Nintendo Wavebird Controller (DOLABLG2) for GameCube

The Wavebird is great! It has multiple channels so that multiple Wavebird players can play at the same time. Also, without the cord, you're allowed the freedom to play your game from anywhere in the room.....

Excellently built, stands up to just about anything. Slightly large but not bulky. Very reliable piece of equipment.

easy to use controller, reliable and funny.

The range on the WB is so high that you can play with it even in a far other room from your GC.

It's a good deal to buy it in used condition.

I have been very satisfied with this item. A big change from the crappy, cheap, wired knock offs I bought off Amazon beforehand! This make playing PSO a breeze!

The Nintendo GameCube WaveBird Wireless Controller uses revolutionary RF technology that allows people to play Nintendo GameCube from anywhere in the room, without wires and without having to be directly in front of an infrared receiver. The WaveBird Wireless Controller replaces standard controllers. Up to four controllers can be used at one time. With the WaveBird Wireless Controller, you can play up to 100 hours on just two AA batteries.

I ordered a used ninentdo wavebird controller for my kids gamecube and it works great and it was a good price! Great shipping too.

I decided to buy this item, because it works great for my Nintendo Wii. As I play, the controller works perfectly on the other side of my 30 foot long room, and it feels good to hold in my hands. The battery last very long, and there are no problems with it. One word describes the item: AWESOME!

Item was in great condition and delivery was fast. item works perfectly as described in description.

Excellent product, thank you for the great buy. It is very difficult to find quality wavebird controllers these days due to them being discontinued.

Branded by Nintendo, this is by far the best controller (both wired or wireless) available for the gamecube. Perfect connection via the receiver in combination with the (AA battery powered) controller offers one of the best gaming experiences out there. Response time is top notch, controller is compatible with both the Gamecube and Wii, and can be found for under $30. Not bad considering you can sit across the room and play your favorite games on two different systems with this thing. :) 10/10!

loved this controller, very comfortable and light even with the batteries in the controller. No rumble feature on this controller. recommend this product to anyone who owns a gamecube.

I love everything about this controller. Works perfectly was a great price. Shipping could have used more secure packaging in box, but thats about it. Very grateful for finding this product.

the wavebirds are fantastic machines with multiple channels to play on. this allows you to take advantage of a series of different frequencies in case they should be occupied by other electronic devices (say other controllers for gaming systems, telephones, microwaves, routers) and the best part about this machine is the wireless freedom it affords you. absolutely brilliant and high quality. the response difference between a regular corded controller and a wavebird is unnoticeable, if there is any at all.

Love the Wavebird. Bought one initially close to 5 years ago and it's still going with no problems. Recently decided to pick up a second one but no luck finding one at Gamestop. The exact words of the store clerk were "That is the best wireless controller ever made. We never see those come through here used." So, ended up on eBay and got one for a great price, new they run about 29.99, I believe. As a side note, these are one of the few wireless controllers that have an on/off switch to conserve batteries and the only one I've ever seen with channels to switch between to find the best connection without interference from other controllers. You will not be disappointed with this item!

We wanted a set of wireless controllers for our Game Cube-- recently inherited from our son ! I shopped all the options & found a great pair. Since I have 4 children & we all played as they were growing up, it was a bonus to find a seller advertising "no children use " in the history of the product. It is a different experience to get to play Nintendo from any chairs in the room without wires to strictly limit distance. It works well & looks alot better to maintain at all times in the room.

We tried an aftermarket controller by Madcatz for the gamecube and it failed fairly quickly. The Wavebirds we have are working well after years of use. It's the best piece of equipment we've used for this application. I wouldn't buy another aftermarket controller for the gamecube, I'd just buy the Wavebird.

Overall, the Nintendo Wavebird controller is amazing, but unlike the normal GameCube controllers, this one doesn't have a rumble feature. (So as to save battery power, most likely) It works with a Wii as well, of course.

As sad as it sounds, I was to the point that I would not play my old, beloved GameCube games nor VC title because I hated getting out the corded GameCube controllers and extension so much.

These WaveBird controllers work as well, and maybe even better, than the original, wired GameCube controlllers.

I finally have the ability to play my favorite GameCube games and VC title with the same wireless freedom that my Wii title offer me.

Why Nintendo no longer offers these for sale is a complete mystery. If you are lucky enough to fond someone offering these controllers new in the package, you willl likely have to pay upwards of $100 per controller.

If you can find them under $25 a piece used, then you've found a good deal.

Do not waste your time with the cheap knock off brand wireless gamecube controllers...they will only cause you pain.

The WaveBirds are the real deal.

I really do suggest these types of controllers,for several reasons. I have rhumatoid arthritus(and a few other health issues),my hands/knuckles especially. using the 'normal' gamecube controllers,after 1 hour of use,hurts my hands/knuckles.As well a pitting edema issues.I feel like I have been holding on for dear life to jump rope handles! I'd cramp up something awful. These types of controllers,after 4 hours of non stop use,my hands only ache lightly.I am having so much fun playing,and able to concentrate on my games much better-a great relief for sure! These are a bit larger than the normal controller.and they are LIGHT in weight! it's like you don't have a controller in your hands.To use them it's very simple-just plug the reciever in the gamecube or Wii system-place 2 double AA batteries(I prefer to use energizer -they seem to last longer)-turn on the controller to activate the reciever-then each has it's own small dial,you turn 1 notch at a time until the controller responds to reciever.now-I did learn something,when I 1st turned them on,I had my game system in front of my bed,on a stand.I moved it to be in front of tv,away from my bed--I had to readjust the controller.so,to save your self a few minutes,place game system where you want it,then turn on and activate them ;) they work on radio frequency-not the red light infared.The button features are same as normal controller,just a bit more space width wise.the handles are a bit shorter-which is a feature I love.You do not feel like your holding jump rope hadnles.the extra width gives your hands a more natural feeling while holding these.I own 2 of these,and they can be used at the same time--as I said they work on radio frequency,and each has it's own settings.they DO not interfer with each other at all.No delay play/moves in game play mode.....I bless the day these were suggested to me! now I can play hours-and I do mean hours,and not cry,nor get frustrated at throbbing of pains in my hands!Freedom to enjoy 100% YOU will notice the better quality/features instantly!These are a great investment all the way around.I thought they 'd be heavier because of the size difference and was worried about it-needlessly worried I learned-THESE are light! I had installed 2AA batteries,I play on average about 5-14 hours a day(depending if I am having a good day or bad day-I am disabled with many health issues)that was about 2 weeks ago-I have not turned off the controller to save on batteries. I want to see how long they last on batteries.You'll REALLY will enjoy these,light weight and fast responding time for game movements! :) :)

The item arrived very quickly, and in good condition; I have no problem buying from this seller again. The only thing I did not like is that the condition of the item was not described in the seller's posting - I decided to chance it - and it worked out well !!
