Whats Up With the G3

[gamemaster79]

I own two G3 controllers. One wireless and one with a wire. I have had the wireless one for about a year and the wired one for about 1/4 a year. The first game I ever played with the wired one was Mario Kart: Double Dash. However, too soon after I purchased the wired one, I became very disappointed with it.

Both G3's are WAAAAAAAAY too sensitive.

I don't know if this normal, or if there is a way to fix, but I'm just in for responses on this. Is there some specific use for these controllers? The only use I have found for them is for Mario Kart: Double Dash!! as that is the only game I own that I can easily play the game with.

In general, third-party controllers = evil.  With the time, effort, and money that it would take to fix the components of the controller to make it work better, you'd be better off just buying an official controller.

Yeah, I really regret buying a Pelican controller. It was cheap, but it's bulky and seems hollow.

The only controller I have that is 3rd party is the Ascii Keyboard Controller I ordered from Japan, to type faster in Phantasy Star Online.

Besides the fact that it is huge in length and takes up two slots if you want the keyboard to function as well, I didn't have much problems with it.

My Jet controller's control stick broke after throwing it at a wall after becoming frustrated in Starfox Adventures.

My Indigo controller, for the most part, is fine, but the control stick is starting to go on that as well.

My Wavebird is still in great condition.

I have a HORI SNES styled GCN digital controller.  I'm not sure, but I think it is official.  It works nice for GBA games on the GameBoy Player.

The standard GCN controller is my favorite, but I sometimes wish the A, B, X, and Y buttons had a more SNES styled layout.  Also, the digital cross pad is too small, but I rarely use it anyway.

Certain Japanese companies, like Hori, are exceptions to the 3rd party accessories suck rule.  However, you have to import their stuff... I really want one of the Anashin2 controllers, but they're so expensive...
