The 8 Best N64 Bluetooth Controllers (2023 reviews)

If you want nothing short of the optimal controller for your regular usage, this retro fighters n64 bluetooth controller is certainly a wise investment. The Joystick feels great and materials feel OEM. It is great for retro gaming enthusiasts. The button layout also takes all the right lessons from the modern xbox controller to make a comfortable experience that doesn't have the silly design philosophies of late 90's controller design. This works only on Nintendo 64 hardware, as it connects via a dongle, rather than Bluetooth. The memory card slot is on the adapter that plugs into the console rather than the controller. The battery lasts for around 10 hours and it is easy and fun to use. The controller feels very good in the hands.

Why We Like This:

Tight sticks and great controller hand positioning
Great for pokémon and other rpgs
Buttons are very nice and springy, feel very responsive and accurate
Connects easily, buttons feel great, and layout is better than the original controller

Best For Gamecube: Saffun N64 Bluetooth Controller

Buy on Amazon

Not everyone likes to purchase controller for their daily purpose, but the saffun n64 bluetooth controller would be an anomoly. This controller is designed for n64 emulation on a personal computer. It's reliable and surprisingly responsive. It allows for up / down / left / right directions. The joystick provides much more natural directional control than the wonkiness that occurs with the analog sticks of other controllers. It's a little noticeable in game but will work for casual use.

The A, B, and C buttons have noticeably sharper edges, and it doesn't have a rumble pack slot. It's difficult to get a smooth movement progress, but it's rather jumpy because of the "stiffer" joystick. This controller is a great item for emulation.

Why We Like This:

A good controller for n64 games for pc
Nice stiff buttons and clicks and smooth joystick rotation
Great for gaming use with emulators and roms
Works great with emulators and flash games

Its comfortable, ergonomic design, high performance analog joystick, and dual z buttons give you the edge you need to double jump, z-target, and smash your way through any competition. The controller feels very cheaply made, it's light, awkwardly shaped in many ways, and in just many ways feels unrefined.

The L and R buttons on this are very small, and the Dual Z's are massive. It is compatible with all n64 models, as well as pc, mac and android via bt. It is easy to connect as well.

Makes it hard to hit accurately
Light weight, low latency and no cord needed
