Excellent, High-Quality, no lagging!

The bottom of the controller sticks out quite a bit, but this does not affect gameplay and other than that it is the same size as the regular gamecube controller. Simply fantastic (unless you're one of those people that just NEED to have rumble for some reason).But one slight problem: Is it just me, or do the trigger buttons occasionally fail? For example, in Resident Evil 4, I'll be holding the R button to aim, but it will quickly go back and forth from normal view, as if the button cancels out...

After 10 min of no use my xbox controller automatically shuts its self off which saves the...

Not without its flaws.

Nintendo's biggest problem is that it has NEVER been able to construct quality controllers. Who remembers the N64 grit-filled analogs which would ruin in a few months? Well the Gamecube controllers have similar problems. They do not get 'gritty', however they do become non-responsive over time and with excessive use. I have two brothers, and we all play games a LOT, and on the gamecube, we play Super Smash Brothers Melee, which can strain and wear out ANY controller, and in my opinion, the Wavebird...
