Pros:
-They're technically functional
-They're cheap

Cons:
-The left stick is hyper sensative. My friends have trouble entering their names in smash brothers because the stick goes from practically no input to 1/2 input in a matter of 1/8 of the stick motion range.
-Floating D-Pad is not sensative enough. Has trouble differentiating between Diagonal presses and cadinal (up, down, left, right) presses.
-Macro feature is worthless. Practically impossible to use and placed where you'll always accidentally press it instead of the start button.
-Controllers RF frequency weird to set. Rather then having the receivers & controllers have dials so you can set them to match each other, the receivers just scan for active controller RF's. This is problematic when you're trying to set a specific controller to 3rd & a specific to 4th in a multiplayer game.
-Size. They're considerably bigger then wavebirds. I've yet to find a friend who prefers the feel of these over the classic wired or waverbird wireless controllers.
-C-Stick. It's literally a stick. It doesn't have a broad head on the end of it for your thumb to make it comfortably for long use. It just has a somewhat pointy end which is tough to control and uncomfortable to use for any length of time.

I ordered one of these wireless controllers with rumble first to go with my Wii. I liked it so much, I got rid of my other two wireless controllers (GameStop Minis) and ordered another one of these. Unlike most other wireless controllers these are full sized (just like the Wavebirds from Nintendo), and they have a strong rumble added on. Despite this battery life is about 100 hours with rechargeable NiMH AA batteries. The four batteries add a lot of weight,and give this one a substantial feel. Only gripe is the turbo and macro buttons next to the start button. More often than not, they just get pressed accidentally, and make me scream. All in all, the best way to enjoy Gamecube games.

Very satisfied overall with this controller, just bought it, as opposed to the highly expensive Nintendo brand wireless controller.

The buttons overall feel very much like, if not better, than the Nintendo brand. The main joystick is bigger in radius, which I like, and is similar to the old N64 controller; Although I do find it to be slightly touchy, I'll live with it for the bigger "thumb grippy-area" (its a technical term:) )

The wirless took a little while to calibrate right out of the box, but once it started working, had no problems since, I play it from the other end of the room, ZELDA STYLE!!.

I highly recommend!!!

Peace and Love

they are ok the rumble feature is very good, but I'm sure someone mention that the left stick is really sensitive, I been playing zelda windwaker again, you can not believe how sensitive this thing is for aiming, anyways if you don't play zelda then you should be just find, I will be just like the wave bird controller, but heavier, most man would not mind the extra weight due to the batteries, mine had four batteries. The batteries will last longer without the rumble feature.

This controller,simply put,friggin' rocks!I agree with another reviewer about the main joystick being on the touchy side,but you get used to it.For the price and quality you can't beat it with a stick.Or another controller.Gonna get me another one!!!!!

I was skeptical but like the others but once I received this controller I knew it was better than the official nintendo controller. A must buy, is compatible of course with the Wii.

I own three Wavebirds and missed the rumble I had from a wired controllers. I had done searches and saw great reviews on the Pelican G3 wireless controllers, but had a hard time locating the PL-7008 (as the PL-7055 doesn't have the rumble on/off switch...and wasn't sure if it had rumble at all). Ran across a good deal on the Hip Gear LM610. Couldn't find any reviews on it and decided to take a chance on it. I'm glad I did! Even comes with a little display stand for when you aren't using it.
