I Ranked Every Single Nintendo 64 Controller

This is the greatest Nintendo console of all time. So what is the best N64 controller for speedrunning? Best N64 Controller for emulator? This Tier List ranking every N64 Controller available on Amazon will answer exactly that. No actual Hori mini-pad like the OEM Classic Controller, Admiral Wireless Controller, Brawler64 Controller, and others on this list since I've personally never used a real Hori controller.

4:00 Pressing L, R and Start all at once resets the 3D stick axis to the neutral position. Do not touch the 3D stick when you press those three buttons together.

Holy crap, I think value wise the chonky miadore makes it S tier. $15 for a two pack is insanely cheap.

I was watching this entire review and went i went to like and sub i was shocked how low the viewcount is. This is a extremely high quality video and i hope it gets the attention it deserves

[TheCrowy]

Unfortunately as much as I love the N64 controller the analog stick basically turns to dust after not too long. I’ve gone through a couple during my speedrunning days

[mrwasi]

Thanks for recommending the Hyperkin adapter. I was in search of a good adapter for my N64 controllers

[lstairvideos]

personally I dont think the brawler 64 is that good and I would never recommend it, for around $35-$40 you don't get anything better than the $25 Tribute64 controller. My brawler 64 has seen BARELY any use and my analog stick is already spazzing out when I push it in the forward direction. Also why does the brawler64 have analog style triggers for the Z button? I imagine it just makes the controller cost even more, it doesn't need those fake triggers at all

Did we play on the same OEM controller? Everyone of my N64 controllers stick is busted and I was gentle on my stuff.

Lost interest when at the 1:40 mark when he talks about how the original controllers have a crazy lifespan and fantastic durability lol. They were notorious for having the worst joystick on the market and still rated today as having the worst joysticks. Those things wore out super fast even for the most casual players. Even the new re-release of the official N64 controller got a ton of bad press for keeping the same joystick tech from the original.

I have all these controllers. The only one I use is that no name transparent blue one. It is the best N64 controller on the market.

What is the purpose of a tier if 4 controllers are tied for an A rank?

[Toast_]

Something tells me you didn't test the precision when playing goldeneye. Many third party controllers have joysticks so sensitive that goldeneye is borderline unplayable.

[kalmtraveler]

One note on the Brawler 64 - it is NOT compatible with the Transfer Pak so no Pokemon Stadium transfers from your OG Gameboy cartridge. I know the Hori mini pad is compatible with it, and of course original Nintendo brand controllers are too.

[MobiusGT]

I'd love to see where an actual hori controller would do place on this tier list

[alejandrojosespinamendez]

What about the Nintendo Switch Online N64 controller?

[victorbicudo]

You mentioned goldeneye 007 and never showed how they perform there. This game requires unparalleled sensitivity for aiming. And these GameCube style sticks suck for that. So i was disappointed when your video ended and i could not see if any of the other controllers are good for goldeneye

[Frank-spvu]

Thank you so much for doing this! I absolutely hate having to do this myself until finding a GOOD controller that won't cost me 90 bucks.

[Sugurain]

I have a Retro-Bit Tribute 64 wireless, it's the only wireless option so far to feature rumble built-in, so far I haven't had any problems with it!

[ray-may]

You didn't speak about how the original 64 controller analog stick get mess up overtime with used

[akvansky]

After returning to the n64 after a 24 year break and jumping back into Mario Kart 64 I wanted the original feel. I can attest to the controller similar to the Hori Mini mentioned which is blue. The brand is called iNNEXT n64 gamepad. I do have large hands and it is more comfortable to play with. The sensitivity does take getting used to as it has little to no dead zone. As I do speedrun mk64 now the iNNEXT is my daily go to when racing time trials. I favor comfort over long sessions as compared to an original which can be a pain after 2 hours.

[TheMenaceHimself]

Bro is glazing about how "good" the n64 stick apparently is 😂
