No the official Nintendo white ones with the 10 foot cords are great. But there are some rip-off/bootleg white ones that were made by taking a regular gcn controller, making a mold from it, and then using really cheap plastic to make similarly shaped copies that suck.

If it doesn't come in a box that looks like this, it'll suck: http://sickr.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/whitegamecubecontroller2.jpg

Yes I've seen those. IIRC, another thing to note is they don't have Nintendo gamecube printed on the front :x

No, it's doesn't have "Nintendo" on the front, or the text on the backside of the D-pad and C-stick.

The mold is legit though.

Not really a mod, but I opened my controller to clean it. When I put it back together the d-pad was all messed up and hard, so I can't taunt without reopening it again and adjusting the d-pad back into position.

For anyone interested in what the inside of a Gamecube controller looks like see here:
