Topic: 3rd Party Control???

[ReallyScrued]

k,  i recently got timesplitters 2 and hitz 2002, now all my friends want to play and i bet i will have a full house once i get SSBM.  The thing is, to save a few bux, i purchased a pelican g3 controller from walmart for 15$. good price, bad controller, its wide, feels like xbox, have to push down Z way too hard, no grip on c stick. the c stick is where it ruins it, trying to control myself in ts2 is impossible when my thumb slides right off the stick.  Anyway, my next choices are a real gcn controller for 15$+ shipping at walmart.com orrrr i can get a mad catz microcon starter pack, one controller, memory card 59, two extension cords, for 15 dollors THEN a 10 dollor rebate, no shipping charge. This is at circuit city for a weekend sale.  I hope the micocon doesnt have any major problems, i was wondering if i can get some people's first hand expierences with the controller....anyone?

I have a Pelican Wireless G3 and I absolutely LOVE it. It performs just as well as a Nintendo Wavebird - plus it supports the rumble feature. I bought the controller back in January and I just changed the batteries last week! Not bad for AA batteries - with the rumble feature on 30% of the time!

Uh, my Wal-Mart has standard controllers for $20. $5 goes a long way man =)

I have a pelican G3, and a pelican G3 wireless, and love them both. The bottons, the grip is just perfect for me. I've had the G3 (with cord) for over a year, with no problems. I've had the G3 wireless for about for months and have not had to change the batteries yet.

I thought about getting the microcon, but it is just way too small.

I guess it is just up to your personnal preference. I would recommend going to a store that has the controllers out of the package for testing. I go to Fry's and see how the controllers feel before I buy one.

u guyz actually like the G3?? i hate that piece of crap, they changed it too much, play ts2 with the pellican and then switch to a real controller...feel the difference? now u tell me which one feels nicer. actually this might be personal reference, so last nite i went and got the circuitcity pack. btw, the conrtoller was not a microcon, but a pro pad, its like a microcon just larger.  it came with the propad, two extention cables, and a memory card with a case.  the controller alone is 12.94, extention cables are 6.99 each, and memory card from mad catz is 5.94. i got it all for 15.99, tell me i didnt get a good deal.......oh and btw i love the controller!! feels so mich better, one problem though, the left anolong stick is being stuck when i push it forward, it seems there is some indentation in the controller just above the stick, and when i push it forward it gets stuck by rubbing against the indentation, i wanted to put some oil on it but is that really a good idea? oh and my anolong stick for my OEM gamecube controller is getting pretty loose for a nutrual position, it moves a bit in the middle really loosely, u need to bring it to the outer edges to make it work.  how can i make it as sturdy as it was before? thx for any help
i write too much
