There is none other greater than the Holy WaveBird. Seriously.

Wavebird is rad. My pearl white GCN first party controller looks hot plugged into the Wii.

The Wavebird. There's no way I'd ever go back to wired controllers.

wavebird is the best ever. sometimes there is a delay, but thats usually just sign that its about time to change the batteries. i know some people that dont like it because of the lack of rumble, but i dont really care much for rumble. so the wavebird is my favorite controller.

I've never experienced any lag with my Wavebird. I just wish it had rumble.

Anyone else wish that Nintendo would release a special version of the Wavebird for the Wii? Here's what I'd want:
- The c-stick should just be like the control stick.
- Second Z-button on left side.
- Rumble.
- Can be used as GC/Wii/VC controller by just changing a switch on the controller.

Considering the cost delta, the original controller (with the advantage of having rumble, and a lower cost) is tied with the Wavebird (~$10 more, w/o rumble, and slightly bulkier).

The only time I ever noticed a lag was when I needed to change the batteries (once in two years). I've never minded the lack of rumble -- I usually turned that feature off when using wired controllers anyway.

Doesn't it already do these without a switch? I have played my GCN games and my VC games with my Wavebird.

The Wavebird makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I just added the switch part JIC.

Yeah. It does that without a switch now. But a Wavebird with rumble and USB rechargable batteries would be a dream come true.

I'd just recommend a used wired first party controller, unless you sit too far away from the console for that.
