And as Brian said, the button layout just doesn't feel right. The 1 and 2 buttons should be diagonal in the other direction, like how your right thumb would naturally fall on a controller. Unless you have the hands of Andre the Giant, ...it's probably not worth the 9.99 splurge. As of now, it seems the best option for comfort is actually the free Wii remote condom that Nintendo bundles with the controller. Or the Super Famicom Club Nintendo Japan controller! I'm still holding out hope for the Classic Controller Pro to release in the US. It also bothered me that the BOSS press released said it's compatible with "Super Mario Kart Wii"... as if that was an actual game. Fail. Longest comment ever so I'll stop talking now. Thanks.
