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. Review: Best Third-Party GameCube Style Controller - 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. ## Features - GameCube-style wired USB Controller with 10 ft. cable - Anti-snapback analog sticks and fast-action L/R & ZL/ZR Buttons - Toggle shoulder button functions - Turbo settings - Officially Licensed by Nintendo ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01AD478IY | | Additional Features | Wireless | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,320 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #48 in Nintendo Switch Controllers | | Brand Name | HORI | | Button Quantity | 16 | | Color | Super Mario | | Compatible Devices | Nintendo Switch | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Controller Type | Gamepad | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (5,492) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00873124007152 | | Hardware Platform | nintendo_switch | | Item Dimensions | 6.3 x 4.92 x 3.35 inches | | Item Weight | 290 Grams | | Manufacturer | HORI | | Model Name | Battle Pad | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | UPC | 873124007152 | ## Images ![HORI Nintendo Switch Battle Pad (Mario) GameCube Style Controller - Nintendo Switch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iHG2ZBNXL.jpg) ![HORI Nintendo Switch Battle Pad (Mario) GameCube Style Controller - Nintendo Switch - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jngQVoORL.jpg) ![HORI Nintendo Switch Battle Pad (Mario) GameCube Style Controller - Nintendo Switch - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LVWVSoZsL.jpg) ![HORI Nintendo Switch Battle Pad (Mario) GameCube Style Controller - Nintendo Switch - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71n6bet3vEL.jpg) ![HORI Nintendo Switch Battle Pad (Mario) GameCube Style Controller - Nintendo Switch - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/414YqoGYj4L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this controller have rumble?** A: None of the three third-party officially licensed Nintendo Gamecube controllers have rumble. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT1QPny54CU **Q: Does this controller need a gamecube adapter?** A: You can plug three of these directly into your Nintendo switch dock. no adapter required.
