I purchased this controller for my Game Cube, after my wife destroyed the cheap controllers I had purchased on eBay. These are slightly different in shape than the Nintendo branded controllers, but overall they retain most of the original button layout. One difference is that there is an extra Z trigger on the left side of the controller as well. This is good for me, as my wife wore that button out on the old controllers rather quickly.

The controller that I received was not purple, as pictured, but white. It would look really nice if used with a Wii. In fact, the controller, cable, and connector are all white.

This controller also features a set of Turbo and Slow buttons. The turbo button can be used to toggle any other button into "turbo" mode. This means that all you have to do is hold that button to make it register as being repeatedly pressed. Slow is rather pointless. This feature was useful on older consoles, like the Sega Genesis, when Start would simply pause the game. Most newer games, however, have a menu that comes up when start is pressed. This defeats the purpose of "Slow" mode.

The force feedback is pretty good for a controller in this price range. Many other controllers that I have used have had a noisy motor inside that rattled lose after extended use. This lead to annoying sounds with less vibrations actually being transferred into my hands.

Overall, I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it to a gamer on a budget.

I recently bought two of these contollers and have to say that if you are looking for gamecube contollers, then go with these. They fell nice and durable, and have held up since I bought them(about a month ago) with no noticable wear at all. They are quite similar to the original gamecube controllers except that there are turbo/slow buttons (not sure what these do), an extra z button, the control pad is concave, and the c-stick is a little more narrow. All of this feels very nice. My only complaint is that the z button doesnt feel as solid as the original but it works fine.

Also, they shipped in white. not purple and look very nice when plaing on my wii. This was quite an added surprise!!! Buy.

I recently got my GC but I have been through two controllers already. I didn't want to spend loads of money on an "official" Nintendo controller and have been hunting for a decent controller, and that is not an easy task, believe me. I have heard nothing but horrible things about off brand controllers and from personal experience I wholeheartedly agree with everyone of those bad reviews. This little beauty however works just fine and is priced perfectly. The only complaint I have is a very small one and that is I just have to get used to it because of its shape and the way it fits in my hands. But that can be taken care of by just breaking it in.

This controller is very useful for Super Smash Bros. The product I received works perfectly and the price is reasonable. The only drawback is that the cord is VERY short. You will literally sit infront of the TV. I would recommend buying the controller's extension cord to remediate this, which I have also purchased.

My 11 year old son asked me to order this product for him (using his own money that he had saved) so that he could play a Wii game he had just purchased (again, with his own money.) The package arrived within 5 days of ordering, works exactly as specified, and my son is a happy and satisfied customer. Excellent service and, in my son's opinion, well worth the cost and effort. Even with shipping and handling, the cost for the controller is lower than most others out there. This controller permits him to play older Nintendo games ported over to the Wii.

I only used this controller for approximately a week of light use before it started exhibiting strange behavior, such as not responding to the joystick and continually pressing the X button. Very poor construction, I believe

Reading the reviews, it looks like this is a good controller - if it works. Mine was defective right out of the box. The joystick worked in all directions except left. This appears to be a quality control issue, and the controller looks good and feels sturdy, not cheap or flimsy. So I would recommend at least trying this one. If your luck is like mine, you can return it. If your luck is better, you save yourself a LOT of money.

I've had a wii for quite a while, but I've never owned a GameCube. I did purchase a game second hand for the GameCube, but I didn't know I needed a controller for it. Found this little gem, and it works like a charm. My only issue is I wish it would be compatable for wii games, like super Mario.

My kids had to have these for certain games they wanted to play, so I priced them all over the place. This was the best price for similar items, and I have no complaints whatsoever about the product. They work fine and I didn't have to break the bank for OEM/NAMEBRAND controllers! I highly recommend these for anyone who wants flexibility without spending their last dime on hardware!!

Hello, i did not use this product actually, but my children did , and they liked it so much, they use it always to play, and found it very interesting.
