    We've had this controller for about a month! It works great. Connects great. Well worth the cost!

    Love the color & lights. My son knows it's his controller so there is less arguing over them.

    We bought a third Wii remote for my 5 year old son who loves to play Mario Kart with us, and this way, he can play with both parents at the same time. Works well, looks appealing to the kids. Packaging didn't give instructions on how to sync up with the Wii, but I did a Google search and easily found it.

    The remote that came with my Wii but the dust and rather than paying full price for another ugly and boring black remote, I decided to pay only half the price and get one that is way cuter! Win/win! Btw, it's a much cuter hot pink color than the pics look. I was skeptical but I'm glad I got this one.

    Rock Candy Controller is really cool. Just a little slippery when you play but other than that works great.

    Purchases as a replacement for an old Wii remote. Works fine for playing, but often doesn't' shut off when the system is shut down. Have to remove the batteries to get the remote to shut down, if I forget it never shuts off and batteries are wasted. Not as good as a Nintendo brand remote, but does the job if you accept this issue.
