In recent years I’ve gotten a couple 8BitDo controllers that I love.

As a kid though I think I had one Wildcat controller for the N64 that I felt was lucky, but besides that I was never even aware of what brand my controllers were, it was just whatever you could convince your parents to buy you.

Instead of three grips like a normal n64 controller, it had two. It combined the left and middle grips into one. So the d pad, analog stick, L, and Z buttons were all on one grip. I don’t know how the economics would hold up today, but they were great for me back then.

It also had turbo buttons, which is always nice.

The N64 Hori Pad or he SNES Scoremaster. Not sure if the Scoremaster counts, as it’s an arcade stick but I really like how it looks like the console itself.

I’m happy with the 8bitdo controllers I’ve picked up. They’re great if you like the official controllers, but want something wireless.
