I've bought the Nyko Wii Wand, with or without the nunchuk, for myself, my mother, and my nephew (4 wands in total). None of us has had any issues with it for the past 6-8 months. So far so good. Like the Nintendo remotes, the wand comes with a silicone sleeve (a lovely shade of blue). I don't like these sleeves, though, so I appreciate that the wand also has a rubber grip on the bottom. As far as game control goes, the wands are every bit as good as the more expensive Nintendo remotes. I haven't kept close track of it, but I think the batteries on the wands run out sooner though. I've got rechargable batteries and charge station, so that isn't a big issue for me. For anyone who's on a budget (college students, kids, etc.) the Nyko wands are a great alternative to the expensive name brand stuff. If you've got the money for it, go ahead and get the name brands instead, but these wands are a very good option if you don't want to spend that much money.
