Advantages: Look cool, glows blue, configurable for any application
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

...I first discovered the Griffin PowerMate while looking at a thread on a forum where people posted pictures of their desk. It looked rather cool, an aluminium knob glowing in blue and sitting next to an aluminium Apple PowerBook laptop. I had a look into it and found that it is not just a volume control, but a programmable multimedia controller. I wanted one! Purchasing -------------------- It was retailing at £44.95 (at the time), but it was ...
...table in John Lewis where they had a silver one reduced to £19.95, so I immediately brought it! Design -------------------- It basically looks like a volume knob from a high end hi-fi, measuring about 5cm in diameter and 3cm tall.

There is a silver ... Read review

Advantages: Vital to play GC games.
Disadvantages: Loads of cheap copies around and official brands are more expensive.

...Gamecube or Wii. The official nintendo ones are obviously the best because of the superior build quality and feel but finding an official nintendo one can be tricky as they are rarer and slightly more expensive because of the vast amounts of cheap copies on the market. But if you don't mind forking out that little bit more cash and putting a bit more work into finding a decent official controller, it pays off as they will last forever. If you can ... Read review

Advantages: Comfortable, good control
Disadvantages: Heavy, cumbersome

It takes up a large amount of space, and is cumbersome to use ... Read review

Advantages: Wireless and bigger.
Disadvantages: Consumes batteries.

The Nintendo Gamecube Controller is an extremely good controller. In this review I will explain the differences and share my personal opinion. The main difference is that it's wireless. It required 2 AA batteries. The batteries last for a long amount of time, so that's good. Another difference is that the controller is bigger, so it will take a little bit of getting used to, but I like that it's bigger. The off/on switch is in the lower middle of ...
...your favorite games. At the bottom of the controller is a tuner that you need to use to tune into the controller. Once you "tune in" once you wont need to do it again, so it's not a problem at all. I have used this controller for a long time and it is very reliable. I recommend it. ... Read review
