It's a gamecube controller that was made when Smash 4 came out to support the USB-to-Gamecube adapter since Nintendo wasn't producing new Gamecube controllers at that point.

Hm, not sure when I would need this, but at such a cheap price there's really no reason not to buy one.
Yo, thanks a bunch. The odd price difference of the two is a blessing in disguise.

Heard nothing but praise for the controller. Might go this route instead of getting an 8bitdo.

It seems like it's user error in my experience.
The switch pro d pad is meant to be used to tap a direction and release.
If you use it to slide your thumb around the dpad while keeping even pressure, it gets all kinds of extra inputs.
Would this work in portable mode with a USB-A to C adapter, like this one?
Anyone?

also big thanks to OP and the SAVER promo code person. i wanted to read some reviews about the controller with hand size and what not and it looks like all the major game news site caught on to this about an hour ago. so these things are bound to be out of stock soon.
thanks again.
thanks again.
Damn, I had no idea you could use wired controllers in undocked mode, even if it does require an adapter
It's an ordinary USB C port, no reason it wouldn't work.
Oh damn

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Since I noticed your bolding in the op, I guess you'd be a right person to ask: what's wrong with the joy-con's d-pad in P. P. Tetris?
Thanks in advance and sorry about the hijack.

Where do I even enter the SAVER code on Gamestop's website?

On the Cart page, under where your PowerUp Rewards number goes, just above the checkout button.
Oh, forgot about that!
Just tried with the adapter that came with my S8 and yep!!

Tried PS4 and XBO USB controllers (third party) and they didn't.
I have the newest hori fight commander which has PS3, PS4 and PC options. I might try to see if it works.

It's lit! Hopefully they don't fuck up GC controller support. Let me please VC games with it PLEASEEEEEE!!!
It feels nice! Great dpad and face buttons, ergonomics are fine, only downside is having a single set of shoulder buttons.
Sweet! I may get one then!

The d-pad on some controllers is overly sensitive when it comes to quick movement and it may register rapid or right left pressing as a diagonal or an up command. This is notable in games like Zelda where d-pad up opens one part of the item menu while the other two open up different menus. Also in Puyo Puyo Tetris when you play the tetris portion you might accidentally trigger an up-command to make the block instantly go down instead of just moving to a side.
Considering that the controllers themselves can update as confirmed by this firmware, I wonder if they can fix it through another firmware update.
This is great as it suggests there's a standardised wired controller input for Switch! As opposed to the Wii U's odd one off propriety cases, namely this pad and the GC controllers only working for Pokkén and Smash respectively.
Ordered a Pokkén controller, £17 off Amazon UK. Is it fairly easy to get working on PC?

I can't really imagine where else you'd put the USB-C port for it to properly work with the dock.
Thanks!

Bet Gamestop is pretty happy they were finally able to clear out their stock of unsold Pokken pads.
