OG color scheme button sets are available for the 8bitdo 64 controller and they look excellent.
That'll be four bucks baby! You want fries with that?

My ass.... ehyahahaha.
@Know_not_Scotty_does Ohhh, lovely! The N64 has some beautiful colors, but the original shape just only works for N64 games.
Honestly, these should have shipped this way. They look so much better
I wonder if the original N64 controller would have been better served if Nintendo made more 2D games for it, or sold emulated games on it, or otherwise made more use of the d-pad.
I wonder how these feel compared to a gamecube controller. I found the gc controller feels good in emulators for n64.
I don't have a proper gc controller but I do have the retrofighter gc. For perfect dark and goldeneye, the "modern" layout on the 8bitdo controller feels really odd. I was not able to get comfortable with any of the layouts. Then again, its been years since I played around on a console and not been able to tweak the individual mapping so it could just be me.
For racing games and platformers they are great.
N64 controllers with this layout always annoy me, because you can't use them to play Goldeneye or Perfect Dark with the d-pad under your left thumb, and the analog stick under your right thumb. 1.2 Solitaire layout with the left grip on a standard controller is my preferred way to play these games.
Ok so I am not crazy then! Yeah, its miserable with this setup. I bought a modkit for the og controller for that exact reason.
Ooh, they knew to put the joystick on the left.
I wonder what those are like compared to the Retro Fighters Brawler 64.
I have the gamecube one and the og xbox one. They feel better than the gc ones and about the same as the og xbox one.
