Best Third-Party GameCube Style Controller
Disclaimer: My review mainly focuses on comparing this controller with other third-party "GameCube"-like controllers. I will speak to its merit mostly within these comparisons.I have the Hori, PDP and wireless PowerA GameCube-style controllers. This is my favorite of the bunch. I mostly play Smash Bros though all controllers are compatible with most of the Switch library. This is worth noting in case you want a controller that can play more games than Smash and don't prefer or want to pay the Pro controller price.Further disclaimer: All three of these "GameCube" controllers feel more similar than different. The minor differences, however, are what make me prefer the Hori over the other two. If you really like the look of one over the other, it may be worth to buy on those grounds alone. (Or purchase all three like me.)I prefer the button feel of the Hori over the other two. The Hori buttons are a bit more supple and don't "click" as much as those of the PDP and PowerA, rendering a more smooth and "less-cheap" plastic feel. The difference in feel isn't that noticeable, however.The analog and C-sticks on the Hori also feel the best among the three. The travel distance on the PDP is WAY too long (probably its biggest knock) while the sticks on the PowerA are really tight, small and need to be broken into.I prefer the "new" trigger types of the PDP and Hori over the "classic" GameCube-style triggers.I like the weight of the Hori. It has the lightest weight of the three, which I also prefer. This does make it feel a bit more fragile than the other two. It still has a nice build quality, though. I would call it sleek.I think the size of the Hori controller is perfect. I have adult man hands and the PDP feels slightly large while the PowerA definitely feels small. (The PDP didn't feel that way until I tried the other two, though.) The Hori definitely has the best fit in the palms.All in all, the Hori gains my favor because I prefer all the minor characteristics that separate it from the other third-party GameCube-style controllers as described above. If you absolutely need wireless, go with PowerA. If you like a sturdier-feeling controller, go with PDP. If you prefer some of the characteristics I do, then definitely go with the Hori. (I also think the Hori has the best aesthetics.)Just a few more comments specific to this controller:My controller has always been responsive to button inputs. Not sure what that's about in others' experience. Perhaps a defective product or the controller wasn't taken care of properly. The Battle Pad is a bit more fragile-feeling than the others so one good drop may mess it up. Just speculation.The only glaring con of the Hori Battle Pad is an annoying red light stays on while the triggers are swapped to match the trigger configuration of the Pro controller. I put a piece of electrical tape over it. Not enough to knock it a star but a nuisance enough to bring it up in case this is a major turnoff.

Design
I can definitely say that I am happy with the responsiveness. The length of the cord is tolerable. I am mainly satisfied with the design. It's Luigi for crying out loud. He's my favorite video game character, so that's why I bought this controller.

Super cute I adore it
I have been using this to play on my switch and my PC games like GameCube emulator. I highly recommended if you’re looking for a girly and the fun controller to use while you play. And also nostalgic for all those millennial they grew up with a gamecube.

All-around improvement to the standard GC controller
After Smash Ultimate released, I wanted a GameCube-style controller with less-analog shoulder buttons and ideally a smaller gate on the left stick. This controller has both! It feels great to hold and I really feel like my 1v1 has improved after using it. Some prefer the longer press of the original GC controller, but this one fits my style better. Fast, responsive movement and shielding.It was designed with the shoulder buttons reversed though, so if you want an expected result hold the front L and R buttons down while you plug it in and release when you see the red light on the front. If the red light is on you have the right setup. Thankfully, you only need to do that once and the controller remembers your setting. Apparently HORI flipped the buttons without realizing what Nintendo would do with button mapping.Overall, really recommend this if your needs are similar to mine. Solid and responsive.

Best of three reputable switch GC controllers
I've received and used three types of Gamecube controllers for my Switch (SSBU). I've used PowerA wireless, HORI wired, and PDP wired. Of the the three, this (HORI) is definitely my favorite.It feels like the PowerA controller (a typical GameCube feel) but the Hori has the updated triggers with less push distance. It also feels lighter because it doesn't have the battery pack.The PDP controller just isn't for me. It doesn't have the same feel at all. It's a little big and feels awkward in my hanD's.HORI is by far my favorite GC controller.

Don't let the awesome designs fool you, this controller is very cheaply made
I love the way this controller looks, when I first bought it, I was put off by the rough grip that feels like concrete but I learned to actually like that, it worked fine, although the triggers were very inconsistent, one felt a lot looser than the other but that didn't bother me that much until the left bumper quit on me. I thought this may be just bad luck, maybe mine had a defect or something, so I remapped the controls so I could play Smash Bros without the particular button. A few days after that, the C stick stopped working as well. I've been very lenient with this controller because of how much I love the design, but with no c-stick, I can confidently say this thing is junk, no guarantee it will or will not work, it's your gamble.
