Awesome to have a wireless item that works great and a must have for any nintendo system!
Rating: - Wavebirds - the ONLY good wireless controller for Gamecube/Wii
The Good:
- Amazing range. No dropouts ever!
- 16 channels. Each is hard-coded so not dependent on auto-synchronization
- No problems with analog-controller drift
- OEM feel. Very solid, great construction.

- No extra features like turbo, macros etc.
- Pricey. (Come on Nintendo, start producing these again!!!)
