I'm generally a fan of rip-off gaming accessories since generally it's not that hard to produce the same functionality a little cheaper than the original one costs. And I've only used this GC controller so far since buying a Wii on Amazon (with credit I racked up by selling textbooks ;-) ) and for the most part it works great.
But a couple things feel iffy about it: mainly the left joystick (the main directional controller) feels drastically oversensitive. So I'll be playing Wind Waker and need to take out my bow and arrow to hit a target, and it will sometimes literally take me 4-5 minutes to point directly at the target, because it's so hard to "ease" the stick in a direction without immediately speeding too far in that direction. Not so good for any situations where I can't auto-target onto the enemy. In Mario Sunshine, same thing - I basically can't walk; only run. Also, the purple Z button feels a little sticky to press.
I purchased this product new, so I'm assuming that any defects I find are just plain design problems. For the most part, it works great. If you're a hardcore GC gamer wanting precision, borrow a friend's real Gamecube controller first, to see if that one works any better than what I've described here. + See Full Customer Review |  |
