The standard controllers are good if you are a small person or if you simply like a small controller. This is a full sized controller that has the added advantage of a programable macro button. Mine has performed flawlessly and is much easier for me to handle than the standard one. If you have big hands or just like the idea of a programable macro button, it is the only way to go.

If you're used to the feelof the standard GameCube controller, you'll probably have a tough time with this one while playing games that require good control. These are games like Smash Brothers and Star Wars. There are a lot of differences that just makes it too dang hard to get used to, like a larger size to start out with. My hands are average size and still the regular controller feels awesome in my hands. But this MadCatz thing... just feels too big. It takes longer to reach buttons and that can be costful in games like SSB when you're playing 2 other people and a larger size just isn't neccessary. To add to that, you have a big problem with the two analog sticks. There's not really a good amount of resistance on there like on the regular controller and the left analog stick doesn't have that nice grip that you normally get. Overall, it's just a cheaper feeling but it gets the job done, just not as good as the regular controller does. But if you absolutely HAVE to get this controller for the price, I would recommend you let that be your friends controller.

When i purchased this controller, i was expecting it to have a nice grip and a comfortable hand position. I was dead wrong. The "grips" aren't even considered that. It is hard plastic and the C-Stick is very flimsy. The "A" button makes a loud obnoxious sound when pressed and the controller just feels WAY too big. This is a downright waste of money. I am most likely going to sell it at a garage sale and buy the new wireless controller.

The only reason i got this controller was that they didnt have the regular nintendo brand one. it was less expensive, but you get what you pay for with this controller. it is huge and clunky and the buttons are sticky. in addition, the analog sticks are not for precision movements. several weeks later i found myself trading it in for a nintendo brand controler. this was the biggest waste of money yet.

I have a maximum of 1,000 words to write, but I only need 4; DONT BUY THIS CONTROLLER! I had this thing for not even two weeks, and it started to act up, now it is toatlly broken, and I bet I'm not the only one this has happened to. I would by an
X-Box before I buy anything from Mad-Catz again!!

Personally I think this is actually better than the orginal controler. It is a little bigger (which is a plus for me, big hands), has the rubber pad on the top of the analog stick (also nice), the rubber side grips (looks cool, doesn't do much otherwise)...

On most systems I have used I usually have one 'gimp" controler, but in this case I use the third party controler as the primary and the orginal is in the last position...

Its 5 trickies out 5! TRICK(y)... Woo!

This controller is not worth buying. People say they break after 2 weeks,one day,etc.Mine broke when I got it,I got Mario Kart:Double Dash(and a Gamecube)for Christmas.I thought,"Gee,I should get another controller.So I went to Walmart(on December 26 one of the busiest days of the year.)Saw that controller,brought it home and well...the A,B,X,and Y buttons only works.Have you ever been to Walmart return center the day before Christmas??They have lines os coke bottles lined up to show you where to go.

I bought a Gamecube a few weeks ago. It came with a free game and a starter pack. Of course the Cubicon controller was in the starter pack. At first, the Cubicon was all I used, but then I actually tried the Nintendo brand controller that came in the Gamecube box. I am glad I tried it! Because when I tried the Nintendo brand one, I was amazed! It felt so much better than the Cubicon! One reason why I hate the Cubicon is because the B button is down too low and when you reach for it the C stick gets in the way! The reason I gave it 2 stars was because it has a rubber grip on it (I like grips). But now I don't even touch the thing! It is a waste of money!!!!! DONT BUY IT!

When I first got this controller I thought is was good, cheap, and better for my big hands. I also thought that the grips were good too. I was mistaken! The controller worked fine for about 10 months until some buttons kept getting stuck in the controller and then the c-stick failed to work completly. I looked at the reveiws of this before, I found out I was lucky that Mine lasted that long. If you have this controller and it hasn't broken yet, trust me it will break! I will never trust another Madcatz product again!

...as Madcatz peripherals do seem to break in less then 1/2 a week. I wouldn't suggest anything from them. Know, for the size, I put the original controller next to the Madcatz one and, well, no real difference. the handles SEEMES to be thicker, but not by much. The grip and frilles might seem conventional, but, it doesn't look induring.
