At Least It's Not As Complicated As The Nintendo 64 Controller! - By: Mrs. Dawnc Alexandre, 30 Jan 2007 
I had difficulty experiencing the Nintendo 64 Controller as it has three holding points, & you don't exactly know where to position you're hands! Luckily enough, when I got my Nintendo Gamecube, I got used to the Nintendo Gamecube Controller quickly & impressively without hassle.
You'll find that most of the buttons on the Gamecube controller are easily recognizable. Most of which are as featured from the Super Nintendo & Nintendo 64 Controllers & even the Gamecube's Controller mimic's a bit from the Microsoft XBox Controller!
The only cry I get with the controller is that the joystick, has these circles on top, which are a bit rough & can make your thumb have a itch or two. But I've found out the more you use the controller the smoother it gets! On my controller I've lost half of the circles now, but it still works anyhow!
The Nintendo Gamecube controller has a total of 14 Buttons (28 Buttons if you include alll the D-Pad & alll 8 corners on the Joysticks!)
My Grade For The Controller: 8/10: Enjoyable, Fair-Play, Thumbs Up
My Wish: I wish the lead were just a little bit longer. Sometimes when you have 4 controllers at once in the Nintendo Gamecube, you tend to pull it so much; the Gamecube cannot seem to handle the pressure!
Final Comments: Well at least counting the buttons on this controller was a bit easier than the Playstation 2 & the Microsoft XBox's!

All the people rubbishing the XBox & PS2 controllers, have you ever used one? The PS2 pad is very good & the fact that it has had only minor adjustments in many years is a true testament to it's quality. And the XBox controllers are fine if you do not have tiny hands, they are sturdy & built to last. In contrast this Gamecube pad is flimsy & it looks & feels cheap. Do yourself a favour & get an XBox
An excellent controller - By: , 18 Mar 2004 If you’ve bought a gamecube you will probably have one of these controllers already & will know of its brilliance. First of alll the controller is of unique design & when you fist look at it some may say it looks rather childish with its bright colours & strange shape. However it looks brilliant when compared to the boring dated PS2 controller & the black behemoth controller of the X-box. It is perfectly designed for the gamer. The controller is the right size (unlike the large cumbersome X-Box controller) & when you hold it your thumbs are ideallly positioned over the two control sticks & your fingers have easy access to alll the other buttons & there are enough buttons to meet the needs of even the most demanding games. The controller has a built in rumble feature that vibrates to just the right level. Another brilliant feature of this controller is the digital click feature of the L & R buttons meaning the harder you press the more intense the action. If considering buying a second controller for your cube although the unofficial other controllers are cheaper most are nowhere near as good as the official cube controller. So if buying a cube controller I recommend you spend a little extra on the official controller unless you wish to spend more & purchase the official wireless controller- the wavebird
Well what can i see say you need it. - By: D. Cuthbertson, 03 Nov 2003 The gamecube controller is a worthy purchase for the gamecube because let's face it you can't play without it. There are wireless controllers avaliable now for the gamecube but they are pricey so it's best just to have a wire one for a cheaper price.
