These were made years ago and sat on due to the Analogue 3D's delays, so they're not very good at all. The build quality isn't up to more recent 8bitdo standards, and if you're concerned with N64 gameplay specifically, the analog stick has the wrong gate shape, which fucks up the range of the sticks.

so i should stick to my modified original then? specifically i replaced its stick with the 8bitdo hall effect one released a few years ago but didn't order or install the wireless mod

The Tribute 64 already exists for your N64 needs and it comes with 2.4ghz dongles for the OG console and the Switch/PC. I have the an 8bitdo ultimate 2, and while it's my go-to controller for PC, it gets uncomfortable to hold after a while and the 8bitdo 64 controller has the same shape/motherboard. Never had comfort issues holding this goofy looking controller.

I'd wait. The first batch of controller are only in black and white because they were color matched to the delayed Analogue 64. I fully expect more colors later on with colored face buttons.

the grips have no outward angle to them, doesn't look like it would be comfortable to hold for very long.

It's universally agreed that the Brawler 64 by retrofighters is complete ASS, but it's still one of the more popular controllers because it was the first wireless modernized n64 controller to hit the market. The Tribute 64 by retro-bit is actually a modernized version of an old Hori pad for n64, and it addresses all the issues that plagued the Brawler 64. The stick is actually really smooth and accurate for N64. Some people claim it's a wee bit too sensitive in the diagonals for certain games, but it's a marvel they got it as close to accurate as they did with a modern gamecube style stick. I doubt the 8bitdo pad is more accurate, but it's not like it matters, since you can't connect it to an N64 unless you use a bluetooth adapter that adds even more latency.

I could tell it was a cheap piece of shit at a glance when I noticed how droopy and low the A and B buttons were. Clearly they just reused a stock controller board and put them where the right stick would be.

Just buy picrel, if you want to use it on the n64 get a Blueretro adapter.
You're gonna pay just as much for a used first party controller so might as well go for a 1rst party controller that has a more durable stick and intergrated rumble. 3rd party controllers usually have some fucking retarded ass deadzone issues with the joystick.

I went on an autism N64 stick binge, and from what other's have said, the tribute 64's stick is shit. The most accurate one outside of a brand new oem, is 8bitdo's stick they made for their N64 controller modkit. I don't know if their new N64 controller uses the same stick

The problem with the NSO controller is that the stick is almost exactly the same as the original one, so it has the same point of failure, though I'm told these come prelubed so it should be a bit more durable

For FPS games most of them let you rebind to move with d-pad and aim with stick which is the best control scheme for them. The 8bitdo controller can't do that.

Games like Doom 64, GoldenEye, and Perfect Dark came out for the N64. Using a mouse to make them easier is cheating, so you can't actually beat the game unless you use a controller.

I guess but those aren't the first games that come to mind when someone mentions playing FPS games on a controller.
And Doom 64 can be played purely on keyboard if you want even less control.

It can though? Bind movement to D-pad, bind the look to the right stick. It's how I played TWINE.

You can plug a BT receiver into an original N64, but the controller is made to be used for an FPGA console which specifically plays N64 games.

There were two variants. The one with the Dpad in the center and the V2 with the dpad closer to the stick. The V2 is vastly better when it comes to stick range and deadzones, but it's physically a different stick compared to OEM, so you're not gonna get the exact same ranges due to the fact that all the corners of the stick gate for GC style sticks are equidistant, whereas the OEM stick gate had slightly closer diagonals. For most games it's no biggie, for example in Mario 64 you can have mario tiptoe, slow walk, jog, and run at the appropriate percentage the stick is pushed, but in games that have a reticule in the middle of the screen or FPS games the diagonals feel like they they're a little bit more sensitive because the game doesn't have an outer deadzone programed. It's not too bad for sin and punishment or Star Fox, but for Golden Eye and Perfect Black it's noticeable enough that you'd want to use a variant control scheme instead.

TLDR: if you want 1:1 perfect compatibility for the entire n64 library, then you have to use an OEM style stick, otherwhise the Tribute 64 has one of the best gamecube style sticks for roughly 95% of the games people care about.

I have high hopes. Bought two as a trial run, and I'll (eventually) pick up another two if these turn out to be good. This type of controller seems ideal for local multiplayer via emulator.

I really wish the steel stick meme wasn't a meme because upgrading my original controllers to be more durable is a dream. I just don't trust the quality of any of the replacement sticks 100%.
