Lets see I will try to be as detailed as possible in this review to help you out the most.
Recently I purchased one of these controllers so i would have an extra for when i have people over. It serves its purpose but it certainly is not perfect.
I have 2 original Nintendo Gamecube controllers (purple) which still work perfectly and when i compare them together the original is far superior.
So you might ask well what are these "flaws" that you speak of and I will list everything that i have found wrong or different.
1. The left joystick has a terrible terrible deadzone, which i will explain, From the stick being stationary to when you tilt it in any direction the controller should have sensitivity so if you mash the stick all the way up or just slightly move the stick up it should be recognized differently. The controller does do this but the threshold of what is a slight tap and a full mash is so small it makes things like aiming precisely, walking or running, inching forward as opposed to walking forward waayyy more difficult than with my original Nintendo controllers.
2. The left and right triggers are supposed to have a slight press and a full press function for games such as Super Mario Sunshine, the controllers have this function but there is no "click" in my right trigger but there is one in the left trigger. Nonetheless the function works but you kind of have to get a feel for it.
3. The cord is VERY short but it is the same as the original Gamecube controllers that launched with the console, since then Nintendo has produced longer cables. Nothing a simple extension cable cant solve however.
4. The Z button has to be pressed harder and now clicks unlike with my original controller which has a soft press (could just mean my original controller is old, but both of mine are like this)
Truly my biggest flaw is number 1 on my list with the joystick. It makes games like Melee hard to use up air as opposed to up smash attacks etc. Or playing Legend of zelda on the virtual console it is hard as heck to use the bow and aim (not impossible just way more frustrating than necessary.
However for 8 dollars you get what you pay for.
