I purchased this exact same model/brand almost a year ago. My kids were a overly rough with them being only 5 and 6, but they held up great under fire. The old ones still work well, but are starting to lose connectivity/sync with the Wii frequently from being dropped a LOT. Since seeing these for $13 (I purchased two to get the free shipping) after spending $25 each on the last set, it was a no-brainer. These are great controllers, you won't go wrong. Here is the data from my review of the $25 ones a year ago:
From a functional standpoint, I have been pleasantly surprised by its ability to maintain sync and function seamlessly with all the motion plus games I own. They appear sturdy and seem rugged enough for younger ages. There is a sync button on the top right of the controller (instead of by the battery reservoir ), but it is flush with the face plate, so my kids and I have had no issue with inadvertently depressing it.
The box contains two generic 1500mAh NiMH AA-size rechargeable batteries, two wrist straps, a mini screwdriver and a charging cable. The charging cable is simply a mini-USB (snakebyte end) to USB (Wii end). The mini Phillips head screwdriver is for battery reservoir cover, which has a screw instead of a lock-clip. This is a bit inconvenient if you use alkaline batteries, but favorable if you utilize the rechargeables via charging cable to prevent inadvertent disposal. From what I have read, there is a two-year product warranty on snakebyte accessories, which I think would be beneficial for Amazon and its vendors to advertise. HOWEVER, keep the box as the website clearly states that "all returns must be returned in original box with packing, manual and all included items originally included with product".
Overall I say this is a great controller for the price, being at least as good as the Nintendo brand, if not better in some aspects.It's all a wii control, works perfectly, even sometimes seem to work better than the originals, recommended to all interested in acquiring wii controls discounts
