Does this controller have more of a glossy feel like the original gamecube controllers, or is it more matte like the Smash Bros edition controllers?

Glossy like original. I've got all three plugged in to my Wii U, and just compared them. It is pretty hard to tell the difference, but finish on this controller looks/feels most like the original game cube controller.

Whoever is telling you this is Matte is an idiot. Like Tom says, its a glossy feel. This IS the original GC controller.

The smudge proof protectors does have a matte finish and comparing it to the original, the original is more shiny and thick. I don't personally care too much for the original because it is very shiny in my opinion

I am a scratch freak on everything I have so not a bad question. The stand has not put any scratches on my controllers to the point. The front glossy part never touches the plastic.

It's not matte, it's glossy. Mine is still holding up well, & "getting along" with my diztronic case, meaning the case isn't peeling up the corners of the protector.

Yes...that is the same model that I have...there are only very slight differences between this and the original remote controller. Does not have a dedicated button to switch between 2d and3d...but the function is still available through the menu settings button. Controller buttons not backlit as with original and does not have Braille points. No light button.

It's fake, the give away is that there is no X in the middle of the home button for the controller like past remotes manufactured by Xbox were still given an X on the home button. The other give away was the color of the analog sticks both of the analog sticks on the remote controls manufactured by Microsoft had either all Grey analog sticks and D pads while this one has a brownish grayish hue to them and a completely different color to the D pad this remote is not authentic unfortunately i have yet to find a wired remote that is authentic at any gaming utility stores near me but you might find one at an authentic one at at your nearest Microsoft Store.

Mine shows up as a Wireless Gamepad F710 with the switch on 'X' and a Cordless Rumblepad on 'D' when looking at game controllers. I'm using it on XP, with no driver download (auto-detected drivers) So far it has worked with all controller-compatable games in 'X' mode, though I havent seen any that differentiate wired and non-wired. I'm a PS3 gamer so this one is a bit heavier than I'm used to, but it is one heck of a nice unit.

It feels like a video game controller, but much thinner. Very sleek feel and my hands aren't that big.

Mine came in as white and gold, i like it better than the yellow :) Also the controllers are the newer style, the throttle is not spring loaded so you can hover easier.

Yes, I would say it is smooth and glossy. Not shiny or anything, but definitely not a matte finish like on plain kraft paper.

No, it is more matted. My last one was shiny and I really liked it, but I like this one too.

It's roughly the same. The width across from end-to-end is pretty much the same. It's thicker though, because of the need for AA batteries. That also adds a little to the weight. But I have a PS3 at home and have used it for many years, and I find this controller quite comfortable, very similar layout.

That is my only complaint. They shoudl have included that in the description. I have Mario, Luigi, and Peach themed WiiRemote. If it wasn't for the jacket that came with them, it would haev bothered me so much. The battery lid is black so it doesn't match with my controllers.

I can't speak to this but we are very happy with the controller. We use it for Skylanders, Mario Kart, and Sports Resort. It works just as effectively as the Nintendo brand one we also have, these are extras. I don't know if this helps....

@ juan: no, the controller themed case is actually airbrushed on. Before purchasing the case i thought it was 3D as well, but unfortunately it is not! :-(

Yea this controller is definitely a third party controller. To be honest I bought this because it was cheap but for some reason I kept getting shocked by the controller. Eventually it was unbearable and persistent to the point where I sent it back and just bought a microsoft controller. No complaints since then.

No it does not. It feels lighter than the Nintendo 64 controller as well. Basically it is the Nintendo 64 controller shell and a circuitboard in the middle. I bought both the grey and black. Great purchase in my opinion.
