It looks and feels like the real thing... just wish I could get the mapping figured out.
I have a couple of these and they're serviceable. The thing about N64 games is they don't feel right to me without the N64 type joystick, which you don't see on other controllers. It's most noticeable in racing games. Of course, with an emulator you may also have the option to adjust joystick sensitivity and deadzones, and that can help. But those innext controllers felt about right out of the box.
I got a Raspberry Pi a couple years ago and set up RetroPie. You'll want to invest in a USB version of the old N64 controller for Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. It does take some technical know-how to get it all going, but once you do it's absolutely worth it. It's great for emulators all the way up to the N64. Once you cross into GameCube, the hardware can't quite cut it. The Raspberry Pi 3B+ is recommended, but I'd go with the 3A for the built-in wifi and bluetooth. It should run you about the same price as these new mini Retro consoles you can find. The difference being, you can choose your games and you're not limited to a singular console. You can run a Sega Genesis, NES, SNES, N64, PS One, and others all in one little box.
It's not for everybody, but it's a pretty sweet setup if you can do it.
