What I didn't necessarily expect was to find that the internal dead-zone on the controller is 2 to 3 times that of the original GameCube controller's. This is actually a fairly nice, albeit slight change, as it makes the controller much easier to use with games other than Smash, which require use of the right stick as the camera.Īs for the left stick, it's slightly more stiff than my old GameCube's, though that much is to be expected. The C-stick now has a significantly wider top, now with overhanging edges and an adjusted range of motion that now puts it on par with the left stick. To list them, this controller has a second Z button above the left trigger, the two analogue sticks click in for RS and LS buttons, and there are +, -, home, capture, and turbo buttons right in the center where previously only start lay. Well, the first striking difference would need to be in the Exlene's afore-mentioned extra buttons. Because I'm sure there are a vast majority of you whose hands are so finely tuned to the form of the original GameCube controller and all its affixed apparatuses, I'll start by listing every pedantic difference I could find between this Exlene controller and my well-used silver OG controller.

What we have here is Exlene's offering of a GameCube-shaped controller for the Switch and PC which features the full swathe of buttonage that one would find on any modern controller, as well as gyroscopic support to bring it on functional par with the Switch's Pro controller (minus NFC support).
Presented before us is a 3rd party offering from Exlene which emulates the basic form, while promising additional functionality for a cool $40, but can the brand hold a proper candle to Nintendo's own OG controller? What about other contemporaries on the market today? I'd like to find out. In short: people love this alien apparatus of a controller, and not without good reason. The GC controller is the Smash competitor's #1 utility almost universally across the board, and it's become accepted as the definitive way to Smash since the inception of Melee's competitive scene. A design so eternally popular that Nintendo themselves have even reconstructed its form as much as 15 years after the console's original release.
Ah, the slick ergonomics of a good GameCube controller.
