, but that's a non-issue. Absolutely no joy-con drift and that's the best - though, I do make sure to clean residue my thumb leaves off of it just because I hate the thought of it being a possibility

Gives that classic gamecube feel to the switch 2, really like it Mostly for ssbu

Great controller, very comfy! R and ZR buttons are swapped, for whatever reason (same with L and ZL). Only reason it’s not getting 5, but very good otherwise!

Perfect controller for kiddo. Big buttons and easy to hold with smaller hands

J'ai acheté une première fois cette manette le 14/12/2020 pour jouer à un jeu sur PC. Etant tombé amoureux de l'ergonomie de la manette de Gamecube dans mon enfance, je voulais pouvoir retrouver les sensations de cette dernière en priorité si je devais jouer sur PC avec une manette. La manette est une manette Switch et ses fonctionnalité; avec la forme de celle d'une manette de Gamecube et répond donc PARFAITEMENT à ce qui est annoncé. Pas de soucis de connexions, pas de soucis de cable trop court, pas de soucis de boutons permutés. Rien. Bonus : elle a tenu 4 ans ! Avec une ENORME solicitation. Et j'ai même gardé l'ancienne pour d'éventuelles pièces de rechange tellement j'ai été satistafit ! PS : Bien sûr, si vous voulez vraiment jouer avec un manette Gamecube sur PC vous pouvez aussi acheter un adaptateur, mais vous aurez parfois des problèmes de correspondance des touches si ce n'est pas un jeu Gamecube sur émulateur.

Ottimo prodotto, molto comodo . É molto piú economico rispetto agli altri controller. L' unico difetto é che non lo si può collegare direttamente alla console, ma serve un accessorio apposito

スマブラ用に購入。GCコンから乗り換えました。 精密な入力にもしっかり反応してくれます。が、スティックを全開に倒してNに戻すと、戻った反動で空ダ（左入力）してしまう事があります。スティックの感度過敏ぎみ。 逆にいえば私のようにザッパな入力でなく、精密に操作できる人にはかなり良いかと。 純正、偽物といろいろGCコンを使ってみていますが、最終的に操作性が一番いいのはこれかなと思っています。 なによりホームボタン等もろもろついている点が非常に便利。コスパも非常に良いと思います。

El niño al cual lo regalé estuvo encantado con el producto. Perfecto

2 meses de uso y estoy bastante contenta, se me ha caído ya dos veces y sigue intacto. Funcional y económico.
