bit-tech Shopping: Nintendo Official GameCube Pad - Purple (GC)

Rating: 8

Time with product:

Strengths: Durability, quality.

Weaknesses: Cord length. Sometimes "B" button will stick.

Summary: The standard GCN controller is about the only peripheral you will ever need. It's built like a tank and will take a beating from even the most frustrated gamer. The construction and design are ergonomic and solid. Caveats to this controller are that in some models the "B" button will stick after extended or rough play. This can be remedied by twisting the two handles in opposite directions, the button will pop out like new. I would also say that the short cord length is somewhat of a hindrance, especially in the presence of the wireless wavebird. With that in mind I wholeheartedly recommend the Indigo controller. IT will compliment virtually any gamecube, and it's a hearty beast that will take your best and hardest gaming sessions with aplomb.

Strengths: Work great!

Weaknesses:

Summary: Just received this a few days ago. It works just like the one received in the game cube bundle. It is really fun to play mutliplayer games (ex: Madden football). Having two controller / mutli play ability is really fun now.
