I picked up a wired Nyko "Kama" nunchuck as part of their combo with a wired Wing classic controller. I actually haven't test out the Wing yet, but we have fairly extensively used the nunchuck now and I can recommend it if you are in the market for one. I like the way it feels in hand better, yet my kids like it too, so it seems to fit big and small hands well, and the quality seems to be excellent, with a very good control stick. If and when I decide to get a 3rd nunchuck again, I'm pretty sure I'll pick up another one of these instead of Nintendo's. Heck, Nintendo's nunchuck has proved pretty disappointing. We've had 3 of theirs and 2 have failed on us. I don't know what the longevity of the Nyko will be, but it can't be worse and so far it seems solid.

I've seen some bad reviews of their wireless Kama, but the wired one is good. I'm somewhat inclined to give the wireless version a try anyway now, though, but I don't know. In any case the wired one is a good product.

I'll update this when I get a chance to test out the wired Wing controller, but given the nunchuck I have positive expectations for it. I like the feel of it in hand better then Nintendo's, but I haven't tried it with any games yet. The combo pack is $30. They sell the nunchuck separate, but the wired wing doesn't seem to be available separate yet - it is shown as a separate item on their web site, so I presume it will be eventually.

I Just joined this forum after finding it on a search for reviews of this controller. I bought one yesterday and returned it today so I could get the nintendo nunchuk. The Z button on the nyko did not work with the motion plus while playing resort. The Z button did work (still plugged into the motion plus) on lego star wars, so there must be some software error or something that is preventing the nyko and motion plus form working together. I have read that the nyko wand needs updating from nyko to use the motion plus, so perhaps it is the same with the nunchuk. It felt good though, hopefully at some point this can be fixed if I ever need another controller, because I'd like to get the wand and the nunchuk together since they can both vibrate.

I should have updated thus a long tine ago - this nunchuck replacement is garbage! Mine died in about a month and i believe due to flawed design, particularly of the z button which Is going to start sticking after a while due to the design. I'm sorry I ever suggested it. :(
