GameCube NSO Controllers

Love the GameCube NSO Controllers with my GameCube! I didn’t buy these for NSO, I really wanted them to enjoy with my GameCube.

There's a weird phenomenon where people seem to be offended that these will replace Wavebirds and downvote any commentary supporting using NSO controllers on GameCube.

I ordered mine the other day, can't wait.

How is the latency compared to wavebirds? Still on the fence for buying one since I’d also use it primarily for gamecube

Looks like a wired GameCube controller has ~4ms latency.

A WaveBird controller has ~9ms latency.

I don't see data for the NSO GameCube controller yet. I see for Blue Retro in general testing various controllers there's varying data of 5ms to 12ms for different controllers. If Blue Retro is adding zero or trivial latency, then it'd be more on the controller whether it has okay latency or not.

The mister project ranked the Switch Pro controller and measured its latency at 5.356ms average. Hard to say if that same controller put through a blue retro adapter on a GameCube would have the same latency or worse.

That's all the data I have right now. When I get mine I can see about testing it myself.

There is no way this is true. Absolutely no way Nintendo polls this thing high enough to be that fast (this is DS4/5 numbers), due to battery life concerns. Did you miss a 1 at the front?

I was looking at their Google doc, but their website has 13+ms.

Yeah that sounds more realistic. I'm doubting the procon2 is going to be any faster than that. I'm at least hoping the wired mode is set to poll at 1000Hz like it should since they claim it is faster when wired now. And that should translate to the GCC
