    I've been using the same Gamecube controller since 2007 and my Switch Joycons broke in 6 months.

      My Gamecube and my four controllers still work like a dream. Tried to play some Smash on Switch with my friends - the drift was redonk. Did Nintendo hire Wildcatz to make those controllers?

        Apparently the ps4/5, xbox, and switch all use the same brand of joystick that drifts after like 400 hours. My original Xbox One controller must've been before MS switched suppliers though cause it's not had those issues after 5 years of heavy use (there are other minor problems though, like shoulder buttons sticking slightly)

            I'm just glad they work so well with Steam because wired switch pro controllers are the cheapest ones I typically see and some (PDP Faceoff + Fightpad Pro, PowerA) are genuinely really nice feeling aside from the face button layout (which you can remap)

        Feels like it. I'm using my GameCube controller right now to play Melee, works perfectly.
