I recently bought this controller last week specifically to play Gamecube Emulator games on Dolphin.
The controller itself reminds me of the original in every way. The buttons are just fine and feel good enough without being too loose or cheap.
The only negative thing I have is that it doesn't come in my favorite GC controller color Orange. The Indigo color is my 2nd favorite because that was the color of my GC console when I owned one back in the day.
Not a big deal but FYI to the MFG, if you build it (Orange), I will immediately purchase a 2nd. J/S
The top review for this controller posted the list of steps in order to configure to Dolphin. It helps some but it took me an hour to actually figure out how to map each button. Here is the list that I configured to make the controller work perfectly.
1. Top Left Corner: Change the output to USB GENERIC CONTROLLER. Hit Refresh to make it pop up if it is blank.
2. Under each column listed, right click the button and choose the correct option.
Button Configuration: Keyboard #Keys = Gamecube Buttons
Key 0 = Y
Key 1 = X
Key 2 = A
Key 3 = B
Key 4 = L
Key 5 = R
Key 6 = Z
Key 9 = START
Main Analog Stick (Grey)
UP = Axis Y-
DOWN = Axis Y+
LEFT = Axis X-
RIGHT = Axis X+
C-STICK (Yellow)
UP = Axis Zr-
DOWN = Axis Zr+
LEFT = Axis Z-
RIGHT = Axis Z+
D-PAD (GREY) (N,S,E,W is the Compass reference)
UP = Hat 0 N
DOWN = Hat 0 S
LEFT = Hat 0 W
RIGHT = *You guessed it* Hat 0 E
You should check each button on the controller as they will highlight in RED if they are correct on the screen. Once everything is mapped correctly you'll need to save the configuration on the top RIGHT corner. Name the configuration whatever you want and now you have it saved.
So far the games that I have played with the controller that work perfectly on Dolphin are (Hulk Ultimate Destruction, SSBM, Super Mario Sunshine, Batman Vengeance, Luigi's Mansion, Judge Dredd vs. Death, Metroid Prime)
Best website to go to for ISO downloads is Emuparadise.

TL/DR, Don't waste your time or money, get an adapter.

I purchased this to play Super Smash Bros. Melee on the Dolphin Emulator, to see if I would enjoy the game enough to invest in quality peripherals.The first time I plugged the controller into my PC, the drivers installed, and Dolphin recognized it instantly. During calibration, every input was recognized, but there were two minor issues. The first issue I encountered was the complete lack of analog control on both triggers (L and R); any input, semi or full depression, was recognized as full depression only. The second issue was that the C-Stick was registering as being tilted up and left, even though it was centered on the controller. Rather disappointed, I started Melee and did a test run with a CPU. A moderate amount of input lag was immediately noticeable; still serviceable, but, again, disappointing.This is where the serious issue presented itself.After removing the controller from my computer, any attempt to plug it back in resulted in a "USB Device Not Recognized" popup (See image below), and a completely unresponsive controller. It seems that after only one use, the driver software became corrupted, leaving the controller completely unusable.There are no drivers available for this controller apart from the one pre-installed in the controller's chipset; the disc included with the controller is not driver software for the controller, it is driver software for the vibration function.My advice to those considering purchasing this controller is, DON'T. Spend your money on a Wii U adapter and a used controller on Ebay, the Pelican/GameStop G3's are decent and can be had for around $10.00.

Came 15 days early and was shipped from New York when they were being effected by corona the worst in the world. Amazing product. Feels nice. The plastic is a little unshaped but after 1 minute of using the controller, most of the extra plastic fell off. Feels good and having fun.
