 A MUST if you have the classic controller!!! June 4, 2008

After I picked up a Wii Classic Controller, I noticed this item here. Once I'd played on the classic controller for a short while, I realized how much better this grip would make game play, and it has lived up to every hope and expectation I had for it. This grip makes using the Classic Controller MUCH more comfortable, and easier on the hands, which makes my accuracy in the games I use it with even better!
The cord keeper keeps the cord exactly where you want it to be - out of your way! The grip is PERFECTLY designed for use with the controller, down to the release button on the front of the Wii Classic Controller (between the ZR and ZL buttons) that pops the cord keeper out of the bottom. The plastic hooks on the cord keeper align the cord in a way that prevents an inordinate amount of stress on the cord base, as well as leaving enough space to hook the other end of the cord and keep it out of the way for connecting the controller to the Wii-mote.
The cord keeper's base also pops directly onto the Wii-mote, but if you've still got the jacket over your Wii-mote, as I do, you'll have to pull down the lower half of it to snap the cord keeper base in place. I just pull the jacket back over the top of the cord keeper's base when it's attached, and it fits almost perfectly.
Overall, this is the best five bucks I've spent on an accessory for my Wii, and it completely does away with the one thing that annoys me about the classic controller - trying to figure out where the heck to put the Wii-mote when I'm using it, and dealing with the annoyance of having a cord in my way. GREAT accessory for a Wii accessory!
Shame on Nintendo for not building the Classic Controller like this to begin with May 31, 2008

It's cheap and makes the controller less awkward and more comfortable to use. Personally, I didn't quite like how it felt with the wiimote stored in the center (not quite as much room to grip the classic controller), but I really don't mind having the wiimote on my lap. Overall, well worth the $5.
 You do have to get the games first May 19, 2008

The controller only works with classic games(not wii or gamecube) and the grip for it is sold here. This is just the snap-on ergonomic handles that make the controller feel more like one built for a Playstation. Which is fine of course, because the ps controller is the best one in use today(the reason why they've never changed the overall design across 3 systems).
Just a reminder, you need the controller first and you need to download the classic games so unless they start making discs with them(which I understand they won't be doing) you'll also need to get the wireless network adapter and then pay relatively small fees for them.
If you love the classic games it is still quite useful and as with the Wii in general it is wireless.
 Very useful May 5, 2008

This product is pretty handy if you like to use the classic controller. You can leave the controller in the grip, with the cord wrapped up (so it stays neat), and just connect the wii remote whenever you want to use it. And for $5 you can't beat it!
Must have accessory for the Classic Controller April 23, 2008

This product is worth it for the grip alone! The way the grip works is that there's two parts -- the grip itself, which makes the Classic Controller (CC from here on) MUCH more comfortable to use, and the plastic cradle that attaches to the CC that holds the Wii remote in place.
The fact that these two parts are separate is very important if you have long fingers; the cradle that sits behind the CC can cramp up your fingers behind the controller after some time. For this reason I choose to keep the Wii remote separate from the CC, and just attach the grip by itself.
The grip + CC combo is how Nintendo should've made it from the start!
