Usually with the N64 controller, the main complaints I hear are the analog stick due to the rough plastic material and the 3 handles. The stick is functional but rough to spin, so games that require to do full spins isn't the most comfortable, like Mario 64 against Bowser or the infamous Mario Party 1 minigames, overall it isn't the worst thing in the world but it can feel rough to go back to it compared to future control sticks, using it the standard way works fine for me. The 3 handles was always a stupid meme because games never require you to use every button, you just change your grip depending on the game, Mario 64 only requires center and right, Kirby 64 left and right grip, etc.
