TUTUO CONTROLLER

Product Information

It might not be as convenient as if the developers officially supported the controller themselves, but it works. You can connect the Switch Pro controller to PC with or without a wire, so it stands to reason I'll be able to use this new N64 controller on PC too, right? The N64 Controller for Switch can be connected to the PC via USB-C and Bluetooth, but only work as a generic DirectInput controller and requiring the use of a XInput wrapper (see XInput wrappers) for games that only use the XInput API.

Suppose you don't have an old Nintendo 64 controller and aren't especially bothered about authenticity. We’ve added new “Screenshot”, “Home” and “-” buttons to the Brawler64 wireless controller to make it fully compatible with the Nintendo Switch. We’ve compiled a list of the best N64 controllers you can purchase to take your Nintendo 64 gaming to a whole new level.Sure, but this new N64 controller being an official Nintendo release all but guarantees it'll be adequately supported one way or another. I love that N64 mode is actually recognized by the Switch as an N64 controller as it displays the controller you’re using as the official Nintendo brand unit.

This controller even has 4 trigger buttons on the back of it and its yellow arrow camera buttons are designed to mimic the N64’s as well.

The best thing about the controller was that it seemed perfectly designed for the games released on the N64 console. In other words, it's only meant to be used with a PC and may not function properly with something that can't recognize its inputs, like a Nintendo Switch. The controller requires a wired adapter to be able to be used on PC (See Hardware), and even then, depending on the adapter used, it can work as either an DirectInput device or an XInput device. If you hook up a Switch Pro controller to a PC, however, then Steam will offer you configuration support.

Most importantly, you won’t need two different controllers to play your favorite N64 games on Nintendo Switch Online. Like if I press it up, but accidentally angle it a bit to the left, it will occasionally activate C-Left instead of C-Up.

What we like is that they use some very nice, tactile buttons that are thick enough for adult fingers to press. Once I stumbled across the Kickstarter for this new Bluetooth NSO version I just had to finally give in.
