Love it! Feels great. Plays great.

Ok, so I only bought this (well a set of 2) yesterday after MUCH stressing about which controllers to buy for my Wii to play VC and gamecube games. Plugged in two of them and my roommate and I played Street Fighter II: World Warrior and had a blast. I was taken right back to high school sitting in front of my SuperNintendo. :) The controllers feel great, I like the smaller size of them. The buttons are easy to reach and work with. I can see how people have said it feels "cheap" but it WAS inexpensive (I found them cheaper retail after a couple store hops). And they feel like they'll hold up a while, I'll get my money's worth out of them for sure.

Most importantly, they were very responsive, I felt no delay, and there was no interference in having 2 of them plugged in right next to each other.

Does the job.

I bought this as a Gamecube and Virtual Console controller for my Wii, with which it works very well. The controller functions right out of the box, is nicely responsive, and just works. Most of the buttons are solid enough, the thumb stick works very well, and the price was certainly right. The grips are hard plastic and the controller itself is lightweight.

After using it for a few weeks (and through two games, the excellent 'Beyond Good and Evil' and 'Metroid Prime'), I have two criticisms, both of which have been mentioned in Amazon reviews.

First, it is very small for an adult. While I don't worry too much about it being hard to reach the 'start' button (I'd rather not accidentally hit it, so I consider this a 'feature'), the A/B/X/Y buttons are very close together for my big thumb, and I'm always accidentally hitting the X button instead of the Y. The Left and Right shoulder buttons feel cheap, but they work well.

Second, after the beating I've given it with 'Metroid Prime', The  more

Smaller Wireless

There is just so much you can enjoy within a wireless controller. Mad Catz, has created some very well received controllers that have worked very well, but their wireless controller doesn't have the appeal I thought it was going to be. Although the controller is convient and smaller than the traditional Gamecube controller, but there are some problems this controller has. One of them is that there is no rumble feedback in the controller, and another one is that you have to reset the controller to neutral at times which is more often than should be. This isn't that bad, but if you want to go wireless, try gtting the wireless wavebird controller for the Gamecube instead.

Price: B-

Convience: C 1/2-

Overall: C

Good RPG... bad fighting.

I'm a 16 year old male, but I have hands the size of a 7 year old. I can't really hold the bigger controllers comfortably, I'm ashamed to admit. I first played with one of these at a tournament for Super Smash Brothers Melee... I loved it. It was definately more comfortable. I went out a week later and bought one. Two days later, I discovered that the L button, was sticking. I'd sheild, and then I couldn't stop. Being my most used button, I couldn't get away with not using it. So, I returned it. My second one, lasted two weeks before my L button died.
