Unsure about controllers.

So, I have been using a GameStop Controller. Just recently I got on of the new WiiU ones. I'm unsure now if I should just keep using the GameStop one or take the time to adjust to the WiiU one. Any thoughts?

Just being curious, everyone says that they suck (I bought myself an original controller and haven't tried any third party) but what is it exactly that sucks? Is it just the quality of it or does it actually vary input-wise aswell?

I’ve used at least six different third-party controllers. All of them were terrible.

1. Control stick sensitivity was bad (either too stiff, making it impossible to do quick tilts, or too loose, making dashing unreliable)
2. The buttons were very stiff on all of them
3. Some of them just stopped working after a week or two
4. Most of them had their control stick break down after a few weeks of use. It would either stop reading inputs at all or become so wobbly that it was unusable.
