I bought 2 of these controllers so far and I think they are great. The best part is that since the controllers run on RF, I can keep my Gamecube & the games behind locked doors on the entertainment center and my little boy can't mess with the console or scratch the discs. Also, the cord on the controller that came with my Gamecube is way too short to reach my favorite armchair. Being cordless, this is no longer a problem. Battery life has been great. I always have the rumble feature on and I think I am getting better mileage than the manufacturer even claims. My only complaint is that after a lot of use, one of the controllers seems to becoming very worn out. This is probably the case with any controller but I haven't used any other controller with my system so I can't make an objective comparison.
Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend this controller to everyone that has a Gamecube.

I bought two of these and two Wavebirds at the same time. As a family we have spent maybe 20 hours or so using all four units and the wavebirds are holding up much better. The biggest problems are sticking buttons and battery holders that keep falling off. I'll be heading out to replace the two Pelicans with two more Wavebirds.

This past weekend we received a pair of these controllers and at first we were thrilled to avoid the hassle of wires snaking across our floor. We played the same games we normally play with the wired controllers and noticed that we were getting our butts kicked by the computer characters. Out of curiosity we plugged the corded controllers back in and tried again. The difference in control and accuracy was very noticeable and our scores returned to their usual levels. We have our TV set up in our guest bedroom and at no point are we more than 12 feet from the console; we were also sure to use fresh batteries. My guess is that this particular brand of wireless controller doesn't have the same level of accuracy we've become accustomed to from their wired counterparts. We'll be returning these and trying out the Wavebrand before we give up on wireless altogether.
