What makes a cheap controller?

This part is just plain bad. I have original and licensed plagiarism to lie straight on my lap and comparisons.

Let's start with the plug:

In the original contacts from either high-purity copper or even gold-plated are (hard to see). In BigBen one sees only bare steel. When the oxidized after some time, he will most likely get through no signal. Extension cable you need hardly taste here.

The cable:

Actually at Nintendo only quite marginally longer (eye about 30 cm). But true for me to sit back 30 cm between relaxed and stretch arms the. For gamers living room, there is still an extension cord.

For controllers in:

The Bigben is on the handles a bit longer and back a good bit lower, but otherwise largely identical from the mold.

Optically fall on the jagged edges of the shell parts of the second producer. They're just not as a unified whole, as with Nintendo.

Furthermore, I find that the matte silver has absolutely nothing to do purely with the simple elegance of the polished white plastic Wii. In can be argued, however.

However, the biggest problem in this category is the weight:

Although the Nintendo controller is a lot more compact, it is a bit heavier and therefore is better in your hand; does not feel cheap to scrap.

The controls from left to right:

The shoulder buttons of the controller of Big Ben croak at any pressure, because just behind the center of the button is a spring which exerts the restoring force. The original can be seen in the transparent version that Nintendo has been thinking: a simple but ingenious system the force is distributed more evenly over the entire shoulder button.

In addition, the trademarks, the depressed-click in the BigBen is very unsatisfactory, play in, where he actually what causes (for example, as gas button with booster-click), and barely audible.

The analog sticks both emit hardly restoring force and have an enormous dead zone (about 30%). Even otherwise, they are so inaccurate that millimeter work, as is in the Balancierspielen of Ocarina of Time a torment.

To the white rubber coating yellowed quickly and, in the main stick just slipped over it, not glued.

The Digital Cross has been the hallmark of the NES original Nintendo controllers. Again, the second producer had to resort to a different solution. In some beat-em-ups but this can be beneficial.

The "Turbo" and "Slow" buttons are in most games just annoying and take away space launch buttons. In the rest they mess up the Balance Games.

The other digital keys have a fracture-tough tactile feedback and are completely unsuitable for rapid fall. The arrangement is just like the original.

What stands out while playing:

The vibration motor can not hold a candle to the original. He is loud, but hardly produces imbalance. A look at the housing turns BigBen also as a math Sitzenbleiber or false advertisers: The advertised on the package second engine there is not.
