For those who don't already have a GameCube controller at home, beware of the Chinese clones that have sprung up like weeds on eBay and Amazon: they are normally of very low quality and feel nothing like the real controllers. Your best option is either getting a used DOL-003 on eBay or checking local retailers for the official Smash 4/Smash Ultimate reproduction controllers. Expect to spend around $25 plus shipping when buying online, and ''always'' check the pictures for loose analog sticks or missing rubber tops. Failing that, the wired "Fight Pad" controllers have inferior build quality to original controllers and aren't plug-and-play in Dolphin, but will work with anything that's compatible with Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers. | For those who don't already have a GameCube controller at home, beware of the Chinese clones that have sprung up like weeds on eBay and Amazon: they are normally of very low quality and feel nothing like the real controllers.

===Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) Controllers=== | |||
Although not the original versions of the controllers, Nintendo offers wireless and USB-C versions of the original controllers for most of the consoles supported by the NSO emulators. Almost all of these controllers work perfectly fine on a computer and replicate the original feel of the controllers perfectly. | |||
The NES controller doesn't have USB-C output but does work perfectly as a wireless controller, with the downside that the controller is impossible to charge unless you own a Nintendo Switch or a Joy-Con controller charging dock. | |||
