5 Great

I use this with the Switch N64 controller recreation from Nintendo. Being able to switch between Memory Pak and Rumble Pak at the press of the home button is excellent for games like Goemon which use both.The inbuilt memory pak's work great with the Everdrive 64's memory pak management features, meaning you basically have infinite memory paks if you use it with that as well.

This product pairs wonderfully with the 8bitdo N64 Bluetooth controller mod. These 2 products together allow me to play on an original console with an original controller wirelessly! So cool! I highly recommend this!

What more is there to say about this product that hasn't already been said. It works flawlessly with my original N64 console, I strongly recommend if you do have original hardware with a wireless N64 Switch controller, this receiver is for you!

Works exactly as described. Easy to set up. Tested with an Xbox One controller (late gen, bluetooth) and it was easy to pair and configure, and no input delay that I could notice. Memory pak didn't work out of the box, but configuring it with the web app on my phone was quick and easy. Now I need the right controller to really use this thing properly. Highly recommended.
