   Opened my Switch Online N64 controller and the L button doesn't have this amazing plastic smell the original had... I call F A K E
   
   Okay, but really
   
   The Snes controller feels... good? The plastic is a tad rough actually, maybe they changed it for better grip? But what annoys me the most is that the connecting seems in the plastic can be felt. Otherwise, the controller feels pretty damn good I guess? Except start and select, but then again, my controllers I'm used to has suffered like 30 years of very hard gamer presses lol. And the added SL and SR buttons are welcomed
   
   The N64 controller feel pretty damn awesome, pretty much almost like the original. It has an extra SR (but not SL???) and screenshot and home button on the top, so more buttons to remap for something else, maybe

     @coolboymew those controllers look nice. Do you have the 8bitdo SNES-like controller? That would be an interesting comparison

     @ElDeadKennedy nope, sorry, I don't. I didn't hear bad things about that one. The one to avoid is their "Ultimate controller" I heard, which you'd just be better using any other official controller (other than the Switch Pro, unless you want to open it and put tape around the d-pad to fix the fucking input bleeding problem, but I'm sure that'd be no problems for you)

     >almost like the original
     Let me guess. Same analogue stick as the original standard N64 controller?

     @camedei456 the actual stick? Yes. The Internals? Probably not?

     @camedei456 Oh, you mean that. No, it's an N64 stick and apparently it's the same stick as the N64, but improved

     If I'm not mistaken, I recall hearing on /vr/ that they did not make the same mistake as the NA original N64 stick and these are actually prelubed so it shouldn't wear down this badly

     This is the same company that gave gamers drifting sticks. You'd be surprised.

     @coolboymew yeah a lot of the old controllers, how people remember them is very broken in. that's not how they originally were though, they were harder plastic that hadn't been worn down as much and the buttons and sticks were pretty stiff to begin with. the SNES and NES start and select buttons definitely feel super weird on brand new controllers because they were these weird rubber things. same thing with the gameboy.
