Maybe. They work like crap when connected to most bluetooth devices, which is by design. Nintendo doesn't want them used on other devices. When connected to my Nvidia Shield, my SNES controller would only register a few buttons. On my Linux PC it registered all buttons, but Android recognized it as a Joycon.

There's more functional bluetooth controllers out there. Skip this.

Also requires Nintendo online or you can't even order it.

Quote from beerbaron22 :

This thing they've done with the restrictive bluetooth is baffling to me. I'm sure the intention is to keep people in the official retro Nintendo universe, but the vast majority of people literally don't even know how to download roms, as evident by the huge sales of Fire Red/Leaf Green recently. People that have a retroarch/Dolphin setup are not spending $80 on a Gamecube controller that doesn't work with it.

But I suspect it's more about their general philosophy of keeping a death grip on all their property.
These have worked really well for me on my mister and original consoles using blue retro.

Can these be used on PC?
You're better off getting 8BitDo's SN30 Pro. Supports PC, Android and Switch and more buttons to support custom keys in emulation and such and newer titles. It's definitely not the exact same feel as the original Super Nintendo controller though.

Exactly. Why is this posted as a deal? Actually, these used to be cheaper and they raised prices last year because of tariffs, and it's not even back to original prices.
They absolutely did not raise prices because of tariff stop pandering

I've been using mine on a Mac Mini for a few years. Works perfectly with OpenEmu. The SNES controller is perfection IMO, it feels exactly like the original.
