Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Great form, poor quality
I would give these 5 stars if they actually worked. I don't care that they don't have rumble. I had 2 of these. After about of month of use, the analog stick stopped working...on both controllers in 2 different gamecube games. I was very disappointed. I love the way these feel in my hands. That's the only reason I still gave this 1 star. To be fair though, the ones I had were actually Gamestop branded. However, I'm pretty sure they were made by Madcatz for Gamestop.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - very disappointed
This product was received defected and presented a burning smell when batteries were installed. The item was returned.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Controller
really good controller if you are looking for a good controller that is not as bulky as the wavebird.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY
I bought this product at a local Game Crazy store and was pretty satisfied with it for a couple of months. Then, it started acting really weird. When I was playing my games, the control stick seemed normal and everything, but, even when the stick wasn't being touched, my character (or curser, depending on the instance) kept moving in one direction. At first it was moving down, then it moved to the right, and finally to the top. It made game playing very frustrating and aggravating. When I was playing Animal Crossing, my character would always be moving in some direction when I wasn't even touching the controller, and when I wanted to type something, the controller kept moving the cursor in the wrong direction, giving me the wrong letter. There was more to it than that, but I think you get the idea.

Anyway, so I took it back to the store the other day to get either a refund or a replacement. The guy there said that since it had been a couple of months, he probably couldn't do anything and I'd have to see the manufacturer if he couldn't. Turns out he could and I got a new one for no cost. So far, it seems to be working fine. I'd personally recommend an actual Nintendo brand controller, just to simplify things. I've never had any problems with platform brand products.

UPDATE:
The replacement stopped working as well. This time, the yellow analog stick has a mind of it's own. I am so fed up with these controllers.
DON'T BUY THEM!!! THEY MAY WORK GREAT AT FIRST, BUT NOT FOR LONG!!! HUGE WASTE OF MONEY!!!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - It is an OK controller for the Wii and Gamecube!
Nintendo stopped the production of the "Wavebird". Nothing can beat the Wavebird. You can buy the "Classic Controller" that you attach to the "Wiimote", but why would you have a thing dangling on your controller? You can still buy the "Wavebird", but you need to pay for a black market price. And how can you trust a used one?

The "Microcon" is much smaller than Nintendo Wavebird. Good for smaller kids but annoying to larger hands.
Uses 2 AAA's instead of 2 AA's

Pros:
- Responsive. We are using it for Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
- No channel to set on the receiver and the controller. At times you are baffled why suddenly you lost contact of your "Wavebird" with the videogame machine, realizing you just accidentally nudge the channel selector on the controller.
- The battery cover is attached to the controller. One of our Wavebird battery covers is missing. This is a plus for the Microcon.
- Much cheaper in price

Cons:
- Signal drops off from time to time
- On/Off switch does not have a light compared to the Wavebird. No light to remind you if you forgot to turn it off to save battery.
- No rumble pak.
- Start button is awkwardly positioned. Difficult to reach during the game.
- Made of very cheap plastic.
