Wireless N64 controller recommendations

Owsleygarcia95 · August 18, 2023

I never got very far in Super Mario 64 as a kid, didn't own the console. Was wondering if anyone has used any of the wireless N64 controllers. I'm assuming the vast majority are from no name brands and aren't that great. I don't really care if it's top of the line, but I'd rather not buy one that breaks in a week. Would really prefer to avoid wired if possible. Any suggestions, even if it's just a brand to avoid, would be great.

I haven't tried any of the generic ones that have popped up more recently. 8BitDo briefly made one, RB8, it is nice. Hard to get ahold of now though at a decent price.

I also have some wired RetroLink ones, definitely cheaper ones, and nowhere near the feel of the 8BitDo, they feel cheap, however they have held up ok, so I'll give them that.

Thanks I will check those out.
