The 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller is cheaper than Nintendo's official N64 controller for Switch — and aside from one small issue, I can't recommend it enough
The 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller is an excellent alternative to the official Switch 2 N64 pad. It's got a more contemporary controller silhouette, ditching the charming yet awkward trident-like design of Nintendo's own. You won't find much use for it with modern titles thanks to the lack of a second thumbstick, but the faithful feel and build quality make it ideal for NSO's retro libraries.
Pros
- +Nails that N64 look and feel
- +Wonderfully chunky Hall effect stick
- +Solid battery life
- +Recognized as an N64 controller on Switch consoles
Cons
- -Awkward triggers and shoulder button layout
- -You're paying extra for the N64 colorway
