    Great for non wii games4
    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.

    Great wireless controller for Wii, Gamecube & Virtual Console games5
    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!

    T-Wireless Does It For Me5
    I purchased this controller so that I could get rid of those horrid cables running from my Wii to my couch. Despite the two negative reviews on Amazon I was really keen to get my Wii back under the TV. When it arrived I was delighted! As long as you have 3 AAA batteries to hand you simply plug in the wireless receiver into the Wii and off you go. I've had no problems at all with reception and the ergonomics are really good too. If you play Gamecube games on your Wii, this is the controller for you!
