Comfortable grip. Played a lot with it. Made me happy. My fingers never cramp up because it has a switch that you press to make your moves continuous-no more repeatedly pressing buttons.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought the controller because of the design. When I used it, I could not control the characters on screen and had to keep pressing the "classic" button. What a mess! Ending up unplugging it, and replacing it with the regular controller. I'll keep it for guests, but I won't use it again. Waste of money--stick with the regular Wii controllers.
What's great about it: Love the fit and size.
What's not so great: Function buttons are too close to the joystick.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

AVOID THIS PRODUCT AND THIS MANUFACTURER
I originally bought this knock-off Wii nunchuk when the store was sold out of Nintendo branded nunchuks. The price was the same for both the Nintendo Wii nunchuck and the Datel Edge controller ($19.99). The edge controller worked intermittently during the first few months, but would lock up the Wiimote at random times so neither would work. I think it shorted the Wiimote out based on the symptoms.
Calling Datel customer support proved to be a maze of pre-recorded menus, none of which were for the Edge controller. I was able to eventually find a menu that allowed me to "press to to speak with a representative." After 5 minutes of being on hold waiting for a live person the system forced me to a general voice mailbox and ended the call.
I guess I just wasted $20.
What's great about it: Feels comfortable to use.
What's not so great: Cheaply made; shorts out the Wiimote; Customer service is AWOL.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is a great alternative to buying the Nintendo wii nunchuck. It is cheaper and larger which is great for adults. I found the original nunchuck just a little small.
Build quality seems great, it should last me a long time.
What's great about it: cheaper, larger than the wii nunchuck
What's not so great: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review 6 for Datel Edge Controller for Nintendo Wii
Better controller
Customer Rating
5.0
Need an extra nunchuck controller or a replacement? This one you should get. It is a bit larger than the Nintendo version which makes it easier to hold for longer periods and it costs less as well. So far I have had this for a couple of months and no problems at all.
What's great about it: comfort, price
What's not so great: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Nunchuck - Better Price

I just stopped into Best Buy to buy a replacement Nunchuck for my son's Wii last week - he broke the original one I bought for him somehow unfortunately.
Fortunately for me, I ran across this Datel version that was $5 cheaper than Nintendo's version. Not only was it a great price, it is a little bigger and my son actually likes it better than the original one he had because it fits his hand better.
I can't find any difference in how this works versus the original version, so for me, this was a great deal.
What's great about it: Price, works just like my Nintendo Nunchuck
I would recommend this to a friend!
