 - Decent productThis was the cheapest wireless gamecube controller I could find. That being said, it matches my quality expectations. It's really light, kinda cramped, and doesn't include batteries. Also, the pictured wireless adapter is not what I received. I got boxes with 2" cables attached to the connector, which works, but isn't nearly as organized. I got these to use for Wii VC games and they work fine for that purpose. Rating:  - No channelsI got this controller but, unfortunatly, there was no channel switch for multiplayer. So, I don't know that if I use this at my friends house with other controllers if they mess up the gameplay. I got one similar to this, namely MicroCatz 330 wireless for Gamecube. (beige-white)Please help me. [...] Rating: - I'm confused. No channel switching???I loved this controller. When I got one of these, it was beige and didn't have a channel switching. It was the same Madcatz 330 wireless Gamecube Controller. Will it be able to play in multiplayer, like in supersmash bros where there is about 2-4 players, or will it get confused and mess up everyone's control? Anyway, Because of this, I docked 1 star. Another reason was the size. For my opinion, it was too compact. A little hard to reach the start button. But, still great. Please answer my question [...] or post a comment! Thanks! =P Rating:  - 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. Rating: - 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 analog sticks are (reasonably enough) starting to drift a bit.. (ED. After a bit of playing, I found if you unplug the wireless plug from the Wii, and then plug it back in, the controller recalibrates. Putting the Wii in standby mode doesn't do it, since the gamecube ports are still powered. Also, you must make sure the controller is switched on before you start the gamecube game, or the sticks will be off..) All and all, it seems to be a decent product and unless the stick problem gets worse (ED. It's fine..) I'd definitely buy it for a younger child to beat up. Or if an extra $10 makes a big difference. Edit, 4 months later: As time goes on, the joystick portion becomes less and less accurate and drifts badly.I'd drop my rating down to a 2 if I could. Good price, but not very rugged at all.
