First off it isn't a first-party (made by Nintendo) controller, and there is nothing on the packaging or on the controller itself that screams "NINTENDO"  so don't look for it. All you need to know is that this controller works, perfectly just like the original controller. Lots of people have given this controller negative reviews, but I can't figure out why other than because they expect it to function and feel just like an original controller. Pfheh!!! Granted the L and R buttons click and the plastic feels cheap, as long as you can pull off moves in your favorite games, that's all that matters! And this controller definitely delivers.
