This is a great review. Thanks for going deep on the details. Just got a Brawler64 wireless recently and was disappointed by the latency I can feel when playing certain games (Turok is brutal) vs the original OEM controller. I might have to check one of these out.

Based upon your V1 review, I bought and reviewed it on my tech channel. Someone commented on that review this weekend to inform me of the V2 release. So, here I am again, checking out what you think about this version. Honestly, the changes are not worth buying the new version for a casual player. But the V2 seems to be a good buy for a more dedicated N64 player.

Nice. I wish i could gotten a v1 as i like the higher sensitivty. But the v2 is nice. One issue ive found with mine though is the diagnals are much higher on the left side compared to the right side of the analog. Up,down, left, and right are all at 80 though. Should i return for a new one?

Further proof that the analog stick gate can't be a perfect octagonal shape. They really should use the proper dimensions of that on the original, especially since they're clearly looking to match the original range as closely as possible. This would fix the issue with diagonals.
@ArchadesGames
@ArchadesGames Год назад
Definitely a contributing factor but at the same time I have seen this overcome in firmware on other devices. Also in software as the emulation results show. So I have hope for a patch to bring things into a more pleasing state. But as is so few things are truly adversely affected to make me write it off.

You doing a review of the 8bitdo replacement HAL stick for the original n64 controllers? it comes with their DYI kit that turns n64 controllers into bluetooth devices, but the analog stick seems to be compatible with OG boards. Would be nice to have a detailed review on that.

I know this might be fixed by now, but to anyone who has problems on Switch: I had to factory reset the controller before it worked. I just stuck a sewing needle in the back until all 4 lights lit up. It finally connected to the receiver plugged into the Switch after that. Whew!

What would be a good diagonal stick test? I saw this video after I'd ordered the Tribute v2 and am trying to work out if they have since fixed the issue on N64. I don't have the kit to try the gate software. GoldenEye seems to aim fine, I can turn tight in Wave Race, no issues swimming in Banjo Kazooie- which seemed like good tests. I'm going to try A-B with the OG in multiplayer but if there is anything specific to look out for, that would be helpful. I only have those games + MK64 and have ordered Rogue Squadron. My lap times were significantly better in Wave Race with the Tribute.
@ArchadesGames
@ArchadesGames Год назад
There are very few games where the diagonals will be an actual issue. GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Star Fox, Rogue Squadron, Battle for Naboo. If you rely on the absolute axis directions more than diagonals it will likely be unnoticeable.
@russelldobson9945
@russelldobson9945 Год назад
@@ArchadesGames Thanks- and for the detailed review. That's good to know. Rogue Squadron definitely feels different but I think the slightly increased dead zone and easier to move stick contribute just as much. It is the only game I feel a detriment. Overall I think it is a great controller and I mostly prefer it to the real deal.

I had no idea there was such a difference between the v1 and v2. Especially when on retro-bit’s website they just say there’s less lag and you cant update v1 to v2. As a person who exclusively plays n64 on real hardware, it look’s like v2 is a hard pass and i’ll keep using my V1’s.
