Fun:
I waited for ages for this as the release date kept being moved but now I have it I am really impressed. Its small, light and feels comfortable. Its easy to use just plug in the top of the wii and turn pad on to play. The conectivity to the wii is great and batteries last a while. I have been using it to play zelda windwaker and its been great only problem I have it that the stick is a little to sensitive so when your trying to move onto something you have to keep nudging it slightly and it keeps missing but thats not so bad. I would reccommend it to anyone.

Fun:
I have recently just purchased 2 of these control pad as I was looking for a decent wireless gamepad to use for my Wii, Gamecube & VC games on my Wii.
I have previously used a Gamecube & Classic controller, but have found both caused some problems. The problem with the Gamecube controller is that while it functions perfectly ok & feels comfortable to hold, the wires tend to be a bit short & get in the way. As for the Classic Controller, the analogue sticks on the pad feel strange due to their placing & the Wii Remote has a tendancy to dangle & swing around the place whilst the controller is plugged in the dongle which makes you nervous of your remote smashing into something & breaking.
I have been looking for a decent wireless pad, but frankly most 3rd party controllers feel cheap & as for Nintendo's own Wavebird which was released for the Gamecube, well you'll be if you can pick one up & even then it will cost over £20.
So I decided to check on Amazon to see if I could find any decent pads online & was quite please when I found the Thrustmaster T-Wireless as I have read some good magazine reviews.
My pad arrived just the other day & I am happy to say I am very impressed with it.
The pad is well designed & quite compacted, which means it fits very comfortably & tight in your hands. I quite like the little blue rubber grips with the ribbed effect moulding as these make for a really firm grip when playing frantic games such as racing or beat em up (so this should come in handy when I get my copy of Super Smash Brothers Brawl!!!)
The action button are layed out just like the Classic Controller & SNES pad layout which means that all the button are easy in reach.
I have notice quite a couple of reviewers comment on the analogue sticks size and responsiveness, which is strange as I found them to be just perfect (personal preference I gues?)
The D-Pad is well designed & very responsive. Another thing which I also like is the turbo and slow buttons on the pad which should come in handy for VC games such as Turrican, Street Fighter II ect.
The only thing I would mark the controller down on is the Map button which enables you to remap your buttons to suite your own taste. Whilst I'm sure this will come in handy for a lot of players, at first I hit the button accidently until I got used to the button & analogue stick placement, which caused for some confusing moments when I accidently reprogrammed some of the game action buttons, but I'm used to it now & it no longer causes a problem.
In all, I would say this is a pretty solid 3rd party wireless pad and well worth the price for only £13.
If you need a wireless pad, try this. You can't go wrong!

Fun:
I have been looking round for a wireless controller for use with gamecube games on my Wii
as my wired controllers don't reach from the console to the couch (comfort is everything).
A wavebird would have done the trick but these days these run to about £25-30 for new
imported one and so I thought I would look around for a third party controller. As far as I
can tell, the T-wireless is the first and only third party wireless cube controller available,
and at £13 it was worth a try.
The controller itself is about the same size as a normal gamecube controller and it weighs
about the same with batteries. Unlike the wavebird it has rumble and has a switch on the
controller so you can turn rumble off to save on batteries. The controller uses three AAA
batteries and although I haven't done any definitive tests the battery life is unlikely to be
that great and I would personally have preferred a bit more weight and longer lasting AA
batteries.
My first impression was that the build quality wasn't as high as first party controllers, with
the battery contacts being a little out of alignment (but easily pushed into place) and the
cap on the receiver thing that plugs into the wii being loose.
The button layout is more or less the same as the SNES/classic controller but as it is a
gamecube controller there is no "select" button which is annoying if you are playing VC
games with it. The buttons felt solid enough, as did the decent sized d-pad (no problems on
pac-man).
The analogue sticks are a bit stiffer and springier than the classic controller and they don't
have those little groves to force you into into the eight directions. On the shoulders of the
controller, the Z buttons are above the L and R ones rather than inside like the classic
controller. The L and R buttons are simple buttons and don't have the travel-and-click
mechanism which might frustrate in games designed to treat the L and R as two buttons
rather than one.
Overall, the controller was worth the price and depending on your taste with regard to
button layouts, analogue sticks and rumble it might even be better that the wavebird.
Pros:
Half the price of a new imported wavebird, about the same as a classic controller.
Rumble that can be turned off on the controller.
No perceivable lag.
Comfortable shape and size.
Cons:
No "select" button.
No travel on shoulder buttons.
3 AAA batteries.

Small controller with badly placed 'MAP' button.
The controller is too small. While it fits in your hand, due to its small size, parts of your hand stick out over the edges and there's nothing to grip, making it feel weird. Read more
