The 200 Toy Controller features a Nintendo 64-style joystick that utilizes potentiometers instead of optical encoders. The joystick also has a black nub on top of the joystick that is attached with glue. Overall, it's a thicker controller than Nintendo's while it's outer nubs lie somewhere in between the SuperPad 64/Colors's smaller outer nubs and the Nintendo 64 controller's longer outside prongs. The thickness of the controller can make it more comfortable for certain users and the longer nubs can make it more usable than comparable third-party controllers like the SuperPad 64/Colors. The 200 Toy Controller uses more curved, trigger-style buttons for L and R, and although they're still digital, they operate more similarly to the Z button and may therefore be preferable for games that heavily utilize the R button. The C buttons are very slightly concave whereas the Start, A and B buttons are very slightly convex.
