I use an orange microcon, because they're cheap and pretty much the same as the original, just smaller and from a different company. I had an original, but the analog stopped working after a year...so i'm not going to spend a lot of $ on a controller to have it break again. The microcon feels a lot like a normal controller( its just a little smaller ), so i'm just getting them from now on...unless someone knows something i don't about it...?

I'm gonna be the 3rd in a few days. Got one on the way... and I can't f'ing wait! My buddy just got the Nintendo Club Wario edition the other day, and that is just beautiful.

Wavebird all the way! You can't beat the wireless-ness. Sure no rumble, but for the games that need it, A simple visual assistant is there for you.

I use a standard controller, only because the X button on my Wavebird is...squishy...because I spilled a bit of root beer on my controller and it got under that button.

With third party you're lucky if it's fully functional out of the box. Seriously I got one for a friend and the B button stuck on the first try >.>

I use standard Sivler because that was the only color they had. I'll sometimes mix things up with my original purple standard controller but it's mostly just the silver.

I really don't trust third party controllers. For me, it's Nintendo Official Controllers all the way :D.
At present i'm using a semi customised Purple controller. (Customised as in covered in tip-ex smilies ^^)

I do have an untoutched black one though, but it's waiting for the realease of Brawl in the UK.

I use standard black CG controller that came with my cube. It has worked very well, but that isn´t only reason: I haven´t found any other options! It took me about half year to even find a shop where I could buy another controller from in Finland!

I dunno what it's called, but it's a Gamestop-brand mini controller. I like it better than the regular Nintendo ones because, since it's smaller, it means less hand movements which makes it easier to play in general.

Standard Black controller, I've had it since the GC came out and the control stick is starting to loosen.

I had another controller just like that one but my brother killed the control stick playing RE4 (curse you "rotate the stick or you'll die" sequences".

I have two standard Gamecube controllers well one is borrowed from a friend. I call mine Frankenstein because it has no thumb rubber and at one point it was held together by red tuct tape but at least I finnally got the D-pad and start button to work:p

I also used to have two white ipac ?? 3rd party controllers but threw them in the garbage couldn't Dashdance or WD it was the poots.

i got 4 wavebirds. 2 of which are new and 2 that are only a few years old. I love using them to control more then 1 character at once lol. sometimes me and a friend will have match ups of 1 higher tier character vs 3 lower tier characters. Once in Brawl i used this trick online. I completely ***** this dude with my 3 ice climber team. best victory screen ever too!
