 Great controllerDec 28, 2007
By D. Cheng
"Disco"
This conroller has a great unique design that looks like a sheet of ice that has shattered into alot of little and big peices. When you plug it in and turn it on it is illuminated with a bright purplish blue light that shines through the spaces between the crackles of ice. The controller has a good size and lays comfortably in your hands. The only bad thing about it is that it was a little confusing to set it up. When I started it up a bunch of confusing lights started blinking on the controller. Then I read the manual to see what to do. Then it was a cinch to set up. Overall, a positive experience.

OK Wireless Gamecube Controller, Pass for Super Smash Bros. BrawlMar 25, 2008
By JerMe
UPDATE:
Do not buy for the Wii. I'd change this to a 1 star rating if I could. After 2 days, the c-stick stopped responding to smash attacks in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I had to return it.
---------------------
If you're not too picky about Gamecube controllers, then the iGLOW will be just fine if you're looking to play GameCube or Virtual Console games (that use a GC controller) on your Wii. It has a good feel to it, with good build quality and an interesting paint job. Syncing is easy enough, pressing a small button on the top of the receiver, then pressing a "Connect" button on control. There is also a turbo button which you can activate by pressing the turbo button and your button of choice simultaneously. This way, you can turbo the "A" or "B" button without affecting the "X" or "Y" buttons.
However, it goes downhill from there.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl plays "OK" using this controller, but the lag and insensitivity of the buttons and stick put you immediately at a disadvantage against a wired Gamecube controller, and especially against the super sensitive Wii Classic Controller.
The iGLOW itself is heavier than a wired Gamecube controller. Its A-B-X-Y button matrix is a bit closer together than a standard Gamecube controller, but I didn't have a hard time with that. (If anything, the throw distance between the "B" button and the C-stick is shortened.)
Those looking for rumble will be disappointed since that feature is not included in this controller. Those who don't care will not miss it.
Upon flipping the on/off toggle on the back, the iGLOW lights up a blue color via LEDs inside the controller. One particular LED near the D-pad points straight at you and is rather irritating. I haven't had the controller long enough to comment on battery life but I doubt the LEDS help in that department. Definitely get a set of rechargable AAA batteries (even though the manual says not to use rechargables.) But hey, that's why the called it iGLOW, right?
Overall, the controller is usable. I'll keep it since I need a wireless Gamecube controller, but for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, I'd rather use a standard GC controller or a Wii Classic Controller.

 Luck of the DrawMay 03, 2008
By K. Mathews
I have personally owned two of these controllers, and my brother has owned one. Of these three, only one of them is still functioning normally. As for the other two, the turbo is stuck in the on position on one (numerous attempts to remedy this have failed) and the "A" button sticks on the other.
If this controller does not break on you, it is actually quite nice. The grips are comfortable, and the size is excellent for adults. The trick is finding one that will not break.

Not a bad little controllerApr 06, 2008
By B. Hampton
I bought this controller to use with the family Wii and super smash brothers. I do not have the Wii within line of sight so using wired controllers is not an option. This controller works just fine even with the Wii sitting in a different room. The only thing it lacks is an auto turn off feature so; I have to keep it away from my 2 year old.

 Works great, great priceMar 03, 2011
By DiverdaveMC
This controller works great so far. I usually play from about 20 feet away from the receiver. The controller button layout is efficient and effectively spaced for reduced instances of pressing the wrong adjacent button. It has a comfortable feel, appears adequately rugged/durable, and is the right size for teen/adult hand use. Note however (as other reviews have stated), this is NOT a Wii gamepad, and does not work with Wii games that can use a gamepad. This controller is for GCN/virtual games played on the Wii.
