    Wavebird wireless GameCube controller FTW! I still have mine, 20 years later. Still works too. I bust it out once or twice a year when we play Mario Party 5 or 7.

      It’s crazy that I still have a ton of gamecube controllers in perfect condition that have hundreds of hours of use each and yet I’ve got a box of useless joycons.

      They literally don’t make them like they used to.

        I’ve had to throw away 3 Switch (3rd party) controllers due to drift issues, and I had to send my stock joy cons back to Nintendo for repair due to drift. Ridiculous.

          Its not too difficult to swap out the thumb sticks with hall effect versions and (mostly) solve the drift problem.

            Probably, but that’s not the consumers responsibility to fix a defective product. Now maybe after many hours of use, but mine was drifting within the first year.

          I still have my original joycons on my release day switch and never had an issue with the joycons on my oled or my other set bought used…I must be lucky

      I broke my first one raging at Soul Calibur 2, but my replacement is still going strong!
