Pros: Works without drivers, supports two controllers, easy to use
Cons: None
There probably isn't a huge market for an N64 USB adapter since most people who need one are probably using it for an emulator. It wouldn't make sense to use an N64 controller for other games. However, I'm glad an adapter like this exists because playing N64 games on the PC just doesn't really work with a keyboard/mouse or other types of controllers. There's always an option of getting a third-party USB N64 controller, but I'm always wary of using third-party controllers. Most don't feel right or break quickly. I prefer to use OEM if possible, and this adapter let's me do that. I have a bunch of old N64 controllers lying around, so using an adapter makes sense. It's about the same price as those third-party controllers anyway, so might as well get this and use the real one.
If you're in Windows, then using this is pretty straight-forward. Just plug it in and it should recognize the controller right away. I recommend you go through calibration so the joystick is properly configured. After that, it's just a matter of configuring the controller in whichever emulator you're using. You might need to play with the dead-zone and sensitivity of the joystick in the emulator options to get it close to original feel of the console. This will just require some trial and error until it feels natural.
I highly recommend this adapter if you have an original N64 controller lying around. Don't buy the third-party, no-name USB controllers you see all over Amazon and eBay.

Does not work with retropie which is why I ordered it. Supposedly this is the same thing as the HuiJia version. However there is something in the name of the device that linux is puking on. Works perfect on jtest, and you can manually make a profile for the controller, but the generated files in mupen64plus.cfg will have a special character preceding the the device name. I believe this character is casing some mapping issues, which is unfortunate because it simply does not work, even though it should and is detected fine! I have attached a picture of what happens in the mupen64plus.cfg file when we attempt to use this adapter.

You HAVE TO CALIBRATE IT!!! If you don't it won't work right. Windows reads the anolog stick as a "square" instead of a circle. So you need to open up your start menu search joystick and hit advanced then calibrate, follow all the prompts and BOOM works 100% for Mario 64 (able to walk slowly) accurate aiming for Zelda and the like, JUST LIKE THE WAY YOU REMEMBER (given its an origonal controller and your emulator settings are correct). Literally one of my best purchases this year. Well well worth it. Again don't listen to the bad reviews, they didn't know what they were doing.

I purchased this N64 controller adaptor as part of a Raspberry Pi project using RetroPie and EmulationStation. I had to do a little work to get the N64 controllers to map for some emulators (especially MAME), but many of the included systems worked right out of the box. Unfortunately, the RPi 2 which I was using really didn't have the CPU to render N64 games properly in real-time so I had to switch to using SNES controllers. That was a failure of the RPi and not this adaptor. I'm hoping to get an RPi 3 soon and test to see if the performance has gotten better.

Plugged this in with an original N64 controller and it worked perfectly. I mapped the buttons in Project64 1.6 and I was able to play right away.
One minor problem I found was that the character (Mario in Super Mario 64) would walk very slowly. I went into 'Devices and Printers' then 'USB Gamepad' and calibrated my controller. After this everything worked great!!
Any problems that I read about seem to only effect aftermarket controllers.

worked perfectly, but as stated before, if your using this to play a n64 emulator (which im sure you will lol) you gotta map your buttons and also calibrate the controller before playing, or else your going to have a controller that you cant play on.
if your using project 64 and running windows 7, this is what i did. (this may work on vista since the two are similar)
1. plug in the adapter to your computer and let the drivers install.
2. after the drivers install, plug in your controler into the adapter.
3. open the start menu (the blue round windows button) then type into the "search programs and files bar" "usb" and wait for a list to show up.
4. click on "set up usb game controllers" should be the first one.
NOTE* a small window will then pop up with two "USB gamepad" with the status OK next to them. (heres a trick thats somewhat confusing. the ports on the adapter are backwards, so the first player plugin is actually second player. and second is first player. the plugin by the "N64 controller" print on the adapter is first player. and the plugin by "adapter" is second)
5. click the first usb gamepad (which will be player 1 on the adapter) and click on "properties"
6. another window will pop up. move the joystick around and make sure the little marking in the small box is moving, if so then continue to step 7. if not, try to plug the controller into the other port or select the other usb gamepad.
7. click the "settings" tab then click on "calibrate"
8. follow the on screen prompts and after your done, click "apply" then click "OK", then exit out of the usb game pad window then open up your project 64 emulator.
9. before selecting a rom, click the "options" menu and select "settings"
10. select under "input (controller) plugin" Jabos direct input, then click "OK"
NOTE* there are other plugins that you can select, but jabos is the one i used and the one that worked best for me.
11. click options again and click on "configure controller plugin", a small window will pop up.
12. you will see "game device, dead zone of 25%" at the top with a small arrow. click on that then select the first USB gamepad. click the check mark box next to "controller is plugged in"
13. map your buttons by clicking on the small box to the right next to each selection, then hitting the corresponding button on your 64 controller. after your done click "OK"
14. click file the open the rom you wanna play, enjoy! :)

