controllers

This is a great controller, and it rumbles (unlike the wireless one). Yeah, it WILL wear down with time, but it is by far one of the better controllers because it doesn't ruin your GameCube and it's more durable that third-party ones (AKA those NOT liscenced by Nintendo). I first had a third-party GCN controller and for some reason, it stopped my GameCube from reading discs. I had to get it repaired. If anything, if you want a good controller, don't go for third party stuff. Go for the original like this, as for one: they last MUCH longer and two, they don't ruin your hardware. It may look plain, but it would be better to have a plain working controller rather than a quickly defective pretty one. Also, the official wireless if good, if you don't mind the lack of a rumble.

The controller for the Gamecube is very good. The design isn't bad at all and the button placement works out fine...except for the D-Pad, which would've been better had it not been so small.

The button response is excellent and works great. The buttons don't pop out easily or anything like that, and if you have small hands it fits right in (it doesn't quite fit in my hands but it's comfortable nonetheless).

My problem is where they placed the D-Pad. They placed it right next to the C-Stick which wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't so small. The D-Pad is no bigger than the "A" button. The good news, the Joystick works WAY better than the D-Pad. Since the D-Pad is so small, pressing UP will make you go Up and to the right or left. Still, the conroller works and its the msot durable. My biggest gripe however, (and why it got four stars) is that the cord isn't long enough. It's rather short, actually.

Either way it's a good controller and it works great. If you've got a gamecube, buy it.

This controller is great. Nice feel and all. But, it does tend to move to one side on its own. Many people think it is the controller, but if you read in the manual, it clearly states that when the gamecube is turned on with the joystick to one side, that will be the base for the controller. This can be fixed by simultaneously holding Y+X+START. Great controller, for an easy 5 stars!
