This controller is way too big and from everyone elses reviews I can see why the world see's us American's as ego trippers. I play basketbal and I'm 15, I have big hands because I've been able to hold the ball in one hand since I was 11. I still think the controller is too big, it gives me cramps, and for this reason I can only play my xbox for limited times. On the other hand I find the gamecube standard controller not quite right either, but the wave bird, looks really bad, but for me plays perfect.