Plug and Play und los geht die Retro Session.
Reviewed in Germany on January 4, 2017Verified Purchase
Hallo,
Habe mir den Controller Adapter gekauft um meine alten Retro Spiele in den Hyperspin oder auf dem Retropie einzupflegen.
Die Installation ist denkbar einfach, man schließt das ganze per USB an und kann danach bis zu 2 Retro Controller (Original oder B-Ware spielt dabei keine Rolle) anschließen, diese werden sofort erkannt und man drauf los daddeln.
Als System habe ich das Ganze auf einem i5 mit Windows 10 x64, einem X4 mit Windows 7 x64 und einem Rassberry Pi probiert.
Das Gerät an sich ist recht unscheinbar, komplett in schwarz gehalten und nicht größer als eine Zigaretten Schachtel. Der USB Kabel ist ca. 1m lang und in den meisten Fällen sollte das mit dem Normalen Controller Kabel locker reichen.
Würde den Artikel jederzeit wieder kaufen und kann ihn deshalb uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
PS: Wenn euch meine Rezension gefallen hat würde ich mich freuen wenn ihr diese mit "Hilfreich" bewertet. Vielen Lieben Dank. :)

Reviewed in Germany on December 23, 2016Verified Purchase
Hatte den Adapter am Mac (OS 10.12) im Einsatz.
Controller wurde erkannt und funktionierte auch mit einer kleinen (aber entscheidenden) Ausnahme:
Einer der C-Knöpfe wurde vom Converter dauerhaft als "gedrückt" angesehen, wodurch ein normales Spielen nicht möglich war.
Auch mehrere Neustarts und der Versuch mit einem anderen N64-Controller lieferten das selbe Ergebnis.
Ob nun der Mac oder Emulator das Problem war oder der Controller schlicht einen Defekt aufwies kann ich nicht sagen, da das Teil kurzer Hand zurück ging.

Lo bueno
-Tal cual para lo que lo buscaba, poder jugar en multijugador
-No olviden calibrar (y/o reparar) sus controles antes de jugar ya que el reconocimiento del stick es tan bueno que detecta palancas en mal estado y/o de controles de marcas genéricas
-El cable tiene un buen largo, así que fácilmente puede conectarse detrás de la pc.
-Envío como siempre eficaz, llegando en alrededor de 4 días hábiles (con envió gratuito)
Si quieres revivir la nostalgia de jugar 4 personas, y aún conservas los controles de n64, es un gadget que si o si te recomendaría conseguir.

Rango cuadrado. No recomendable para juegos en 1ra persona.
Reviewed in Mexico on May 10, 2021Verified Purchase
El rango del control es diferente al de un control de N64 original o un control de Xbox, haciendo que la sensibilidad de las esquinas sea mucho mayor al de los 4 aristas. En sí ésto no se nota mucho cuando se trata de mover a un personaje en 3ra persona, pero a la hora de controlar la cámara en 1ra persona puede ser un poco molesto al principio o más difícil de controlar.
También en ocasiones al conectarse, el puerto de jugador 1 y 2 se pueden intercambiar sin razón aparente. Otra cosa a tener en cuenta.
Funciona bien para todo lo que no sea shooters.

Controller sind praktisch per "plug and play" erkannt worden....wunderbar!
Alles hat soweit funktioniert bis auf den Analogen Joystick des N64 Controller.
Um ein defekt am Controller auszuschließen, habe ich mir noch einen Controller geliehen und diesen angeschlossen. ....
leider auch hier hatte der Joystick keine Funktion.
Die PC-Plattform war ein Win 7 Rechner.
Schade, an sich eine gute Idee.
