If you are serious about games and/or don't want to buy a substandard product then buy the Wii Hori stick instead of this cheap piece of rubbish.
It cost $3 more but you WILL NOT REGRET IT.
I'm posting the as people from this company have obviously been making fake posts against rival products which are blatantly untrue.

The controller was cooler than I thought it would be. Reminds me of the good ol' days when I would play Street Fighter at the Circle K. Can I have change for a dollar? Seriously, this remote is tight. Only downside is that I wish it had some like block to mount on or something so it really felt like an arcade. The size is perfect, but too big to use like a traditional hand remote IMO. Just my opinion. I've never seen a mounting block, but it's just an idea I had. I should probably just make one for myself and use those double-sided adhesive strips to mount it.
Rating: - I was skeptical but it works perfectly
This is a new product by a new company and there weren't any reviews out anywhere on gaming sites. I preordered the shaft from the manufacturers website and just received it a couple of days ago. I have to say that it works awesome. It runs all the old VC games and works great with the N64 games as well. It is awesome playing Brawl with this thing too and I'm excited to use it with the new Mario Kart game.
The joystick fits perfectly in my hand and I like the feel of it. The buttons are the right size and the stick feels great as well. At first I thought it would have been nice if it were wireless but to be honest I think I like it better this way. It always seems that my wiimote batteries are dead and the response time with the classic controller has noticable lag. The joystick looks really good too. There is another joystick out there, the Hori, but it is an ugly box and it won't control analog games (N64 games, wii games, gamecube games).
I like some games with the wiimote but I still feel most games should use a controller. I hated playing Brawl with the wiimote and if this controller only worked with that game it would have been worth it. Great product from a new company. I'll be picking up a second one for my wife. :)

I still drive down to the local arcade to get some hardcore Street Fighter action when I can. There's just something about the feel of a joystick in your hand that makes you feel invincible against M Bison! The Shaft has finally given me a way to play all my favorite old-school platform fighters on Wii virtual console in my own living room. It also works great with Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. Brawl- it's the best of both worlds!
Rating: - Best Joystick for the Wii
I bought this joystick mostly for Virtual Console Games, but also to play Smash Bros Brawl. It has great response time in Street Fighter but also smooth controls while playing Mario Kart. The main selling point for me was that it is the only joystick that works with analog games, digital games, and Brawl. The Turbo Function is also great, you can individually set each button to turbo, which is perfect for Street Fighter. This is definately the most useful Wii accessory I have purchased.
