Gamecube Controllers

So i was looking around for a GC controller to buy online, and I keep finding these generic GC controller clones such as this one. Anyone know anything about these? I think I'm just going to get an original regardless but wondering if anyone knows if those were any good.

I don't know about third-party controllers but I do know memory cards of that kind are terrible.

heres the amazon for what seems to be the same controller, only its white...looks bad. LINK

yeah i saw that... and this one too. Has some mixed reviews but more than enough bad ones that I think i'll steer clear and get a Nintendo controller

The original corded controllers are the best controllers for the system. I wouldn't suggest anything else.

i have that 3rd party pad and its good , i can imagine the original is sligghtly better but i could only pick between a second hand original or new 3rd party so ...

That's what I have. I also bought a longer wire. It's the best for the rumble feature.

Anyone know where to actually buy a Nintendo brand Gamecube controller? I can't find any in stores.

DO NOT buy one of those clones.

I've had atleast 3 of those break down on me. Get the OFFICIAL nintendo one. Only ones that work best. Im not sure where to find them but trust me, don't waste your money.

Yeah I agree. I've bought a few controllers from 3rd parties before and they all underperformed and in some cases just stopped working. The best controllers are the ones Nintendo makes. I strongly recommend finding those. They may be a little more expensive, but they never die. I've had one since I got my original GC in 2003.

for 5 bucks you can't go wrong. generally speaking i have never had any problems with 3rd party accessories, n64 controllers and memory card have worked fine forever. my friend uses 3rd party wii controllers and they are fine. but there's always a riskm right?

I'm always a little wary of 3rd party controllers. Most of them can be major crap. I'd just get an official Nintendo Gamecube controller. You can get them quite cheap now if you go to Gamestop. Got mine for like $15.

Buy Official or Go Home On amazon you can buy them for a few bucks more and they will definitely last way longer than third party garbage

Non of them are pricey in the least

The extra price for a first-party hardware is worth it, because it lasts so much longer.

dont think im gonna go for a wavebird, dont really want to spend the extra money or have to deal with more batteries. i think the original ninty will do me fine.. now im trying to decide between platinum and black...

thanks for all the input guys!
