I have to buy a new controller for Nintendont

[thomasxxx]

Hello everyone.
Sorry for my bad English.
I have to buy a new controller for Nintendont (on WII).
What do you recommend? I would like 100% compatibility. Possibly a controller that I can also use on PC. Thank you all.

P.S.: I saw checklist on the site. but I would like your comment. thank you

If your Wii has GameCube ports, I'd opt for official GameCube controller. Otherwise, I'd probably go with official Wii U Pro Controller as it's possible to pair it with the console through Nintendont.

I can't tell you how good PS3/PS4 controllers work with Nintendont, but i know they're supported, so that'd tell you that they're atleast decent at it, apart from some input latency & the occasional lag every now and then. And you could use them on your pc..
As for my fav, i'd go with the OG GC controller of course, as games were made for that controller..

And he can use it with PC too with an adapter (which can also be used with the Wii if he has one without GC ports)
There's no substitute for a GC controller for playing GC games, really. The layout is a bit odd compared to anything else, and I've found that playing GC games with a traditional layout makes the buttons harder to reach, and the layout unintuitive. On a GC controller, all the buttons are very easy to reach without ever taking your finger off A, that's one of the things I always liked about it.

That particular one should work, yeah. Still, if possible, get a used original one. I've bought two of mine recently for $20 each.

Honestly I'd be happier if I could buy a non-genuine wired (USB) PS4 controller. it is more ergonomic and usable on pc. Do you know if non original PS4 controllers still work? I'd like this here:

Controllers with digital triggers work with GameCube games.. even if they'd make use of analog triggers? The problem I see would be that it'd go from 0 to 100 since it can't be controlled.

I read Wii Classic Controllers work with GCN games via Nintendont and it'd be semi-wireless so that could work for him.

Edit: Official GCN controllers in good to very good condition aren't cheap, maybe in Italy they are. I bought a third party GCN controller from the brand "Under Control" it looks pretty much identical to the Retro Fighters N64 controller, although I've yet to test it.

I did notice that the B button was placed a bit inconvenient since the camera stick sorta goes too near to it.

Retro Fighters N64

Under Control GCN

It feels pretty good, no loose analog sticks, and a quality third party controller (most third party controllers are junk, except Hori).

Honestly I'd be happier if I could buy a non-genuine wired (USB) PS3 controller. it is more ergonomic and usable on pc. Do you know if non original PS3 controllers still work? I'd like this here:

There are good and bad fake DualShock 3 controllers, but you're better off buying an official DS3 controller if you really want as they're built to last while fake ones may eventually quit on you.
