Matchstick...great follow-up info on the Saturn pad!

Here are two new options for the Gamecube that have gotten good reviews and appear to be viable wireless replacements for a Wavebird (only these have rumble function built in which is a nice feature.) Two configurations based on location of sticks (even low with a larger D-Pad for "Smash Bros" or off-set).

This is pretty much exactly what I had in mind! I had no idea such a thing existed.

I'm tempted. Seriously. Thanks for sharing that link.

I might just have to pick one of these up and see if it's just what the DocHix ordered. Stay tuned...

Breaker...not a lot of reliable performance information on this controller in terms of print/online. Here is one review that seems pretty thorough and addresses the same model (different graphic design)...
